A Quick Twitpic Experiment
By Jim MacMillan
John King in Philadelphia
It was sheer coincidence that brought me and two esteemed journalism colleagues into the Midtown restaurant in Center City Philly for lunch yesterday, and suddenly into the presence of a five-person CNN crew, apparently wrapping up after an interview session.
I don’t know John King and have no particular interest in the princes of media, but I thought some of my Twitter followers might be interested, so I grabbed this Twitpic and tweeted the link: CNN John King is at the Midtown in Center City Philly right now
After about an hour, there were only 75 views, so I sent another Tweet, linked to the same photo: I just posted a photo of a coffee cup and a pepper shaker
Again, the photo was viewed 75 about times in the next hour. Conclude what you will.

The person putting on his coat is CNN producer Josh Rubin.

I conclude nobody cares about John King. Or in the alternative, I might also conclude that Jim McMillan wouldn’t twitpic a coffee cup and pepper shaker unless there was something cryptically important or at least different about the latter.
