Breaking News Coverage

Select breaking news on the crime stories currently being covered will be routinely offered. It just wont ever be the first blog to cover the story. Whenever possible, a video will be offered for extra impact. That means at least one day delay to allow others to upload new videos. Further, I have a personal life and am making no pretense of offering around the clock coverage of anything. This is a hobby blog, not HLN or CNN.

How to Contact John H. Gohde in Private

Facebook is how you may contact me in private. Sending private messages, is one of the things that Facebook is good for.

A hyperlink to my Facebook profile page is in the left sidebar of this Blog.

In Facebook, a Friend is just code for someone that you want to interact with, might want to interact with, or someone who belongs to a group of people that you share a similar interest with, such as missing children.

After joining Facebook, once you request to add me as your friend, you are given the opportunity to send me a private message. After I add you as a friend private messages can go on forever. Of course, you always have the option in Facebook to drop me as a friend at any time.

Of all the social media marketing (SMM) sites, Facebook is it in 2010! Some people actually believe that it will one day be more popular than Google. It is a good account to have for no other reason than to check out people in the news. A handy feature of FB is to see what Issues and Nancy Grace will be covering in advance.

Let me put it this way. Either you need to contact me bad enough in private to set up a Facebook account, or you don’t. My time is valuable. The choice is yours.
