TurkeyTwitter was a lot of fun and was a smashing success in my mind (as of 9:26p EST we have 69,506 tweets tracked). Thanks to everyone who participated, tweeted, and blogged about it. I especially want to thank Gary Petro and Chad Weinman for helping me see this idea through. I’m already thinking of ways to make this applicable in different ways.

Anyway, it was a fun couple of days and I thought I’d do my best to capture some of the links, reports and other press we go from it. If you have more, please put it in the comments or email it to me (jpp AT currentblend DOT com).

Dan Schawbel thinks we just want press from Techcrunch. I respond.

Washington Post and Business Insider republish the Techcrunch article to give baby his first WaPo story.

The Christian Science Monitor interviewed me where I had this to say about eating and tweeting.

“I hadn’t really considered people eating and tweeting – I hope they don’t. Maybe we [should] schedule time to tweet thanks before or after the meal,” he said.

MediaBistro is surprised to find that a former auditor can think of something like this, creating my favorite line of all this.

(Other interesting note: The site was thrown together by a Denver-based IT internal auditor, an Ohio-based IT audit and security consultant, and a third guy who, if our Web sleuthing did us right, is a Chicago-based Web specialist at the Society of Actuaries. Criminey, who knew auditors and actuaries could be so fun?)

Vator News interviewed me as well and offered a spot on critique of the site. There’s even a CurrentBlend plug in there. And, maybe even future plans…

I asked him if he had plans for future holiday-Twitter-themed sites, in which he responded, “We’ve talked about a couple other instances where this could be fun to do, but have no definite plans right now, but having said that, stay tuned.”

Web Pro News chimes in and says if someone made a Thanksgiving Twitter site, they’re talking about it on Thanksgiving. Case Closed.

Yahoo News Wire gets this (from CS Monitor) too.

ABC out of Toledo, Ohio (the news station I grew up watching) covered TurkeyTwitter as well.
