Get Che to read you the tweets over the phone. Maybe he can do different voices depending on who's tweeting.

No no, Chuck doing voices would be way funnier than getting people to read their own. Maybe Chuck could start doing dramatic readings of threads here too.
(Reminds me of back when a local radio station had a old lady come in and do Dramatic readings of pop songs. Mmmmm Bop was hilarious!)

We could put that podcast on a CASSETTE TAPE and Mike can listen to it. ;)

2012 R-Design S60 and XC60 with tune from Polestar. + 25 HP / + 29 lb-ft. torque is added to the North American S60 and XC60 R-Designs. With the S60 R-Design we bumped the T6 turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six to 325 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. Passion Red exclusive to R-Design. Unique sport seats, embossed leather w/contrast stitch, sport steering wheel, inlays, blue gauges, and more.

Wasn't an exclusive announcement since these details have been available already. Really was just a chance to discuss the press release from April with a product manager.
Some of us beat up on them decrying the lack of a manual transmission.

Mike, step it up. You can do it, we promise to hold your hand and walk you through it. Twitter's fairly simple. Give it a try; ask your nine year old to show you how to use it.

Besides, maybe you can find a way to use it at work. You're sales right? Make an account, add all your customer's twitter accounts (when available) and tweet to them about new product deals, events you'll be available at etc.
