If anyone here does the Twitter thing...

Pretty sure I suck now that I have that...but since I sucked before anyway...

;)

No idea what I'm doing, but enjoy.

1. It makes some folks indignant as hell that it even exists

as far as I can tell from the posts about it here.

4. I was one

Silently, i.e. I didn't gripe about it on DU because I didn't know what it was, but I knew I was really sick of hearing about Tweeting and all that shit...and then I was kinda drunk last night (Bruins/Celtics/Sox night) and woke up this morning with a Twitter account, so away we go.

I'm not sure my page will ever be worth a damn, but I have a shitload of others I'm "following," and it's pretty awesome: this new Mississippi River of data flowing through my PC and phone.

Yes. I suck.

2. Any racy messages?

Cause I don't want to hear about you driving on the highway !

3. The ones you are following are pretty darn good.

:thumbsup:

5. That's the best part

For me, anyway. My additions to the Tweet world aren't much, but damn, I have a new river of data to satiate my news-junkie monkey. :)

9. Yes, that's what I like about it too.

anamariecox (appears on Rachel's show & started Wonkette) is pretty good, as well as Democracy_Now.

I've added some local (to me) bloggers who keep up with things locally better than the newspapers around here.

6. I demand weather reports

...and whatever you're eating and watching on TV.

I swear, we stalkers never had it so easy. I've freed up my schedule so much I can stalk like 10, 15 people in the time it used to take me to do 3 or 4! :D

7. We all have to suck at something...

No one likes perfect people:)

No wonder I'm so well loved:)

8. Pft, right, like you'd ever read my tweet anyway

:rofl:

10. Be sure to use the search function and hashtags

to find what events/things people are tweeting about. To get an idea of that, just click on one of the "trending topics" on the right side of the page. Those are the hottest topics at any given time. Or you can search on any topic. (You may know this already, but it was a while before I figured it out.)
