In skimming the blog traffic today and knowing that I needed to spend some time updating how @thebeltway can help you, the commuter, I came across this blog post:
http://community.naa.org/blogs/opportunopoly/archive/2008/10/07/gannett-quot-tweet-quot.aspx
let me comment, since I could not on the site… WE ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH GANNETT OR NEWS Channel 9.
Although the thought did cross my mind to engage with @angiegoff about possibly being one of the contributers to the feed, as she is only local area traffic reporter I have seen actively using twitter.
With that said, I am working on the content to be more real time and less spam. As well as remind you, our followers to keep reporting traffic to us @thebeltway or #thebeltway and hash tag the streets and direction of traffic.
By the way, to Melinda Gipson, who wrote the blog about this feed possibly being related to channel 9 or Gannett, I apologize, we never did receive that email from you. I am updating our email address to go to my account to ensure that all future correspondence is received.

Nice article about the Twitter feeds. I’m the one managing the WUSA9 Twitter site, and that’s true–we are not associated with your account. Although our tweets are mostly the top stories from the DC area, we do pop in and reply to certain viewers in the area. @angiegoff is a great person to partner with down the line.
Oh yeah, thanks for following @wusa9 and we’ll return the favor.

Thank you Patrick, it is very good to know how engaged in the community Channel 9 is by using social media and checking on their brand through blogs and other outlets. It is a proactive and positive approach to make sure you stay in touch with your consumers.
