Citizen Journalista goes half dark
Dear Reader,
Jane Q from Citizen Journalista here. Thanks so much for reading this blog!
While I’m developing this blog in ways that can’t be explored live on the web, I won’t be adding new blog content for a while. New paid writing gigs and a boatload of clients (both good things!) mean I have to draw some lines in the sand regarding my time management, and something has to go.
However, you can still consider my Twitter feed in the left center column as an ongoing live news feed as I parse through local/regional news to find things of interest to Islanders. So stay tuned for that, and if you like, follow me at CitizenJBI to receive my tweets directly in your own Twitter client feed.
And please, send me your info if you find something of interest to Bainbridge Islanders that I could tweet about: cjbi@myway.com. It could be general news, calendar information, city hall oversight, or special interest features you think our community would be interested in. I can’t guarantee I’ll tweet about everything that comes my way, but I’ll certainly do the best that I can!
Thanks for your support. I will be back (eventually) in full uniform as Citizen Journalista; I appreciate your patience while I’m away.

Chamber hosts social networking luncheon Sept 16
The Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce is taking reservations for what should be a popular and informative event on the island, not only for local business people but for would-be citizen journalists, local artists and communications directors for nonprofit organizations. And maybe for the Chamber, itself.
“How to Make Social Networking Work for Your Business” covers basic information regarding the what and why of social networking. What can and should businesses do with Facebook, Twitter, blogging, social bookmarking, and the array of services available through Google and other service providers? Features island social networking guru Shannon Evans. Call 842-3700 to sign up. http://www.bainbridgechamber.com/
[Editorial comment: Interestingly, I find little action from multiple Google searches for more details than what's listed for this event on the chamber's landing page. Also, running a Twitter search, nada. Facebook page also not updated since the 4th. Lucky me, I happened to attend the Aug 28 BBC meeting at the Blue Ocean Cafe, so that's how I got the slim few details for this article. Hmmm. Kevin, Mickey and friends, I hope you take lots of notes!]
