Twitter Local: @Tolles, @JimBradySP, @Vacanti, and more

All the tweets that fit… listening in on the hyperlocal Twitterverse.

This week, Groupon’s CEO poked fun at the “quiet period” the company is in now that it has filed for an initial public offering; SCVNGR’s Seth Priebatsch hates First Data – just fyi. Jim Brady of Journal Register thinks the Newspaper Association of America is getting “absurd” in its analyses. And more:

@tolles: @AntDeRosa idea of the media being all classy & shit was a brief moment enabled by local newspaper monopolies. Thank god *that’s* over 🙂

Andrew Mason, Groupon, June 3, 2011
@andrewmason: Trying to think of new things to not talk about.

Vinicius Vacanti, of Yipit, June 6, 2011
@vacanti: If Groupon is a ponzi scheme, would have been *really* aggressive to turn down $6 billion Google offer.

Seth Priebatsch, SCVNGR,  June 9, 2011
@sethpriebatsch: I just need to share this. First Data is the stupidest freaking corporation on the planet. Avoid at all costs.

@brianmba: Looking at a newspaper 4 first time in months waiting for chinese. There’s something serene and paced about print thats not part of digital.
