RegularJOE’s First Tweet

SxSW is a hot poppin tech gumbo — signed up for Twitter @hitrecordjoe — saw “We Live In Public”

500 Days of Summer is playing here in Austin at the end of the week, but South By Southwest is not just a film festival. It’s most known for its music, and then there’s what they call “Interactive.” The tech, the net, the new media. I decided to come down to Texas early, and try to humbly soak it up. Glad I did, I’ve met so many cool people here, kicking so many asses. It’s good to know that awesome people are building the future.

@ronen and I ceremoniously signed me up for Twitter in front of the state’s capital.

And I saw an intriguing documentary, “We Live In Public,” about the internet’s past and future.

What does it mean, hit RECord?

What does it mean, hit record? Different things… It can be an object, a musical recording that sold a lot of copies. But it can also be an action, to hit record, to start recording, to make a record, be it musical, visual, textual, or anything else. That moment when you hit the REC button, when the tape starts rolling, or the camera clicks, or even when somebody writes something down, it always makes my heart beat a bit harder.

Hit record. A complete sentence in the imperative tense, it’s something I’ve been telling myself a lot lately. When I was younger, my life’s work was to be recorded, but not to hit record. This site is changing that.

What do you suppose could change if we all started to hit RECord?

“Recorders”

hitRECord just barely begins to make the acquaintance of traditional entertainment journalism

Here’s my end-of-2008 RECord.
Song by MGMT off the album Oracular Spectacular
Speech from October 22, 2008 in Richmond, Virginia
Very first time I heard the song, I knew it was an Obama reRECord
love and
again by heart…
