A Shot of 11 Alive's First "News Tweeter"

Had a lot of fun on Friday night.

Here's how you can follow 11 Alive on social media.

First WXIA 11 Alive News Tweeter

11Alive, the NBC affiliate here in Atlanta has been using "citizen" tweeters on their morning show for months now.

Basically, bloggers, media personalities, and PR people have come in and live tweeted what they see going on during the morning show.

Well, 11 Alive has decided to add a "Tweeter" to their 6pm and 11 pm newscasts.

I was honored to be the first "news tweeter" on their 6pm Friday night newscast.

Nice to meet Rebecca, and anchor Jeff Hullinger along with meteorologist Mike Francis.

A great and professional newsroom.  Hope I did ok.
