The Birmingham Twitterati is all abuzz with word that NBC 13 has joined the world of Twitter.

It looks like it’s part of a larger plan to have all NBC affiliates on the service.
They are not the first service online – that honor goes to The Birmingham News, who we believe has been using the service since last November.
Don’t forget you can follow us too – @bhamterminal.

We wanted to take a moment to welcome all of our new followers on Twitter (BTW – want to follow us? It’s bhamterminal). We also wanted to make sure that you knew about a new site that allows all of us in Birmingham to keep track of each other using the popular service.

So, Birmingham’s hip to be civic group has decided to roll out a new logo…
It’s currently available for viewing as the photo for their profile on Facebook (registration required), but not yet for their website…
What do you think?

Some local Verizon Wireless customers have already noticed that they’ve got a couple of new features on their phone. The company announced recently that it would roll out its new Verizon Wireless VZ Navigator service in 75 cities, including Birmingham. It now provides another service for area residents to go along with Commuter Feed, which we wrote about back in February.
Drivers with access to the service will be able to view how traffic is flowing, and receive details about reported accidents, disabled vehicles and congestion along with suggestions for detours. The Gas Finder feature allows drivers to locate gas stations nearby and view gas prices at many area gas stations, providing turn-by-turn directions as needed… Now if the car could only drive itself it’d be perfect!

There have been several groups that have recently signed up with Twitter, tweeting to their heart’s content. The latest major addition to the network is our own Birmingham Public Library. If you visit http://twitter.com/bpl, you’ll be able to keep up with the latest happenings throughout the system. Twitter allows you to follow on your computer, you cell phone or in your existing instant messaging program.
Click here to learn more about signing up (courtesy of the folks at the library’s computer center) and don’t forget to follow a certain local hub as well.
FYI, they’re also on Flickr and YouTube if you’re interested…

One resident thinks that music and bumper stickers will help ease the Jefferson County sewer debt, though in a completely different way than Birmingham city councilor William Bell’s proposal or one suggested by Jefferson County Commission president Bettye Fine Collins. This proposal calls for visitors to jeffcocrap.com to purchase bumper stickers, t-shirts and similar items, with a portion of the proceeds going to cover the principal of the county’s mounting debt. You can also check out the Jefferson County Sewer Flush over on YouTube.
We still have a feeling that it would take a long time for the money to pile up.
