Enough About Jeremy Wo - There's a New Newsviner To Study And/Or Emulate: Amanda Lyon

News Type: Other — Sun Jan 27, 2008 10:05 AM EST

OK i helped start all the stories about Jeremy Wo so I think I'm allowed to suggest we've had enough articles about him (which is not to say the continuing story about him - which has, thanks to OK all the links to prior stories - needs to stop.)

But we have a brand new Newsviner who has done something even more amazing. She has writen zero seeds and one article and that one article was posted at MSNBC, something she didn't know about until I told her here.

I have seen some Newsviners - and no I'm not just looking in a mirror - who have as a goal right now to write stuff so good that it gets picked up my MSNBC.

Using that logic, that an MSNBC link is a homerun, that would mean that this lady is at 100 percent.

No pressure on that second article.

Come read her first article. It's quite good. She seems as mystifed as me on how she did it but, unlike Jeremy Wo, she answers back.

Maybe this means there's hope for us all, as writers here - maybe we don't need to clip to Entertainment Gateway or respond to Calvin's questions - you just write what you're passionate about and you might get lucky?

Congratulations, Amanda

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

One stupid question...where is she ? I did a search for her and she does not show up.

Never mind, found her, she does not show up under "User search" just "article search"

Oh sorry, that's what I get for trying to finish a story before heading off to lead a group of pirates at my church (well, kindergarten pirates who say incredibly cute things one of which I'll share if there's interest.)

Ok Amanda is here and her story is here.

I agree. That was an excellent article. It helps that I like the Foo Fighters just as much as she does. Well, I take that back; she actually bought tickets and went to the show.

I saw that you and I are the only ones who've written compliments for her so far.
Yeah the Foo Fighters are a great band.
