NPR's Dan Schorr is considering making the jump from typewriter to Twitter. Host Scott Simon and NPR's social media guru, Andy Carvin, introduce him to the site. Even Rainn Wilson -- Dwight on The Office -- makes a guest appearance to extol the virtues of Twitter.

  • OMG - i got a 'thank you" from daniel schorr - AWESOMENESS!!!

  • Thanks NPR for keeping us current.

    As a spicy girl, my term for middle age, I work hard every Single Day to keep up with blogs, twitter, social media, Facebook.

    If we want to remain employable we must keep current with social media. We have to stay tech. savvy. Period.

    The question you asked "What are you passionate about?"was such a great way to help folks break down their fear.

    Five Stars!

    Congrats.

  • I was always inspired by Dan Shorr and his commentaries. I 'd woke up 6 oclock every Saturday morning just to listen to his analysis. Eventhough its tragic and he's irreplaceable, it is always good to know that there're postings like this to remind us of the legend we all love to listen to.

  • Twitter is the closest thing to global telepathy.

  • he was such a treasure. we are so lucky to be able to hear his recordings and see him in videos.

  • I love this ... what a mentor for today's news men and women.

  • Daniel Schorr's voice will be missed, and I mean "voice" in both senses of the word.

  • man scott is dressed up for his shift. I'm at my WE shift now and i'm wearing a t-shirt and jeans. That's the beauty of radio- you can look like crap, and nobody knows better!

  • I love it when Scott Simon gets all patronizing with Daniel Schorr.

    "You're an old. old man who could die at any second but I'm going to waste what may be your final seconds introducing you to new technology. Do you like technology Daniel? Do you like new technology? It's fun, isn't it?"

  • Twitter is for rapidly perishable information.

    That news which will be no longer valid by the time you get around to reading your email.

    Its blogging for blackberries.

  • I love NPR and Daniel Schorr is a legend and it is a privilege to be able to listen to his commentary and analysis on NPR. Keep up the great work! PS: I still miss BOB! oh well...

  • Finally now "tweeting" is popular, I've been doing it since the 70s and all it ever got me was a free pass to a mental institution.
