I'm all a Twitter!

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

Have something in mind PZ?

I honest to god do my best to utilize Pownce but it's just not user friendly for me. And, Jaiku is a ghost town of feeds, who the heck is reading 'em! UTTERZ I love, but it's not as quick and easy as Twitter. But if Twitter begins to get cocky, oh the PEAple will go elsewhere that's certain.

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

Lots of organizations planned to use Twitter as a 'liveblogging' platform for the MacWorld keynote by Steve Jobs. Instead, the service went down just as Steve Jobs took the stage. Lots of folks are commenting about the stability and scalability of the site. Right now, it's the only game in town (sites like Pownce and Jaiku just haven't gained a foothold), but considering how simple the basic concept is, it's not hard to imagine Twitter actually having some serious competition soon. Then, all the cutesy "bring that beat back!" error messages in the world won't save 'em from poor planning.

Sorry about that. I think it's obnoxious of me.

Stop. We love smart people. Just be who you are.

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

I find it weirdly liberating, and at least provocative. I'm usually so overly verbose, working with a 140 character limit to express something stretches my brain cells nicely. I especially enjoy when I can string together a few natural phrases that come out to exactly 140 characters.

With all the HT folks on Twitter, it's hilarious to see all the chatter about Mitchell's trivia contest.

In effort to get that verb/subject agreement goin' on, I could use an upgrade. 217 characters, perhaps?

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

thanks Neenz! Still figuring it out. The limited text allowed is soooo limiting.

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

I just signed up on twitter. My username looks like a Hawaiian bracelet as it is onelongwordwithoutanydiacriticals. www.twitter.com/puaimanao

I did, howevah, find a really gorgeous pic of Marlene Dietrich (my fave of that era).

I cannot figure out how to msg anyone, though.

You can message randomly and whomever is following you will read it as well as the public if you haven't restricted your account.

You use @ and the exact spelling of the person's user name with no space, @puaimanao and the message will now also appear in the REPLIES tab. Careful, some have different user names than on HT and in real life. I do recall a certain twitter to @ryan intending to go to PZ, but on twitter he's @hawaii.

If someone mutually follows you, you will then be allowed to MESSAGE them. Go to their profile, find the MESSAGE button and click, type, send. This is called a DIRECT MESSAGE, DM and will appear only to the person it's intended for. You need to click on DIRECT to read your messages.

In SETTINGS you can set-up your mobile phone to twitter from while away from your comp or laptop.

In your mobile phone, you can also TRACK PUAIMANAO and you'll receive SMS messages while on the go.

And that's the basics.

Welcome to twitter. It's a whole lot of fun, and full of interesting information if you follow the right people.

ALOHA.
NEENZ.

What a loser! Now that was a joke

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

My life doesn't revolve around my cell phone. I have an iLife not an iPhone.

I am proud to say I have no iPhone or no cell phone of any type!

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

Well if there's no to indicate a light hearted jab at a post then you take it for face value.

Re: I'm all a Twitter!

I don't know...apparently not having Twitter makes me a loser despite having my health, wealth and family.

Umm...in the handful of months I've been on HT and twitter, I do believe Scrivener was being sarcastic in a way, and not kind of way.
