Twitter as Defendant Press Release
For those of you Social Media Junkies & Mavens, I wanted to share this fun post at Crain’s Detroit discussing Sam Riddle’s Twitter addiction. I feel that library emerging technologists often neglect to point out the value of Twitter as a potential PR weapon for folks facing felony charges. Who needs a spin doctor when you can just post things like:
“”Mmmm Damn DetNews.com Is Wrong -Again – I was Never Paid By Kay Everett- Didn’t Even Know Her When Her Actions Resulted In Fed Charges.”"
Or this:
“Haters Step Aside”
Amen to that!
On a related note, Riddle tweeted about his visit to the Art Fair here in Ann Arbor last week. Who knows, maybe he picked up a piece of the free candy which was such a hot item at the Health Sciences Libraries tent.

Andy, thank you so much for posting this! Sam Riddle’s twitter is like what I imagine Al Sharpton’s twitter would be like if he got arrested. Or, say… Kwame Kilpatrick. Oh my word, TheRevAl is on twitter! Followed! As you can see, this post has tremendously enriched my life.
