Thursday, Nov 12, 2009What I learned on Twitter this week - Nov 13

I’m Mike Ferguson from the Calvary 88-5 News Desk…and here’s what I learned on Twitter this week:
Mercy Me recorded a medley of Beatles’ songs, posted it online and, at the same time, apologized for the song to John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Rebecca Barlow from Barlow girl likes to de-stress by conquering big puzzles. She put together a 750-piece puzzle on Tuesday, in fact…
Jeremy Camp was NOT happy when his candy was stolen on his tour bus, but he was LESS happy when it turned out to be a mouse that did it.
And Missouri State Representative Ryan Silvey understands that the issue of health care divides us but he pointed out what unites us all around here: disappointment in the Kansas City Chiefs.
Oh, and the unlikely duo of Bebo Norman and Jars of Clay are teaming up on some Christmas music this year…THAT should be interesting!
I’m Mike Ferguson and that’s what I learned on Twitter this week. Now, back to The Go Show.
