Top 10 Reasons Twitter is On Top of the Social Media Food Chain
Posted on April 26th 2011
It's been a long time since David Letterman called twitter "crap" on August 25, 2009. That night Dave also said, "Mark my words …when they write about this thousands and thousands and thousands of years from now, twitter will be the indicator that it was the beginning of the end of civilization." Sixteen months later there are still twitter skeptics, but at least now you can discuss it in polite society without being ridiculed.
If you find yourself among people who do not fully appreciate Twitter's importance in the communications paradigm shift in which we find ourselves, here are ten facts you can present to help them in their twitter appreciation.
- It's free The barrier to entry is very low. All you need is a cell phone that can send and receive text messages.
- It's basic Twitter uses the lowest common denominator for all languages – Internet protocol. It doesn't get any more basic than ones and zeros.
- Its reach There are 6 billion people on Earth and 4 billion of them have twitter ready devices. Many remote places in the world that were never hardwired for electricity -- let alone plain old telephones -- now have cell phone coverage. You can even talk and exchange text messages with my friend Woody Collins during his philanthropic trips to the Congo.
- It's open source Twitter makes its source code available to geeks all over the world who develop apps that customize your twitter experience. With well over 70,000 apps it's safe to say there are thousands of geeks who have a vested interest in twitter's continued success.
- It's brief Roger Courville of 1080 Group in Oregon shared this graph giving a visual representation of the incredible shrinking soundbite from 1968 - 1996. It's best to communicate a complete brand message in less than 8 seconds if you want that message to spread.
- It's not WHAT you know… Through advanced twitter search it's easy to find and connect with people who may help raise your brand's awareness. Twitter is the easiest way to connect with influencers including politicians, celebrities, and captains of industry.
- Its diversity Several studies have shown that – when given a problem to solve -- a diverse group of non-experts arrive at better solutions than a group of experts. In his presentation A Logic of Diversity, Scott E Page concludes, "Most of the time the diverse group outperforms the group of the best by a substantial margin."
- It's an Uber social media platform Every tweeter belongs to at least one other social media platform. This is based on anecdotal evidence, but I know of NO tweeter who does not participate in at least one other social media platform and yet I know LOTS of facebookers who only do facebook.
- It's real time News, ideas, brand stories and rumors spread at the speed of light on twitter. When you combine that with its Uber status, information and mis-information that spreads on twitter will trickle down to virtually all other social media platforms.
- It's the world's largest bridging social capital group in the recorded history of our species Think of twitter as a round the clock networking event where ANYONE with a device and a connection can virtually mingle with the likes of Bill Gates, Lady Gaga or Roger Ebert.
Only time will tell if David Letterman's prediction about twitter is accurate. At least now if you run into a twitter nay-sayer you have ten facts to enlighten them on the important role it plays in social media today. Once they are convinced here's a twitter cheat sheet to help them continue on their journey.

Nice post John,
I loved the Letterman intro.
Business people here in New Zealand are beginning to lose some of their skepticism about social media. They know they should be using it but they really don't know why or how.
And Twitter is a hard one for most to get their heads around.
Once they are using the platform correctly though they are almost always surprised by how powerful for branding and for sales Twitter can be.
Thanks for the post.
Have to agree with this comment as well. Some of these points are extremely loose - such as stating that there are 4 billlion people with twitter ready devices. This doesn't indicate they will actually use the service.
Facebook is the only property who can make the claim of being the top of the SM food chain.
By loose statement I mean that just because there are so many devices, doesn't imply future or intended usage.
There are approximately 200 million users already using Facebook via their mobile devices. Plus, these users are more active than PC/Laptop users. This segment of FB users alone provide greater reach than all of twitter users.
If you want to measure reach between the two platforms, FB is the clear winner: 36% of the inks shared via Facebook are clicked while only 8% of the links shared via twitter are clicked.
If you're not concerned with actual clicks & just want total amount of content shared, then consider that FB accounts for 45% of the content shared while twitter is only 12%.
As for those users still using feature phone, there are SIM card solutions that do provide a way for them to connect - and FB worked w/the providers on these solutions.
The impression I'm getting from the post is the relative ease of twitter and the ability to develop a network in relatively short order compared to other Social Media.
To me it's not a matter of better or worse, it's a matter of what works best for you. For me, it's twitter.
I love Twitter -- it's by far my favorite social network. When done right, it's a gem.
However, while Twitter claims to have 200 million users, when you dig into the data, it's more along the lines of around 80 million or so active users (non-spam, non-duplicate, those who actually use it). Furthermore, the majority of the 80 million users are either brands or marketers/PR/journalists. You and I are talking to each other. We aren't talking to our customers. Finally, most of the content shared via Twitter is self-promoting and non-actionable.
The problem we have with Twitter is, us as active marketing and communications professionals, are using it on a daily basis and we assume everyone else is. We also take the few brands finding success and blanket their success across the entire platform. Very few brands can actually say they are finding true success on Twitter.
Again, I love Twitter. It's great. But I'm not sure if it'll be around 5 years from now. Facebook and more likely another "cool" tool will be. I'd put Twitter toward the bottom of the "food chain" myself.
Kmskala, I agree that these were the general reasons as to why twitter was popular - but i'd love to hear your take on this topic or perhaps a blog post if possible?
I'd have to say it's a tough call with Facebook having more than 500 million members in saying Twitter is on top. What I will say about Twitter that puts it ahead of everything else is that its immediacy has shown that people can get information from it faster than from traditional news sources when stories break. We all knew about the earthquake in Haiti before it hit the news, and we always know about plane crashes and the like before we hear it on the news as well.
Still, I'm thinking top of the food chain might be a bit premature, but it's definitely proven its worth.
2 important clarifcations:
1. Twitter is built using open source code, and heavily contributes to open source, but is NOT open source itself.
2. Twitter as a platform cannot be accessed by non-web enabled phones. Sure they can send and receive text messages, but they cannot create an account or follow people. This requires access to the web.
It's also worth pointing out that most of your points are not exclusive to Twitter, and that Twitter, unlike certain other social networks, still is not mainstream, and as such not representative of populations as a whole. Until that happens Twitter cannot be top of the food chain.
I was initially apprehensive to get involved with twitter. I've heard too many horror stories of account hacks on Facebook and didn't want to take the risk.
As for twitter, I was confused as to what it was about and wanted to know what the "hook" was. I read a few books and realized that it is truly an open social media network.
The proof of wisdom is in the results. I found twitter to be the easiest and fastest way to connect with others having similar and diverse interests. It's been a great experience for me so far.
As for the platform itself, it is still evolving - perhaps faster now than ever. I enjoyed your post!
Interesting post, Amy. The relative importance of various social media is definitely a topic many people are discussing and it's great to read all the comments/opinions.
I especially liked your point that all Twitter users seem to be on at least one other social media platform. In a research paper, I recently ranked Twitter and Facebook equally on their influence in certain industries. Twitter ranked so highly primarily due to its viral potential on and offline. This study from Exact Target (http://nmlab.com/social-media/twitter-users-are-three-times-more-likely-to-impact-brands-on-the-web/) said that Twitter users "are clearly the most influential online. What happens on Twitter doesn't stay on Twitter. While the number of active Twitter users is less than Facebook or email, the concentration of highly engaged and influential content creators is unrivaled–it's become the gathering place for content creators whose influence spills over into every other corner of the internet."
KMSkala - I disagree that it's only Marketing people and journalists are on Twitter. The mass followings of celebrities and the Twitter popularity of shows like @GLEEonFOX clearly dispute that claim. Within specific industries, many specialists are following on Twitter. Twitter disseminates information - something thought leaders constantly seek.
It doesn't matter how many mobile phone owners there are if they're not following you or if they're not in your target audience. Even if they are, Twitter may be useful as a communication medium, but then again, with so much clutter, most of your messages will be missed -- unless of course they only follow about 10 people. Or if your messages are being woven into some more readable format like Print.li, and they're choosing to read that.
I think it works better as a research tool for keeping up on the latest in social media.

Or if your messages are being woven into some more readable format like Print.li, and they're choosing to read that.
And I think it works better as a research tool for keeping up on the latest in social media, rather than as a social network. It's actually a microblog.
Aside from Twitter being a way to connect with my audience, my favorite reason for using it is to learn new stuff! I found this post thanks to a post on Twitter. Now how cool is that? I love that I get to uncover a new fact or see something from a new perspective each day. Twitter is cool!
I agree that Twitter provides better communication with the world - much better than Facebook. Like Twitter, numbers mean zilch. Just because you have 3,000 friends on Facebook and there are 600 million Facebook users doesn't mean you have a very strong following. How many of those users are actually active and checking their account regularly? Not many actually. It's all in the quality of those people. Studies have shown that users connect a lot better with brands on Twitter than they do on Facebook.
Also, ask anyone that is on Facebook, they're only connected with their friends, family, classmates and colleagues. WIth that reach (although a good one), you have to know that person or have them recommended to you to be able to connect with them. Closed-wall systems don't work. Just ask the New York Times.
As a Social Media Strategist and public speaker, I recommend to a lot of my clients to embrace Twitter rather than to shun it. It's really simple to use and offers a broader (and better) reach. They may not have the numbers that Facebook does, but that doesn't matter. Think about it, when did you hear of a news story being broken on Facebook. Hardly. On Twitter, I can name quite a few. Twitter offers much better reach others, people you don't necessarily know, but liked what you had to say. Social Networking is about being open and Twitter, a very open system, allows for the dissemination of that information readily.

Tony Bennett just scored his first #1 album with Duets II, and now the legend is ready to drop another video from the collabo project.
On Monday, his video for "The Lady Is a Tramp" — with a blue-haired Lady Gaga by his side — will hit the Web. On the track, Gaga gets a little feisty with the 85-year-old. "I hate California, it's crowded and damp," the New York-native Gaga sings, before Bennett chimes in giggling, "That's why the lady is a tramp."
"My favorite is that Lady Gaga," Bennett gushed to MTV News at the Video Music Awards, where Gaga spent the night in character as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone . "She's the biggest. I'll tell you, I never met anyone with more talent than that lady."
Earlier this month, Bennett's "Body and Soul" video with the late Amy Winehouse debuted. The duo were filmed recording the song together, and the Gaga video will most likely follow suit. Other Duets II collaborations include John Mayer, Carrie Underwood and Mariah Carey, among others.
Riding high on his new wave of success — including first-week sales of 179,000 copies — Bennett said his career has always been incredibly cyclical. "I'm 85; I just want to tell you, it's a very strange situation," he said. "I always worked live, and ever since 1950, wherever I've played internationally I've been sold out all these years. It's amazing. So the public's been on my side all the time."
What are you expecting from Gaga and Bennett's video? Let us know in the comments!

For more than two decades, American Mattress has promoted peaceful slumber in bedchambers throughout the Midwest with their vast selection of mattresses, headboards, and linens. The sleep experts strive to stay abreast of the latest bedding technology: their Serta mattresses are made with gel foam that supports curves, and Tempur-Pedic mattresses repel allergens, mites, and poltergeists looking to spoon. This devotion to a good night's sleep has helped them earn the title of Best Mattress Store from suburban Chicago's Daily Herald five years in a row. Additionally, American Mattress doubles down on each of its beds with a 30-day comfort guarantee and a 60-day best-price guarantee.
It's hard to stand inside a Godby Home Furnishings showroom. Comfy couches, chairs, and beds wait around every turn inside the store. Each visit showcases furnishings for several areas of the home, including living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. A look at the item tags in any of these sections reads like a who's who of the home furnishing world?names like Flexsteel , La-Z-Boy, Serta, and Tempurpedic among many more. The Carmel location is open despite the closure of US 31.
The Godby family has curated these fine furnishings since 1974, when Jim Godby founded the first location. After coming aboard in 1992, Jim's son Jeff oversaw the company's expansion into a modern day furniture empire that rivals the ionic column emporiums of Rome. At the center of it all lies the Godby Home Furnishings 75,000 sq. ft. warehouse, which stocks all the furniture on display in each showroom. In total, about eight million dollars of inventory fills the warehouse?but sometimes that's not even enough. In those cases, Godby's team happily places a custom order for their customers.
An affordable and monumental selection of plush beds, sturdy end tables, and stylish home accessories mingle in each Ashley Furniture HomeStore warehouse. The stores' mattress and box-spring sets provide proper hiding places for bank heist loot and include choices from name brands such as Ashley Sleep and Simmons. The Augusta Memory Foam set cushions weary bodies with eight inches of contour-hugging support and thwarts nightmare sweat with a ventilated top layer (queen for $799). Meanwhile, the Simmons Sleeper's Choice line globetrots from the Calgary Plush (queen for $579.99) to the Danville Euro Top (full for $439.99) mattress and box-spring pairings, softening even the roughest of landings.
Since offering its first batch of all edible, no-filler bird feed named Old Bob White back in 1975, Old Bob's has transformed into an eclectic shop for all things outdoors, as well as home decor and furnishings. The wide-ranging inventory includes self-manufactured cottages and storage buildings that resemble old-time cabins. Wild bird supplies, which include woodpecker feeders, entice avian near and far to swoop into customers' yards for a quick snack, filling outdoor spaces with lively chirps and dissuading the giant worm next door from digging into your yard. Not just for birds, the shop's outdoor items also include bat houses, basketball goals, and a large collection of in-stock and special order wallpapers.
Since equipping the world with its first wood-slat recliner in 1928, La-Z-Boy has branded itself as a well-known producer of high-quality furniture, including their signature recliner, loveseats, ottomans, upholstered sofas, accent tables, and much more. The Urbana oval end table ($249 and up) is genetically engineered to keep junk mail off the ground and blocks the couch's attempts to stretch out into the hall. A host of recliners, sofas, sectionals, the demi stationary chair and sleepers are also waiting to invade homes with their tasteful presence.
Founded in 1977, Westfield Lighting illuminates residential and commercial spaces with a diverse collection of lighting products. The company's trained staff acts as a bridge between clients and stylistic visions, helping hunt down the perfect chandelier, floor lamp, or outdoor sconce from within Westfield's spacious showroom. Beyond lighting, the store's showroom facilitates further decor updates with furniture, home accessories, and an art gallery featuring the works of emerging local artists.

AIDS Walk Wisconsin raises $500,000
BY Advocate.com Editors
September 30 2003 11:00 PM ET
About 3,500 walkers raised more than $500,000 at the 14th annual AIDS Walk Wisconsin on Sunday for groups that provide HIV education, health, and social services throughout the state. The money raised was about $20,000 less than what was brought in last year. Officials at the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin, which sponsored and benefits from the event, say the economy, cold weather on Sunday, and complacency about AIDS led to the fall-off in donations. "Because people are living longer, people assume that there's a cure or a vaccine, and that is not the case," Kate Venne, a spokeswoman for the foundation, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "We have a record number of people living with the disease, and it was up 16% in Wisconsin last year."

Previous Post Next PostI made a nice discovery while drawing up that DRTYDRDZ post last night. Turns out it was for a tribute release to Grant Green as part of the Jazz Jousters, a subset of Millenium Jazz which is a dope Hip-Hop/Jazz hybrid collective. We posted a lil about Millenium Jazz before, but not much, and this is their latest offering: a tribute to Miles Davis (for those that are interested DRTYDRDZ features again). Download after the jump – and there are LOADS on their Bandcamp which you can go cop for free.
P.S. Anyone know the track used for Blue Buttonz – Blue In Green with Blue? Please drop in the comments if you do.

Vera Brittain holds a small but secure place in the 20th-century history of English letters. Her memoir Testament of Youth (1933) tells of the costs of war and the imperative of peace-making.
"Why is freedom of expression deemed more important than Jewish lives?" asked Melanie Phillips in The Times this week. Her argument was that Western commentators were failing to report the virulent antisemitism at the heart of the Islamist terrorists' campaign of violence.
The Holocaust is slipping beyond memory. Antisemites who deny the greatest crime of the age are preparing for when the victims are no longer around to answer them. Holocaust deniers call themselves "historical revisionists", as if their work had anything to do with scholarship. Their cause was notoriously adopted by President Ahmadinejad of Iran.
'In all the years I have been a Conservative Friend of Israel," wrote Alastair Burt, the former Foreign Office minister, in the JC last week, "I have never known such a hesitation over actions of an Israeli government."
He was alluding to the strength of parliamentary feeling in the symbolic vote of MPs to recognise an independent Palestine. And it's a fair point.
By Vasily Grossman MacLeHose Press, £8.99
Vasily Grossman, the Soviet Jewish writer, has steadily acquired a deserved reputation among English-speaking readers. He was born in 1905 and showed great promise as a writer of fiction. During the Second World War, he turned his talent for prose to journalism, and filed despatches of historic significance for the Soviet newspaper Red Star.
The disturbing recrudescence of antisemitism in Europe is not only connected with Gaza and the tragic Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Last year, I interviewed on stage Anne Applebaum, the historian, about her book, Iron Curtain. It's a magnificent account of the postwar subjugation of Eastern Europe by Soviet communism, an ideology in which antisemitism played a role.
Norman Finkelstein, the American far-left activist, was interviewed a couple of months ago on Al-Jazeera's Head to Head. I was one of the pundits cross-examining him. We didn't get on. I criticised the quality of his historiography and he compared me to the dust beneath his feet.
Europe's populist Right has had a makeover. It typically now disclaims antisemitism and expresses sympathies with Israel. It seeks the support of Jewish voters on the strength of its opposition to militant Islamism.
Stefan Zweig, one of the most popular authors of his time, killed himself in February 1942, at the age of 60. He took poison. So did his wife, Lotte.
They were in exile in the Brazilian town of Petropolis. Zweig's neatly handwritten suicide note is stored at the National Library of Israel. It's a poignant reflection on his years of wandering since leaving Austria in 1934.
If you wanted expert commentary on the politics of the Middle East, would you turn to Nick Griffin? You wouldn't? That makes you different from a television channel that you may not have seen, but that has millions of viewers in the UK alone and has clocked up more than a billion views online.
It's RT, founded in 2005 and known till 2009 as Russia Today.
In a parliamentary debate last week, Yasmin Qureshi, a Labour MP, compared the position of Palestinians in Gaza to the plight of Jews in the Holocaust. It was "quite strange", she said, that the Israeli government was "complacent and happy" for Palestinians to be treated like "Jews who suffered genocide".
A child born today will grow up with absolutely no conception of privacy at all," said Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, in his "Alternative Christmas Message" on Channel 4.
HERZL: THEODOR HERZL AND THE FOUNDATION OF THE JEWISH STATE By Shlomo Avineri Weidenfeld & Nicolson, £20 REVIEWED BY OLIVER KAMM
To the devoutly irreligious like me, the word "miracle" does not come easily. Yet two developments since 1945 might reasonably be described that way.
Antisemitism is an evil, not a writerly idiosyncrasy. That's a mere truism. It needs to be stated, however, because the Catholic Church is examining the case for canonising G K Chesterton, author of the Father Brown detective stories.

Kit's Wilderness
by David Almond
"It was very deep, Kit. Very dark. And every one of us was scared of it. As a lad I'd wake up trembling, knowing that as a Watson born in Stoneygate I'd soon be following my ancestors into the pit," so Kit's grandfather tells him. The Watson family moves to Stoneygate, an old coal-mining town, to care for Kit's recently widowed grandfather. When Kit meets John Askew, another boy whose family had both worked and died in the mines, Askew invites Kit to join him to play a game called Death. As Kit's grandfather provides stories of the mine's past and the history of the Watson family, the boys search the mines to find the childhood ghosts of their long-gone ancestors. Written in haunting prose and lyrical language, "Kit's Wilderness" explores the bonds of family from one generation to the next, and how from the depths of darkness, meaning and beauty can be revealed.

Television production studio executives long have been wary of Hulu and other forms of Internet distribution, fearing they would lead to increased piracy and destroy lucrative secondary markets, including syndication and DVD sales. But video streaming services offered by Netflix, Hulu and Amazon are becoming an unexpected boon to the TV syndication market.
By writing checks to license library content from networks, the Internet services are injecting new revenue into the TV business and breathing new life into middling shows. "The introduction of the subscription video-on-demand platform has broadened the opportunities for exploitation of product in a very positive way for consumers and studios," said Ken Werner, president of Warner Bros. domestic television distribution. "You do not need to accumulate 100 episodes of a series because 40 hours of programming is a lot, so many of these shows work perfectly well on these new services." (Dec 31)

JP Morgan Says Buy the Dip in Facebook, Maintains Overweight Rating Amid ~6% Drop
JP Morgan's Doug Anmuth is telling investors to use weakness in shares of Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) as a buying opportunity Thursday morning.
Facebook shares are down nearly 6 percent at last check following Q4 results on Wednesday afternoon.
Anmuth said investors are likely reacting to somewhat soft mobile ad sales during the quarter and concerns related to expenses which will rise sharply this year.
Anmuth remains bullish on Facebook shares as the company is still in the early stages of a transition toward an ad platform which will better target social and mobile ads. The analyst maintains an Overweight rating and $35 price target on shares of Facebook.

Interview DetailsI applied online, got a call that night for an interview. I didn't pick up so I called back the next morning and scheduled an interview for the next day. Went to the interview, the manager was super nice and very laid back. No hard questions at all. I got asked a couple behaviour questions, like what would I do if someone spilt coffee on themselves. She then explained the job and the company. Hired me on the spot. Went in the next day to do a sign up and then orientation was the day after.

Interview DetailsI applied online, got a call for job interview at the same day. The interview was appointed the next day p.m. The length of interview didn't last more than 10 minutes. The assistant manager didn't even have a look at my resume. I guess they are really in short of people. No hard questions, very simple and casual talk. The manager was nice to me. First, he explained the hours and wages and asked if I was ok with it. And he asked why I chose to work for Tim's, and if I would be able to work under pressure. Another question is how long can I work in Tim's. I speak frank to him that I don't have experience of customer service, which is, however, valued for my future work plan. I told him I wanted to gain such experience at Timmy's. Then he asked my work flexibility. After I said I lived in walking distance from the restaurant, he seemed to be pleased. At the end of interview, I was told to be reached soon. Later in the evening, he called and offered me the job which would start in two days.

The owner asked my name and told me that she had two other interviews to do before me, I'd arrived early, but not THAT early!

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Tim Hortons in September 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied at snagajob.com and last Thursday I was then called, and I was invited in for an interview on Saturday the 27th. However I received word from a different job i applied to, and I was hired. I then called Tim Hortons to explain the situation, and to cancel my interview. When I called on the 25th, I was rudely told that I had missed my interview, and that he was not interested in talking to me. I proceeded to tell him that my interview was scheduled for the 27th, and that I had not in fact, "missed it". Then I told him that I had been hired somewhere else, and he said "Good, goodbye". I am quite glad that I was not hired by someone who has such a lack of common courtesy. I had received no e-mail confirmation of the interview, and the whole process was very unprofessional. I would advise anyone who is considering applying for a job here, to go to Dunkin Donuts.

On arrival, location was busy but the manager was kind and offered me a drink while politely asking i wait a few minutes so he could get ready.
The actual interview seemed a little unprofessional, could not fully understand what the manager was saying mostly due to the loud amount of noise inside. After some basic questions i was thanked, said i would be called by the district manager for a second interview and he left.Interview Questions- Why do you want to work for Tim Horton's?

Interview DetailsApplied through corporate website. Had a phone interview which was 20 minutes. Going over past experience and education related to the job. Talked about roles and responsibilities etc. Invited for an in person interview which lasted 30 minutes. Kind of intimidating, interviewed by 4 people. Asked about 20 questions, maybe more. Some i could remember:
-How to handle someone youre training who doesn't understand or speak too much English?
-goes over resume, education, discuss experience
-going above and beyond for your workplace/colleague
-something unethical taking place at your workplace, how you handled it
-how to handle an irate customer
-something you wish you did differently after dealing with a customer
-what skills are important for this position, which is the most important
-how long do you see yourself with the company
-altercation with a colleague at work, how you handled it
-you hear feedback from your manager, how did you handle it
-if you had a lot of assigned tasks how would u manage, in order to finish on time? What if you had tasks left but couldn't finish?
-a time where you had to focus on work only and things kept popping upInterview Questions- Some questions were strictly about your previous experience similar to the operations representative position.

text: Is all-natural the latest trend? The use of green products is on the rise. Aug 01, 2008 By dvm360.com staff FIRSTLINE Client questions Maybe. Even though consuming consciously is trendy in other industries, in veterinary practices the answer to whether there's a widespread demand for green products depends on who you ask. "Not too many clients ask about eco-friendly, natural, or organic products," says Karen Sabatini, a Firstline Editorial Advisory Board member and a receptionist at Ardmore Animal Hospital in Ardmore, Pa. "And the number of clients who do ask has been consistent over the years." Client interest On the other hand, Gina Toman, a Firstline board member and a veterinary assistant with Seaside Animal Care in Calabash, N.C., says she's seeing much more interest at her practice. "There's been a big shift in our practice toward organic and green products since the pet food recall, although most client requests are for natural and organic food recommendations," she says.

With a few technical corrections required, the draft was sent back for modifications and was likely to be submitted in its final shape in less than 15 days.
Work on the Valiathura fishing harbour project is seeing some progress with L&T Ramboll, the agency contracted to do the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) expected to submit the final report in two weeks. Official sources said the firm had presented its draft report earlier this month before the Harbour Engineering Department. With a few technical corrections required, the draft was sent back for modifications and was likely to be submitted in its final shape in less than 15 days.
Once the EIA was submitted, the same would be forwarded to the State government for final environment clearance. The project, being for a harbour with a less than 10,000-tonne fish catch capacity, would require only State clearance and not Central clearance on environmental matters, officials said.
The Centre had agreed to fund 75 per cent of the cost of the project, for which a revised project report would be submitted shortly. Administrative sanction from the State government was expected before December this year. The original project report had pegged the cost at Rs.64 crore, but the same now had escalated to above Rs.80 crore, officials said, adding that once the administrative sanction came from the State, work would begin on the project, most probably before March 2014.
"The procedural bottlenecks have been sorted out and since the final EIA is expected in two weeks, we will be pushing for the State's administrative sanction before December. Plans are to commence work before the end of this financial year," Health Minister V.S. Sivakumar, who is the in-charge Minister for the district and a campaigner for the project, said.
The Valiathura fishing harbour was hanging in the balance. The impediment was the delay in getting land from the Ports Department. That issue, sources said, had been resolved.
The detailed project report, officials added, had incorporated protective measures including installation of T-groynes to prevent shore erosion, of which fears were raised from different quarters.
Keywords: Valiathura harbour project, Environmental Impact Assessment, L&T Ramboll, Health Minister V.S. Sivakumar

KITCHENER — In the often serious world of classical music, a conversation with acclaimed violinist Vadim Gluzman is a guaranteed belly laugh. The guy is funny not to mention self-deprecating and he really doesn't take his international fame too seriously. There is no ego here, only years of dedication to the music and a desire to bring that music to all audiences, whether classical music aficionados or neophytes.
In a phone interview from his home in Chicago, Gluzman is relaxed and engaging and when asked about one reviewer's reference to him channeling his past as a gypsy he lets out a chortle and exclaims "I'm as Jewish as they come." Perhaps the gypsy reference was to his constant changing of addresses.
Gluzman, who performs Musical Fireworks Jan 13 and 14 with the Kitchener Waterloo Symphony, was born in Ukraine then moved to Israel in 1990, on to Latvia and then Siberia. Gluzman points out, he was studying music in Siberia and was not incarcerated in one of the infamous Siberian prisons. What a kidder.
Gluzman later lived in several American cities including New York where he attended the prestigious Julliard School and learned rather unceremoniously that he wasn't destined to be a composer.
The students were challenged to compose a piece of music and then conduct their fellow students in the playing of the composition. Unfortunately the brass players were less than enamoured with his efforts.
"They couldn't put their mouthpieces to their mouths, they were laughing so hard," he recalled. "I am utterly untalented."
So much for Gluzman's composing efforts but that was OK, he knew from an early age his destiny would be playing violin though even that future was nearly denied him.
Growing up in the Soviet Union, the son of professional musicians and music teachers, Gluzman said life was difficult. "They barely made enough to put food on the table."
So when he asked to learn to play, his parents refused. "They didn't want me to be a musician," he said. "They knew what it would take." It was particularly confusing, considering his parents were teaching other people's children. "I asked 'why not me?' "
Eventually, Gluzman wore them down and at age seven, he lifted his first violin to his shoulder under his parents' tutelage. When asked at which point his talent was recognized, Gluzman said matter-of-factly "a gift is obvious from the get go. I had perfect pitch and a great memory." Yet even imbued with such talent, he would face years hard work, study and constant practice before he reached the level he now enjoys as a musician who inspires audiences to standing ovations and enthusiastic applause.
Of these reactions and the subsequent critical praise, he is circumspect. "I do not have an objective opinion of how I play," he said.
Gluzman leaves the judging of his talents to the critics. He's much more interested in what the audience thinks and how he can impart his love of music to his students.
"I have a huge class of two students," he said, tongue in cheek. "These two poor souls, they are suffering."
The poor souls, as he calls them, must fit lessons around his busy international performance schedule which means they might go a few weeks without face to face lessons, or perhaps three lessons in a week and he expects them to work hard, regardless of their schedule. Hence the suffering.
For Gluzman, teaching young people has a richness that takes his music to a different level, using his students as the receptacles.
"As an artist, I've learned so much that I need to share," he said. "This is something I can't express to an audience."
Gluzman's performance in Kitchener, however, will be fully focused on the audience and the music, Brahms' Violin Concerto in D, is one close to his heart.
He first heard the piece as a child, from his father's music collection and despite his age, the concerto anchored itself in his memory.
"I was very, very young the first time I heard it and it had a huge impression on me," he said, adding that such undisputed masterpieces have emotional impacts regardless of whether you hear it for the first time or the 100th.
Brahms Concerto was the only violin concerto written by the composer who had dedicated it to his friend the great violinist Joseph Joachim.
As Brahms worked on the musical score, he'd send it to Joachim who would make notes and return the scores to Brahms who in turn would add or delete. Back and forth it went.
Joachim subsequently premiered the work on Jan. 1, 1879 in Leipzig, conducted by Brahms but sadly, it was not a big hit. Joachim made it his mission to keep the work in the public realm and it has since become a favourite.
An additional treat will be hearing Gluzman perform the concerto on a 1690 ex-Leopold Auer Stradivari, on long term loan from a benefactor through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
What makes the violin so special, aside from its age and provenance?
"It sounds good," he said simply. "I don't have it, I play it. It has me as a custodian. It's a truly great instrument."
The evening's performance, under the direction of Edwin Outwater, will also feature Prokofiev's 5th Symphony and José Evangelista's Symphonie Minute.
