Does your organizational cultrual reward patriotism and good citizenship?http://ow.ly/1yKCK posted by @Incentinel

I am not normally going to talk about news stories, but this caught my eye (http://bit.ly/dzIyWm) from The State. The SC Senate has overwhelming overrided the governor’s veto of a bill allowing warrantless searches of parolees and those with criminal records.

How much of the Twitter conversation is a one-way street? @MackCollier takes a look at what some Tweetstats (http://moblogsmoproblems.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-conversational-are-twitters-power.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheViralGarden+%28The+Viral+Garden%29" ) have to tell us. (a lot of one way talk!). Want to know what your stats are? Check them out at www.tweetstats.com

Think Greenville doesn’t have poverty? @OEWO (Our eyes were opened, a non-profit organization) will be touring the area tomorrow from 9 to 10:45 a.m. Maybe it will open our eyes, too. DM OEWO if you’re interested.

Gil Gerretsen tweets this link (http://www.smartmoney.com/personal-finance/real-estate/why-cant-i-get-a-mortgage-loan/?cid=1230) to an article on what banks are making home loans. Good to know.

@Tvamy is looking for photos of the tea party event in Boiling Springs. Email ‘em if you’ve got ‘em to amywoodtv@gmail.com

Happiest tweet of the day: @TVAmy reports that Jenny Sanford – the governor’s ex – is dating. You go girl!

DaDig: 24 hours of Tweets and posts boiled down for you

Today, we're going to try something new. A lot of folks new to social media complain about not having time to follow all the information services out there. And, often the time spent requires a lot of digging around to separate the wheat from the chaff.

So as an experiment, we're starting DaDig - a daily digest of social media and networking posts, comments, emails of interest to the Greenville business community - and perhaps beyond the city. Although events, etc., are geographically limited to the Upstate SC area.

Obviously, this is a subjective analysis so you have to take that with a grain of salt. We are really interested in your ideas and comments and whether or not this is a useful, fun or interesting tool for you. And also let us know if there's a person or organization you think we should follow.

So here's the first edition of DaDig.
