Hello Twitterers!
I'm Paula Schleis, a Beacon Journal business writer and your host of TwitterView. Throughout the summer, I'm scheduling some fun interactive stories about interesting businesses or people in fascinating occupations.
From your office or home computer, you'll be able to virtually ''hang out'' with us for an hour as we, perhaps, interview a comic book artist as he inks his next graphic novel or observe a chef as he handles the frenzy of a restaurant kitchen during the lunch rush.
Got a better idea? Tell me what kind of person or business you'd like to eavesdrop on at pschleis@thebeaconjournal.com.
Then watch this page to see where we're going next.
Part of the fun of Twitter is that you (the reader) can interact with us (the reporter) as the story unravels. To do that, you'll have to sign up for a Twitter account at http://www.twitter.com if you don't already have an account.
To read our live reporting at the event, log onto http://twitter.com/beaconview.
When the story is under way, you'll see short bursts of text about what is happening. Depending on how your Internet browser is configured, you might need to refresh the page occasionally to reveal the latest word. If you're content to just read the action, that's all you need to do.
• You can sign up for a Twitter account anytime. You can sign up at http://www.twitter.com.
• When you see our Twitter page, hit the ''Login'' button on the top right corner and sign in.
• After you sign in, you'll be returned to our Twitter page. Click on the ''Follow'' button under the picture. (You'll never need to do this step again.)
• If you want to send us a question or comment, place your cursor over any text block and it will reveal a small curved arrow on the right side. Click on the arrow, and a box will appear at the top of the page with the word ''@beaconview'' starting a sentence. Just type your message after that and hit reply. Note: If you are late joining us and want to read TwitterView from the beginning, you will need to scroll down to the bottom and read backwards, as the most recent text is always at the top.
