Comment on Participatory news– by Janet Johnson

I’m not sure if it is healthy. I think we have to learn to filter our own information with the emerging media that is coming out. Personal media is only going to get bigger.

Is it healthy to access the news that much? Lately I have been feeling that, as a nation, there is too much reporting on certain things and that is greatly affecting our national outlook.

Comment on Blogs and Dialogism in the 2008 United States of America Presidential Election Abstract by W. Peter Teague

The abstract moves straight to the point of the study, what you hope to accomplish and spawns in this reader’s mind immediate “I wonder how questions, and I am curious about that thoughts.” This a desire to explore your research methods, tools, and proof points used to arrive at your conclusions. The use of the word dialogical appears to be deliberate and is appropriately underscored by words such as intimate and interactive.

I might have used different words regarding the Clinton and McCain “failures.” Specifically, words suggesting their lack of effective utilization of this new media. That however, is more a reflection of personal style than a substantive critique; neither of which were requested yet worthy of noting.

My overall impression: Well done, Ms. Johnson.

Comment on Tea–Warms the Soul by Janet Johnson

The Yellow and Blue is decaf. Green tea is lower in caffeine than the black teas, and don’t make me feel jittery.

I actually ordered all but two of the teas. I found loose tea at a higher end grocery store where they grind coffee and sell nuts, grains, candy, etc loose. Maybe Trader’s Joe? But, I bought the Paris, Wedding and Yellow and Blue tea on the Internet from a tea company I like.

So funny, I just put a cup with a flavor-less “Evening Plum” tea bag in the microwave, and am letting it steep as I check fb & email. I actually have a tea scoop and a teaball. I also have a tea pot and a tea strainer. I would love to try loose tea, but I can never find it. They don’t seem to sell it at the supermarket and I don’t think of it any other time. Where do you buy it?

Comment on Bad News Day until Lysacek won Gold by Janet Johnson

I tend to read the news online and I start to feel agitated and anxious as well. So, I try to limit my news intake for the day or it will make you go crazy.

I flip on the 24 hour news channels throughout the day and sometimes the news is uplifting, but many times it is not. I find the more I watch it, the more anxious or upset or agitated I become.

The Olympics provide a nice respite from the negative news.
