I’m in today’s episode (MP3) of Future Tense talking about Twitter.
Producer and host Jon Gordon emailed me through my website asking if I’d be interested in talking. Why he chose me, I’m not entirely sure. We arranged a conversation that lasted about 15 minutes where I continued to stutter and otherwise sound like a Minnesotan: “ya know” “um um yeah.” He was using Grand Central from a coffee shop and we did the interview over VoIP to his laptop and Grand Central saved it as an MP3 for him. So not only does he write stories about technology, he lives it too.
When we were done with the interview, I posted this on Twitter:
Jon Gordon thought it was pretty funny, mentioned that he posted about our interview on his blog and added: “This is such a strange loop of old media / new media / blog / radio / Twitter.” When I read his blog entry, I noticed that he quoted Twitter’s entry in Wikipedia, which I happened to have edited that morning. I bring this up to him “speaking of strange loop…” and he replies: “O M G.”
Heh. He also asked me if there was anyone else he should talk to about Twitter. Without a beat, “Rex Sorgatz,” and then added how he was the self-proclaimed biggest evangelist of Twitter. I mentioned his appearance on G4’s Attack of the Show talking about Twitter the previous day.
After his chat with Rex, he joined Twitter and started using it. You should add him. He needs more friends than just Rex and I.
On a final note, after hearing Future Tense on the radio for years, it was a little treat for me to finally hear Jon Gordon say the word “shit.”
Minneapolis and Saint Paul listeners can hear Future Tense on KNOW 91.1FM weekdays at 8:20 am and 10:30 pm.

Posted 30 Mar 2007 at 11:38 ¶I’m in on LDG if the weather is bad. If the weather is nice I’m going north on Saturday.
Posted 30 Mar 2007 at 11:48 ¶You sounded pretty good to me. You weren’t giggling at the end like Rex.
Posted 30 Mar 2007 at 12:53 ¶Briz, Erica- Jon Gordon did a great job editing.
Posted 30 Mar 2007 at 12:59 ¶Hey, I talked for 10 minutes, and he used the last 40 seconds where I giggled!
I’m no giggler, honest!
