No, that's ALL ads. RT @ckanal: RT @amichel: Wowzer: General Motors spent $1.83bn on Facebook ads last year http://t.co/sjAM2cIV #

Loved that. Needed a 3rd story "Why this is news" RT @abetekippe: Headline #3 conveniently followed by #4 http://t.co/JbsJo920 #

Awesome. RT @PWSullivan: Kerry Wood walks a pair and gives up game-tying single. Cubs' 8th blown save in 14 chances. #

Both the story and comments are depressing. Why smart sitcoms are dying off (hint: dumb audiences) http://t.co/zxKqrKfB #

Did you get a 61% raise last year? The CEO of Blue Cross Illinois did. See how other healthcare CEOs fared: http://t.co/Q2zwBIzg #

Consumer Price Index in Chicago unchanged this month. Food and energy were up, but everything else was down. #

We're now taking nominations for @CrainsChicago's '40 Under 40' Class of 2012. Details here => http://t.co/P3tGyMta #

First day @crainschicago. Glad to be working with @GabiLieberman and @ariggio again. http://t.co/ko4Ww2bl #

When surveys say they have a representative sample, they use Census/ACS data to determine that. It's important. http://t.co/OGJvXZqx #

I'm impressed the Time cover story has generated as much chatter as it has -- since it's behind a paywall. Anyone actually read it??? #

Signing off from @adage. See you on the flip side, and thanks to all my great @adage colleagues for two (more) great years. #

These look really cool. #geek RT @andrewmason: USB-rechargeable AA batteries: http://t.co/N1rY0UC8 #

Today's my penultimate day at @adage. It's been awesome and now ... @crainschicago, here I come (back.) #

Cutting the Census funding is just stupid. How this became partisan, I really don't quite understand. http://t.co/ezA3AZS6 #
