Re: I'm all a Twitter!

why is it that I never seem to have problems with these sites? Am I somehow deficient? It's very disturbing & upsetting. (hehehehe)

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

So, I get into Twitter and now what? I can log in, I can read, but I can't tweet. Since the hacking-outage of a couple days ago, I've been unable to send any tweets. I've tried both replies to people and general postings - and all that happens after trying to send the tweet is that the little swirly "waiting" circle just swirls and swirls and swirls, and never posts.

Back on board after three days unable to send. Wonder if they are still "fixing" things? I know scrivener had some troubles lately, too.

Once again - I can't send any tweets.

I'm beginning to remember why I generally don't bother with these kinds of things...

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

Less than a week after Twitter was crippled by a DDoS attack (along with other popular sites and services, it should be noted), Twitter is down again this morning. It's like 2007 all over again. And 2008, for that matter.

As usual, I moved to tracking conversations on FriendFeed. But now that Facebook has bought FriendFeed, heaven knows what lies ahead for that service.

And very timely, as far as I'm concerned! How did you know, Ryan, hmmmm????

Very interesting article. I filed it in case I get ramrodded into joining Twitter for work! I always wondered what RT meant. Now I know! Thanx, Ryan!

Check out this Hooked On Tweeting article in the TGIF section of today's Advertiser, and look for the sidebar on the right-hand side.
Well done, Ryan!!!

It may take a while for following someone. It took a couple of days for a few people to follow Albert on twitter. And even that was strange, like after a few tries we get to see Albert's twitter messages but we don't see his icon listed in the "followers" section but after a day or two his icon shows up.

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

i went to sign up to "follow" you but it said you didn't exist

Ooh! I love a mystery! Of course, I haven't checked in for over 24 hours (I can't do so at work, and I'm not ready to hook it up to my cell yet), so who knows what has happened...

You're still on my follow twitter list as retroporter.

All y'all forgive me if it takes me a little time to figure out how to be a bit less newbie. (I've actually followed a handful of you HT-twitterers before this.)

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

Leo, you're not the only newbie. It takes me a little bit longer these days to figure out all this new-fangled technology. By the time I figure out Twitter, Facebook will go the way of My Space, and there will be a new Latest and Greatest to decipher. It's both scary and exciting at the same time.

Enjoy your new account, and best wishes.
