THE TWEET BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Written by @JessicaNorthey
Edited by @SClarkWXYZ
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the web,
Mouses were stirring, and eyes turning red.
Looking for fun, in all the wrong places;
Myspace, Linkedin, had no friendly faces.
Mafia wars, Farmville, not filling the void,
Accidentally found Twitter, on my new Droid.
Thought it was silly, useless, absurd;
But in less than an hour, I turned into a nerd!
Uploaded a picture from 10 years ago-
That’s good enough, no one will know!
No longer overweight, bald or unemployed;
Now sexy, exotic and overjoyed.
Visions of friendships, with musicians and stars,
This was way better, than any bar!
Stumbled on an account, called BLEEP my dad says;
And that celebrity blogger named Perez.
140 characters to make an impression,
Then my screen froze, so I tried to refresh it.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear;
But a funny looking whale, that filled me with fear.
I waited and waited, for a chance to tweet;
There was no way I’d accept defeat!
Back to the stream, back to the feed-
Reading all this info, with a hungry need!
Got advice from Guy, Brogan and Gary;
Decided not to listen, and spammed in a hurry!
Kardasian, Mashable, Ashton, Demi,
Ellen, Oprah, Beiber, Britney!
Follow me now, follow me please,
Follow me Blake, don’t be a tease!
Have to tell you, how my day began,
What I ate, what I drank, when I went to the can!
Then I heard a noise, from out my lawn;
It was getting late, close to dawn.
So I looked out the window and snapped a pic;
Tweeted a photo, of what I thought was Saint Nick!
It was my neighbor, Lady Gaga, wearing a suit;
Of red meat steak cutlets, and black stiletto boots!
And I heard her exclaim, as she ran out of sight,
“Alejandro, Alejandro,” and to all a good-night!
Thanks to all for helping make this video! Stephen Clark is an amazing, friend and trailblazer in Social Media.
He is the evening Anchor in Detroit for WXYZ TV/ABC Channel 7 and creator of the #BackChannel. Stephen did all the editing and finishing of the Tweet Before Christmas project.
I had the honor of speaking at the Arbitron Conference/Jacobs Media Summit along with Stephen.  http://www.jacobsmedia.com/summit/default.asp
Stephen has initiated a novel audience interactive program – The Backchannel – using Twitter to communicate with his audience as he's putting together stories and during the newscasts themselves. The Backchannel is an innovative feedback loop that might just change television news.

Thanks again for your participation!
Jessica
