Another great interview, this time by Patrick Thornton of BeatBlogging.
Patrick asked some really good questions, including some from his Twitter followers. Topics discussed include:
– What kinds of Tweets are the most popular?
– How do newsroom staffers feel about social media and the Colonel?
– Why is it important for news organizations to interact with users?
Anyway, please let me know what you think. If I sound like a complete idiot, please let me know. (I mean, I hope I don’t!)
Hey, folks. Figured I’d give you a heads-up: I’ve been spending a lot of time on my new site, Old Media, New Tricks, and not too much time on DanielHonigman.com.
I’ll still post here from time to time, but until I get into a rhythm over there and get it up to speed, you can always follow me on Twitter or read my stuff on CigarJack.
I’d listened to the Capture the Conversation podcast before, so I was more than happy to do this. Jason’s a great interviewer.
You can listen to it here. Enjoy!
You heard it here. Old Media, New Tricks is a new blog Rob Quigley and I have started, where we will share some of the new media tricks we’ve learned while doing our jobs.
Check it out!

(This is the second of three reviews for Alec Bradley’s Trilogy line of cigars: the Native Cameroon, the Authentic Corojo and the Exotic Maduro.)
Last week, I reviewed the Alec Bradley Trilogy Native Cameroon, and I was impressed, but not blown away. I figured I’d wait a little bit before I reviewed this one.
The Alec Bradley Trilogy Authentic Corojo has a stellar prelight scent: cocoa with hints of hay and leather. The several sticks I tried had good draws, and — call me crazy — but do you know when a cigar just feels good in your hand? This one did. There were a couple of veins in the wrapper, but the Corojo is pretty smooth.
About an inch in, I got walloped by even more cocoa and leather, and about halfway in I got even more spice. Not too peppery, but a steady, subtle spice. It was good.
The Corojo produces nearly white ash, but it’s quite flaky. However, I didn’t experience any of the burn issues Brian at Stogie Review had almost a year ago.
Verdict: Exceptional cigar for the price. I’d smoke this one again, for sure, and you should give it a try.
(Note: This review originally appeared on CigarJack.)
Great little list. I didn’t even know of twInfluence.

Here’s some more digital ink: A Q&A with Brian Wallace (aka Nowsourcing) for Collective Thoughts, a social media blog.
Enjoy!
Rob Quigley, the Web editor for the Austin American-Statesman, and I were quoted in this MarketingSherpa article about — surprise — mainstream media using Twitter.
Rob stole the show completely, but I got the kicker quote.
Anyway, we may or may not have something cooking. So stay tuned…
A couple of weeks ago, I posted links to some of the best blogs in Los Angeles. The reason: work-related stuff.
Anyway, here are some more L.A. blogs:
– Eating L.A.: Good food-related posts of all sorts.
– Farmhouse 1983: Just. Crazy.
– Fresh Approach Cooking: Sensing a theme yet? I love to eat.
– Funny Cute: Funny sketches. Some are a bit racy. Just a warning.
– green LA girl: A good guide on how to live green. In L.A. Pretty straightforward.
– Griffith Park, Interrupted: Stuff about Griffith Park and Silver Lake. Both hipster-ish neighborhoods, I think. Although Donna, the author, seems non-hipster-like, which is a good thing.
– Blood and Guts: Poetry and other stuff. Amusing.
– I’m From Missouri: All sorts of stuff.
– JasmyneCannick.com: Decent blog on black issues. Not sure about the music, though. (Just kidding, Jasmyne!)
