We’re live with State of the State

In addition to featuring the live video stream, we’re trying something different at kpcc.org by streaming Twitter feeds with the hashtag cagov and cabudget about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s State of the State speech. Mike Roe, our Web producer, is live at @kpcc. Our environment reporter, Molly Peterson, is @kpccmolly.

The newsroom is abuzz.

Anybody else out there try something like this? If so, how’d it work?

It radiates goodwill. It may get drunk with the power of the Pacific, but it is not a mean drunk. It may wrestle you to the ground and thump your chest, but the next moment it will be helping you up, grinning with irrepressible cheer, buying you a drink. With salt on the rim.
