In the messaging war on Obamacare, both sides get personal [ BeritaTerkini ]

<div id="yom-ad-LREC" class="yom-ad yom-ad-LREC"> <center> <div id="yom-ad-LREC-iframe" class="yom-ad"></div> </center> </div> <p><br></p> <p>By Gabriel Debenedetti</p> <div class="body-slot-mod"> <div class="yom-remote"> <div class="yom-loading" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div> </div> </div> <p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Wayne Dofflemyer is no fan of Obamacare.</p> <p>Because of President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul, Dofflemyer’s insurance company dropped the 70-year-old retiree’s doctor from its network this year. Dofflemyer, who credits the doctor with saving his life when he had a ruptured colon in 2012, switched to a different insurer for about the same price in order to stay with his doctor.</p> <p>But Dofflemyer, of Hudson, Florida, said that he was still angry enough about the hassle of changing insurers to complain to his Republican senator – Marco Rubio, a vocal critic of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.</p> <p>Mark Sullivan, a 31-year-old Texan, is just as passionate in defending the policy. He says he managed to sign up for coverage on the program’s technically challenged website, HealthCare.gov, and will save enough money on health insurance to help him start a “business intelligence” website service.</p> <p>In Washington, Dofflemyer and Sullivan’s stories have become part of the messaging war over Obamacare, as Republicans and White House-led Democrats spar over whether the technical problems with the program’s web site should lead to a broader reconsideration of the effort to help millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans.</p> <p>Allies of Obama’s administration, besieged by criticism from Republicans who oppose the healthcare law and see an opportunity to undermine it, have fired off a barrage of press releases and social media posts with stories like Sullivan’s, touting the virtues of the healthcare law.</p> <p>Senate Republicans and conservative groups have fired back with stories such as Dofflemyer’s. Their aim is to cast the healthcare law as an expensive job-killer that, despite Obama’s promises to the contrary, will force millions of Americans into unwanted – and sometimes more expensive – changes in their coverage.</p> <p>For both sides, the idea is to cut through the political rhetoric and arguments over bureaucratic failings in Washington and present personal, touching anecdotes that support their side of the Obamacare story and resonate across America.</p> <p>The White House on Monday shared four anecdotes from people like Sullivan whose insurance coverage had improved under the law, which was passed in 2010 and approved by the U.S. Supreme Court last year.</p> <p>The president tried to inspire a gathering of the pro-Obama group Organizing for Action (OFA) by telling the story of Kentucky’s Jeffrey Huff, who had written Obama a letter explaining that his family’s monthly healthcare costs would drop by more than half next year because of the Affordable Care Act.</p> <p>And in a sign that both sides see power in such stories, the White House asked Americans to share their Obamacare success stories on its WhiteHouse.gov website, while the Senate Republican Conference (SRC) solicited Obamacare horror stories at a new web site, republican.senate.gov/YourStory.</p> <p>“The idea is that we get real-life examples that we can share with senators from their states. When they’re talking about these issues, you can really put a face to it,” South Dakota Senator John Thune, chairman of the SRC, said in an interview.</p> <p>Thune said he also had encouraged senators in his party to talk about Obamacare with their constituents on Twitter.</p> <p>They are looking for people like Dofflemyer, who told Reuters, “I run into people and Obamacare comes up, and everyone’s like, ‘Bleh.’ “</p> <p>Democrats have used Sullivan to boost their claim that although the HealthCare.gov website has had significant problems, the healthcare program itself is solid.</p> <p>“A lot of reporters want to talk about the problems with the website,” Sullivan told Reuters. “I can understand that focus, but a lot are missing the bigger story” that many people in Obamacare will save money on their insurance.</p> <p>Sullivan said he has been taken aback by the “whirlwind” of attention that has come with being an amateur spokesman for the policy, Obama’s signature domestic policy.</p> <p>“I got to meet with (Health and Human Services) Secretary (Kathleen) Sebelius two weeks ago,” Sullivan said. “It’s been … a little unexpected. All I did was sign up and tweet about it.”</p> <p>HEALTHCARE ‘INHERENTLY PERSONAL’</p> <p>Lauren Crawford, a Washington-based partner at Hamilton Place Strategies who has advised Democrats and healthcare campaigns, said personal stories are crucial in a messaging fight such as this one because healthcare “is inherently personal.”</p> <p>With Obamacare, “people want to make what’s the most financially smart decision for themselves, and what’s the best coverage. So messaging-wise, we went from this big ‘millions of people signing up’ campaign to a more individual one,” Crawford said.</p> <p>She rejected the notion that such stories from the White House were merely an attempt to shift attention from the website’s troubles, which have prevented untold numbers of Americans from using the site to enroll in insurance programs.</p> <p>“I don’t think it’s a conscious effort to move the debate, but this is a next step. We’ve been talking about the website for over a month now,” Crawford said.</p> <p>The pace of personal stories from both sides of the healthcare debate has picked up this week.</p> <p>“Yes, the website had some problems, but saving roughly $ 2,500 next year (in premiums alone!) seems well worth a little extra patience,” the White House quoted “Mark from Idaho” as saying on Monday.</p> <p>DEMOCRATS SCRUTINIZE FOES’ MESSAGES</p> <p>In a video aimed at Floridians that was released the same day, Republican Senator Rubio read letters from constituents such as “Barbara from Palm Coast,” who complained of having to buy more expensive insurance because of Obamacare.</p> <p>The Democrats’ messaging efforts have included poking holes in personal anecdotes put out by Republicans.</p> <p>The White House on Monday pointed to articles in The New Republic and Consumer Reports that it said debunked claims about the rising healthcare costs of Diane Barrette, a Florida resident.</p> <p>Barrette, who media reports initially said could be forced to pay hundreds of dollars more for insurance each month because her current plan will be canceled, appeared in CBS and Fox News reports and was touted in Republican press releases, The New Republic noted.</p> <p>But the more expensive insurance plans that Barrette complained about “also offer real coverage, and her current plan does not,” the New Republic story said, adding that after having her options explained to her, Barrette warmed to them.</p> <p>She called the change a possible “blessing in disguise.”</p> <p>Democrats have long used poignant anecdotes to promote social programs by focusing on the people they help, while Republicans typically have focused on such programs’ impact on the federal budget or whether they represent an unwanted growth of government.</p> <p>“It’s one of the reasons Republicans have tried so hard to stop, blunt, divert, delay Obamacare” before people begin seeing many of the program’s benefits, said Tevi Troy, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and deputy HHS secretary under president George W. Bush.</p> <p>So in essence, Republicans have taken a page from Democrats’ playbook by using personal stories of their own.</p> <p>“It personalizes it, it humanizes it in a way that … Republicans don’t do as well as we should,” Thune said. “For better or for worse, everybody is having an experience” with Obamacare.</p> <p>(Editing by David Lindsey and Grant McCool)</p> <ul id="topics" class="hidden"> <li>Health Care Policy</li> <li>Health</li> <li>Barack Obama</li> <li>Obamacare</li> <li>The White House</li> </ul><p></p> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

Plan behind this ipo is to raise some price in its stock market, because twitter has never turned any profit in its existence.<br /><br />Twitter has made many decisions about the pricing of shares like $17, $23 and $ 25, which are rumours now. These variations are going on from September onwards. At the last it has been reached to $26, which may become the final price for this ipo.<br /><br />Max Wolff, chief economist and strategist at ZT Wealth said: “A tech IPO like Twitter with no profit is an emotional event, not a fundamental event. You either believe or you don’t. Above $26, I think this thing starts to look a little dicey.”<br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://pc-gadgetworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/new-update-released-by-twitter-for.html" target="_blank">Twitter released new updates</a></div></div>

Tests Show Herbal Supplements Are Often Fake – AARP News (blog) [ BeritaTerkini ]

So how can we be sure the pills actually contain what they say they contain?</p> <p>Uh, we can’t. And they frequently don’t. That’s what was revealed by a new study that used a type of DNA testing that recently has helped detect fraudulent labeling of seafood.</p> <p>Canadian researchers gathered 44 bottles of supplements sold by 12 companies and representing 30 different species of herbs sold in the U.S. and Canada.</p> <p>Using DNA bar coding to identify the genes in the ingredients, they found that one-third of the supplements contained contaminants or fillers with no trace of the herb indicated on the label. Fillers included ingredients like powdered rice, soybean and wheat, and some of the contaminants “pose serious health risks to consumers,” the researchers wrote.</p> <p>Thirty of the 44 bottles had substituted unlisted ingredients, while only two of the 12 companies had products without contamination, substitution or fillers, according to the study.</p> <p>For example, one bottle labeled as St. John’s wort, which is taken for mild depression, contained only Alexandrian senna, a powerful herbal laxative that can cause chronic diarrhea and liver damage if taken for a prolonged time, the researchers wrote. Gingko biloba and echinacea supplements were found to be contaminated with black walnut, a serious health hazard for people with nut <span class="meta-classifier">allergies</span>.</p> <p><b>>> Get discounts on health products and services with your AARP Member Advantages</b></p> <p>As the New York Times reported, consumer advocates and scientists say this is more evidence the herbal supplement industry is riddled with questionable practices, while industry representatives downplayed the problem.</p> <p>“Overall, I would agree that quality control is an issue in the herbal industry,” Stefan Gafner, the chief science officer at the American Botanical Council, a nonprofit group that promotes the use of herbal supplements, told the Times, adding, “I don’t think it’s as bad as it looks according to this study.”</p> <p>Not surprisingly, David Schardt, a senior nutritionist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group, had a different take: “Given these results, it’s hard to recommend any herbal supplements to consumers.”</p> <p>Even the FDA, which requires dietary supplement companies to test their products for safety but only pulls products from the shelves if people become seriously ill, said most companies are ignoring the government’s rules. “Unfortunately, we are seeing a very high percentage — approximately 70 percent — of firms’ noncompliance,” a spokesman told the Times.</p> <p>So which brands should consumers avoid? Unfortunately, the researchers wanted to avoid singling out the culprits by name, so no product names were revealed in the study. Probably the best advice is remain highly skeptical and take all those herbal health claims with a giant grain of salt.</p> <p>Photo: Ano Lobb/Flickr</p> <p><img alt="Special Veterans Day Membership Savings Offer" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-53726" height="150" src="http://blog.aarp.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/New-Vet-Banner_200x150.jpg" width="200"></p> <p><b>Also of Interest</b></p> <p>See the AARP home page for deals, savings tips, trivia and more</p> <p class="post-meta"><br><strong>Tagged:</strong> Candy Sagon, dietary supplements, DNA testing, echinacea, FDA, gingko biloba, HB, herbal supplements, supplements    <span class="share-via">Share via:</span><br> Facebook<br><br></p> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

FIRE IN THE SKY: "I Have Never Seen Anything Like That Before" - Massive Flashing Fireball Seen Hurtling Across California Sky During Meteor Shower!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 07, 2013 - UNITED STATES </span></b>- Residents from around the Southland reported seeing a large light streak across the night sky Wednesday.<br /><br />Authorities tell CBS2 and KCAL9 that the object appeared to be a meteor.<br /><br />Many calls came into law enforcement agencies from Riverside, La Quinta and Rancho Mirage. CBS2 and KCAL9 also had reported sightings throughout Orange County.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NqC4RfiId2o/UnvJQcLeCNI/AAAAAAABNXY/jRfM3EgEIUQ/s1600/socalfireball02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NqC4RfiId2o/UnvJQcLeCNI/AAAAAAABNXY/jRfM3EgEIUQ/s1600/socalfireball02.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Glowing: At one point the meteor glowed brighter, pictured. It was likely part of the South Taurids meteor <br />shower which is expected to be active for the first couple of weeks of November</td></tr></tbody></table><br />One viewer, named Myriam R., was driving west on the 118 Freeway when she said she saw a large fireball around 7:50 p.m.<br /><br />“I thought it was a plane,” she said, “but it was too fast.”<br /><br />A witness named Fabian sent CBS2/KCAL9 video from a security camera in his front yard in Sylmar.<br /><br />“At first I thought it might be fireworks,” he said. “It was kind of greenish, and it was large. And then it broke apart.”<br /><br />He added, “I’ve never seen anything like that before.”<br /><br />Other sightings were reported in Arizona, Utah and Las Vegas.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: lime;"><b>WATCH:</b></span> Massive fireball streaks across skies of Southern California. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="321" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/Y8UMg8BIJm8?showinfo=0&version=3" width="570"></iframe></div><br /><br />Scientists predicted a meteor shower that occurs every year about this time. But they also say we haven’t seen anything yet.<br /><br />So-called  Taurid meteor showers, which seem to come from the direction of the constellation Taurus, will reach their peak this year on Nov. 16 through the early morning of Nov. 17. Observers, aided by a full moon, will see 10 to 20 large fireballs every hour.<br /><br />The website PlanetSave.com says the 10-to-20 figure is actually fewer than we normally get in this time period,  but that it still promises to be “a pretty good show.”<br /><br />KCAL9′s Serene Branson spoke to Dr. Laura Danly, a curator at the Griffith Observatory.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dzlfeSNGASw/UnvJa7o4HbI/AAAAAAABNXg/VBU3UEP5Dac/s1600/socalfireball.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dzlfeSNGASw/UnvJa7o4HbI/AAAAAAABNXg/VBU3UEP5Dac/s1600/socalfireball.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fireball: Hundreds of Californians reported seeing a massive fireball moving across the sky on Wednesday</td></tr></tbody></table><br />The fireballs are easily explained, Danly said.<br /><br />“They’re rocks in outer space. They’re chunks of asteroids, called meteroids,” Danly said. “They’re flying into the Earth’s atmosphere and they’re burning up. It’s kind of like when astronauts return to the Earth’s atmosphere and there is all that heat during re-entry. Same idea. These rocks are literally burning up.  And that’s what you’re seeing.”<br /><br />Phone lines at the Orange County Emergency Operations Center lit up. Dozens of OC residents were calling 911 when they saw a green light streak across the sky.<br /><br />The residents told dispatchers they saw a meteor.<br /><br />CBS2′s Stacey Butler spoke to witnesses in the OC.<br /><br />A Mission Viejo man was driving on the 73 Toll Road when he saw the light show.<br /><br />“I saw this big, greenish flash like, light up the sky,” Matthew Isaacs said. “It was headed pretty sideways from like, east to west. I thought, ‘Is that a firework?’ And then I realized, that couldn’t be that big. It’s just in the middle of nowhere in a totally dark area where there’s no houses or anything where anyone would shoot fireworks. I thought, ‘Man, it must have been a meteor.’”<br /><br />An astronomy professor at UC Irvine said the green light people saw was oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere.<br /><br />She said every day, there are about 800 meteors in the Earth’s atmosphere. Most of them don’t ever touch ground and many of them are 100 grams, like the size of a yogurt cup.<br /><br />Sightings were reported as far away as Texas. - <a href="http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/11/06/large-meteor-shower-lights-up-night-sky-across-the-west/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>CBS Los Angeles</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

I have the potential to say something stupid at any moment. It’s gonna be an Afternoon of Awkward people! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Plus, I have to wear a suit. Hell, I had even forgotten that I owned a suit until I looked in my closet to see what I had and what I might have to go get for the funeral. It’s a pretty decent suit and it all matches which is a huge plus right there. I’ll just have to try to stop myself from fidgeting around and messing with my tie the whole time. It’s pretty bad when a 45 year old is more fidgety than the little kids. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">It all starts at 12 Noon with a lunch at the Methodical Church over in Yellville. My primary objective during lunch will be to make sure I don’t spill anything on my shirt which is much easier said than done. I’m not sure what will be served but if it’s possible to drop a big blob of it on my tie and shirt, I’m sure I will. Damn won’t I look good up there with the other pallbearers with a big stain right in the middle of my shirt? OH GOD THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN ISN’T IT??!!??<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Then there’s the funeral itself. Since funeral services are generally not very long it really won’t be that bad. Just a little sermon and maybe some people telling some fun stories and stuff like that. Immediately after the service comes one of two opportunities for epic embarrassment. I’m talking of course about possibly being THE ONE who either struggles with or even loses his grip on the coffin. Okay, that’s probably not going to happen because there are eight of us and I’M A BIG STRONG MAN! But, nothing is out of the realm of possibility here. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Let’s see, what else could go wrong? Oooooo I could have a massive fall allergy attack! That’s a good one. I’ll end up spending the entire day sneezing and snotting all over myself and people sitting or standing near me. Not to mention the hacking and coughing while the preacher is trying to speak. Man that will be super annoying! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">My back could suddenly act up. That would be sweet. Sitting there in excruciating pain desperately needing to move around or lie down but not able to. Could you imagine how much fun that would be? Not to mention I would be walking around looking like someone shoved a corn cob up my ass. That’s always a good look. Also, if I’m in that kind of pain I’m far more likely to say something stupid and/or spill some food on my shirt. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Honestly, there’s a loooooong list of things that could happen. I’m not saying I think any of them will, I’m just saying it’s possible. Don’t worry though, I’m totally not stressing over this at all. Nope, not me. I know it’s all good.  Well, unless I have BOTH an allergy attack AND my back flares up! Yeah, that’s the most likely scenario. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/jayman68" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS</a><o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div></div>

Olympic hopeful’s dreams revived in different sport [ BeritaTerkini ]

<p>On a seemingly innocuous day in May 2010, Ashley Cooney was daydreaming about gymnastics. This was not unusual for the then 14-year-old, who had devoted most of her life to the rigorous sport.</p> <p>Cooney's aspirations revolved around gymnastics and a gruelling 34-hours-a-week training schedule was testament to her dedication. She had been part of the prestigious WA Institute of Sport for eight years and had already won a batch of coveted national junior medals. Her precocious talents in the vault and uneven bars had her destined for Olympic glory in London. </p> <p>"I was a very hyperactive toddler always climbing on furniture and jumping off things," Cooney says. "At the age of four, Mum enrolled me in gymnastics and I loved it. My skill progression increased rapidly and I was mastering skills."</p> <p>Predictably, Cooney's thoughts were focused on her passion while she was a passenger in a car driven by her dad through the Perth suburbs during that day in May. The mundane unexpectedly ceased in devastating circumstances. The Cooney's family vehicle was T-boned by a car running a give way sign. Their car rolled before hitting a kerb and resting the right way up.</p> <p>To compound the situation, Cooney suffered a full-blown asthma attack and had to be cut out of the car when emergency services arrived at the scene. Struggling to breathe and suffering excruciating pain, Cooney's hopes and dreams flashed before her eyes. Despite being in a state of shock, Cooney processed the gravity of the situation. She knew her life would never be the same again.</p> <p>"Whilst struggling to breathe I was able to recollect what had just happened," Cooney remembers. "By looking at the state of the car and my injuries I knew I was in trouble and so was my career." A fractured collarbone restricted her upper-body movement and strength – requisites for success in uneven bars.</p> <p>Cooney survived the accident but a part of her never did. Ashley Cooney the gymnast was gone forever. Representing Australia as an Olympic gymnast was not her destiny. It was a bitter realisation for the teenager.</p> <p>"Everything came crashing down, with nine years of training and an Olympic team taken from me in a flash," she says. "When I retired from gymnastics, I was lost for a very long time. It was a big part of my life and identity. "</p> <p>Desperately trying to shake off her stupor, she pursued other sports. Unfortunately, she could not find a sport that replicated the sheer joy she experienced as a gymnast. Fortunately, life has a habit of conjuring silver linings for those persisting.</p> <p>One day, Cooney was introduced into Winter Olympic sports by a talent scout visiting WAIS. Immediately, Cooney was intrigued. Sure, it seemed wacky considering she had never even seen snow. But Cooney had always enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics on television and her innate audacity plunged her into the unknown.</p> <p>Cooney gravitated towards the luge, where athletes rocket down a chute, feet-first, on a sled. It is the fastest sport on ice, where speeds average in excess of 120 km/h. Her agility and strength developed through gymnastics was a natural fit for her newfound sport.</p> <img alt="Ashley Cooney " class="gu-image" height="276" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/11/7/1383788826972/34aa9b38-6e43-40bc-ab0a-fa45440ead90-460x276.jpeg" width="460"><br><br>Ashley Cooney flies down the track. Photograph: Tristan Lavalette/Guardian<p>"There are no brakes," she explains. "Athletes rely on their reflexes for steering, unlike bobsled, and they have no protection should they make an error."</p> <p>Under the guidance of Australia's dual-Olympian and current national luge coach Hannah Campbell-Pegg, Cooney has enjoyed a meteoric rise. She quickly made the Australian luge team and after her first race 12 months ago, Cooney is now on the verge of Winter Olympics qualification, ranking inside the required top 27.</p> <p>The 18-year-old is currently training in Norway in a bid to realise her new dream. At year's end, Cooney will know whether she will be journeying to the sleepy Soviet-era town of Sochi for February's Winter Olympics.</p> <p>While yearning to make the trip to Russia, she is not burdening herself with expectations that often suffocate athletes. Cooney is not obsessed solely with results because she knows luge has been catharsis.</p> <p>Competing in luge is helping wash away past sorrows. "I fell in love with the sport of luge," she says. "I will never forget my first run and the adrenaline pumping through me. I had that desire and determination back to follow my dreams.</p> <p>"It was the second chance I never thought I'd have and I'm giving it my all." Cooney knows second chances are rare. She is relishing redemption. </p> <img alt="Ashley Cooney " class="gu-image" height="420" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/11/7/1383788629045/6bef114d-784e-401d-aab6-2fd651095ce7-407x420.jpeg" width="407"><br><br>Ashley Cooney of Australia.

Why many no longer watch the birdie [ BeritaTerkini ]

<p><cite class="byline vcard"><span class="provider org">Press Association</span> – </cite></p> <div class="yom-mod yom-art-content" id="mediaarticlebody"> <div class="bd"> <p class="first">They loved it. Now many hate it.</p> <p>A growing number of celebrities, athletes and self-promoters are burnt out and signing off Twitter. Many have become overwhelmed.</p> <p>Some people built big audiences on the short messaging service, only to have their followers turn against them. Others complain that tweets that once drew lots of attention now get lost in the noise.</p> <p>As Twitter begins trading publicly today, the company is selling potential investors on the idea that its user base of 232 million will continue to grow along with the 500 million tweets that are sent each day. The company’s revenue depends on ads it inserts into the stream of messages.</p> <p>But Wall Street could lose its big bet on social media if prolific tweeters lose their voice.</p> <p>Evidence of Twitter burnout is not hard to find. Just look at the celebrities who – at one time or another – have taken a break from the service. The long list includes everyone from Alec Baldwin to Miley Cyrus to Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof.</p> <p>Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt lamented “all the negativity” she saw on the service when she quit, temporarily, in July. Actress Megan Fox left nearly a million followers dangling when she checked out in January, explaining that “Facebook is as much as I can handle”. Pop star John Mayer deleted his account in 2011, saying Twitter absorbed so much of his thinking, he could not write a song.</p> <p>“I was a tweetaholic,” he told students during a talk at the Berklee College of Music in boston, Massachusetts.</p> <p>If Twitter turns off celebrities who have a financial incentive to stay in close contact with fans, how can the company prevent average users from becoming disenchanted?</p> <p>For some users, Twitter tiredness sets in slowly. At first, they enjoy seeing their tweets of 140 characters or less bounce around the Web with retweets and favorites. But new connections soon get overwhelming. Obligation sets in – not only to post more, but to reply to followers and read their tweets.</p> <p>Many users conclude that Twitter is a time-sucking seduction and turn away. One who calls herself patrilla$ $ $ thrilla excitedly tweeted “first tweet, wocka wocka” just after she joined in July.</p> <p>But yesterday, 161 tweets and 27 followers later, the romance was over. She quit to “fully enjoy the little details in life I miss because I’m too busy here”, she tweeted.</p> <p>The cacophony creeps into everyday life. Twitter fanatics tweet from the dinner table, during a film, in the bathroom, in bed. Holidays can seem like time wasted not tweeting.</p> <p>The over-doers suffer from a “fear of missing out” (or FOMO), says Tom Edwards, vice president at themarketingarm, a Dallas-based advertising agency.</p> <p>“Managing our virtual personas, including all of the etiquette that comes with, can be tiresome, especially for those with large followings,” he said.</p> <p>It happens – even to people who ought to know better. Ask Gary Schirr, an assistant professor who teaches a course on social media at Radford University, Virginia.</p> <p>In August, while holidaying on a beach, he felt a pang of withdrawal because he had stopped tweeting to his 70,000-plus followers. Then he saw an old condemned house about to be washed away and posted a photo to Facebook and Twitter. He felt relieved when the likes and retweets rolled in.</p> <p>“You feel forgotten if you’re not out there,” he said. “It’s another sign of addiction. You feel bad if you don’t tweet.”</p> <p>Prolific tweeters stay engaged partly because there are real benefits to a big following, which usually requires tweeting a lot.</p> <p>Journalists who have large Twitter followings have used them to land better-paying jobs because every click on stories can make more money for their new employer. Actors can land roles on TV or the movies if their digital audience is expected to tag along.</p> <p>Matt Lewis, a columnist with The Week magazine, says his Twitter following is like “portable equity” that gave him an edge over more established writers earlier in his career. He now has nearly 33,000 followers.</p> <p>Even so, one of his more popular stories is called “Why I hate Twitter”. It goes into why the social network became, for him, “a dark place” overrun by “angry cynics and partisan cranks”. He became demoralised by the criticism, but could not pull himself away.</p> <p>“It’s also like a prison. You can’t check out,” he said.</p> <p>Others find that as more people join the service, the deluge of tweets can drown out individual voices.</p> <p>Bob Lefsetz, a music industry analyst who writes an email column, the Lefsetz Letter, wrote in July that Twitter was “toast”. “Over. Done. History”.</p> <p>His follower count is not rising as quickly as before, although still a respectable 57,000-plus. And his tweets do not see as much action as in the past, which he attributes to too many people tweeting “too much irrelevant information”.</p> <p>“In the old days, I’d get 20 retweets. Now I’ll get none,” Mr Lefsetz said. “It makes me not want to play.”</p> <p>Along with the potential for burnout, there is also the risk that Twitter becomes uncool to the younger generation, especially when services such as Pinterest and Instagram are a tap away.</p> <p>Devon Powers, an assistant professor of communications at Drexel University, says many of her students have moved on to Snapchat. But there can still be pressure to keep up with the other services.</p> <p>“There’s all these new obligations to update and report and check in,” she says. It can make dropping offline feel like a relief.</p> <p>“If I get really busy, the first thing I stop doing is checking Twitter. I’m living my life. I’m not having a commentary about it.”</p> <p>AP</p> <p></p> </div> </div> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>
