We need a designated "wait for text" person. |
|
Since a large number of us probably signed up to get the text about Obama's running mate, it occurs to me that in the moments after the text actually comes, we're all going to be scrambling to be the first person to post it here, creating a logjam and a lot of duplicates.
I think we ought to have some volunteers to "man the phone" so to speak during certain time periods and be the one designated to post when the text comes through. Anyone want to carve out a block for themselves?
And PLEASE, everyone who is NOT the designated person at the time it comes through, just revel in your knowing a minute or so before the rest of DU, don't create a dupe.
So, shall we coordinate this?

1. You might want more than one person |
|
What if it comes out while the designated person is nowhere near a computer?

2. That's why I said carve up the clock between volunteers. |
|
Volunteers would pick times when they know they'll be near their phone and a computer, and sign up for those times. With luck, we'll have enough of us that we can cover the entire likely period between now and when it actually comes.

3. I can Honestly say, I will not be one of them, I don't text |
|
but I will be eagerly waiting all those who get the info bear in mind all the news networks will have the text set up to. So I am thinking it will be instantaneous when the info hits. The entire information super highway may explode.

I didn't sign up because I knew DU would be all over this.

I have a feeling the internets, the phone, and email will be moving quickly at that time.
