Did we receive a "tweet" from outer space in 1977? Some people believe so. A radio transmission that is known as the Wow! signal is being remembered thanks to a new television program by the National Geographic Channel. That show, "Chasing UFOs," premieres Friday at 9 p.m. and is hoping to get a bit of a push by bringing up the historic incident. People are being urged to tweet between 8 p.m. on Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday with the hashtag #ChasingUFOs and their messages to space. The tweets will all be beemed up to space in one single message, according to representatives for the channel. The idea might make one wonder what message would be of interest or importance to extra terrestrial beings ... if the transmission was indeed real. The …

In a bold move, Netflix announced it will spike its DVD and online movie packages by almost 60 percent. The changes ignited massive discontent among its users, with more than 30,000 people leaving disapproving comments on Netflix's Facebook page, threatening to cancel their subscriptions. Twitter exploded with angry comments from users, who vowed to never again use the signature red envelope DVD rental service. The company said it will now separate its online streaming and mail-in movie options. Users will have to purchase the plans individually — $7.99 to rent one movie out at a time and $7.99 for online streaming. Prior to the changes, subscribers would pay $9.99 to rent one DVD at a time and stream unlimited movies from the web. …

Ever had one of those conversations that just didn't quite go the way you expected? Thursday night on #NJPatchChat—Patch's statewide Twitter chat on big issues with local impacts—we expected to explore how New Jerseyans felt about our president, Barack Obama; our senator, Robert Menendez; and our governor, Chris Christie. Turns out everyone wanted to talk about our plainspoken and often-controversial governor, and his bullish (or bullheaded, if you're on that side of the debate) plans for New Jersey. Every time we tried to ask how our Democratic leaders were doing, the conversation turned back to Christie. But hey, so long as there's a lively and interesting debate, we don't mind. Certainly the most vocal of Thursday night's tweeters were …

The numbers are in. The victors are celebrating. And voters are left asking: OK, now what? Well, maybe not all voters. But the voters who run our weekly #NJPatchChat on Twitter every Thursday at 8 p.m. This week we'll be asking how you feel about the election results on the local, state and national level–and what those who'll be taking power need to do to earn the trust just extended to them. How should newly Republican House tackle America's problems? How will your newly elected local officials tackle a 2 percent property tax cap? Should New Jersey have returned (almost) all of its federal legislators to their jobs? We'll ask those questions and more Thursday at 8 p.m. Just follow and use hashtag #NJPatchChat to participate. If you're …
