.@bobbiejohnson, as a journalist, it is important that you disclose important things: conflict, bias, $$$ received, etc goo.gl/e1Hk
thomashawk@thomashawk if you've got something to actually say, I'm all ears. Otherwise what? You're just blowing smoke.

@bobbiejohnson you cite my work 5 years ago on Zooomr as disclosable bias about flickr but not your relationships 2 years ago on glitch.
@thomashawk oh, sorry, I get it. You're reaching: those later provisos did not apply when I wrote the Guardian piece. Anything else?
Bobbie Johnson
@thomashawk and just out of interest, did you disclose your history with flickr/zooomr to the journalist in question?
Bobbie Johnson
@bobbiejohnson so you weren't friends with the folks from flickr and your girlfriend goo.gl/erZW9 wasn't working for glitch then?
@bobbiejohnson I haven't worked on Zooomr in years. It's not really relevant to my thoughts on flickr at this point.
@thomashawk Yeah, I knew lots of Flickr people. I know lots of people everywhere. That's my job. No, she didn't work there then.

@thomashawk And if that's the best you've got, and you're trying to involve my family in it, then we're totally done. You're banned.
Bobbie Johnson
@bobbiejohnson interesting how she got a job there a few months after your puff piece though isn't it? you're chiding me on bias. really?
@thomashawk Hello. I can't help but notice my professional reputation is being maligned. Do you have a problem with me? Who are you?

@annapickard I have no problem with you. your boyfriend is accusing me of failing to disclose bias.
@thomashawk And you're accusing me of not being able to get work on the strength of my own resume. Which is a problem for me. Stop it.

@annapickard. I'm fine. not worked up at all. Just pointing out @bobbiejohnson's undisclosure. We should expect better from journalists.
@thomashawk And don't need to defend someone I know to be honest, professional and conscientious. You, on the other hand, I know not at all.

@thomashawk I get the feeling we're never going to be close friends, though, whoever you are,
anna pickard
@annapickard I'm crushed.
@thomashawk So you should be, I'm a lovely friend to have. I make cookies.
anna pickard
@annapickard I'm sure you're lovely. I didn't start this, your husband did.
@thomashawk Husband, eh? I shall seek him out and divorce him forthwith. Right, this has been super, but I must go work (work I got myself).

@annapickard enjoy your day.
