i don't twitter, don't social network aside from my blogs and handful of forums.

Shauk but doesn't that also come from just interacting with the individual as they share one on one with you during conversations? Or is it just "same old, same old" a response? I IM with a friend in Iceland and I know about him because we converse via IM. It's not just a static message he leaves me. Over the years we've developed a nice relationship that overshadows my wife and his spouse's relationship which is the original way we met. They only interface from time to time, in fact I know more about what is going on from the cumulative interactions I have.

that may work for people who are at their computers a lot, at least, enough to IM, but say for example, I get off work, away from the computer, I go to walk out to some place i'm gigging for the night, exciting things happen, or, changes of plans occur, impromptu parties, etc. Things I can't be bothered to call 100 or so people to update with. Anyone who is "following" me on my twitter is also given the option to receive my updates and reply to them via text messaging on their cell phone. (it's actually pretty easy) (double nice is the fact that youc an set "hours" for it to not send you updates (ahh my phone is buzzing at 4am cuz shauk isn't asleep yet! damn you twitter! well, yeah you can just turn that off)

I dunno, i was off the computer for easily a chunk of time exceeding 8 hours, but the twittering was still going strong both too and from me, and I can't say that happens with myspace/LJ/other online thingies.

I think it's pretty nice, the thing about being social on IM/AIM whatever is it usually involves 2 people being completely "stationary" and not out and about "living" their life. seems like with this, you could be up on top of the mountain, conquering a wicked trail, and twitter about it, while your friends are at a convention, or eating at a new restaurant and basically you're simultaneously having a great time, or inspiring the people who AREN'T to get off their ass and start working on that.


personally, I've found this twitter thing to be kind of a kick in the pants, if I don't have something interesting to write, i'm doing it wrong. It's making me wanna do stuff that I wouldn't normally have been motivated to try doing.

As I said, if my life isn't interesting enough for me to write about to some extent, then it spurs me to change this.

I don't doubt that, what I was referring to is that it isn't much different than people keeping in contact. Keeping up with the mundane, via blog, twittr, or conversation is boring period.

Doing something because you're "impressing" someone or your twittr? is that who you really are? or is it no different than a different version of being an attention whore?

I don't discredit what you are saying or doing. I do try to do interesting things that are interesting to me, but not what I wouldn't have normally been motivated to do in the first place. So if it does get you to do something different because you want to start doing something different, that's great. If you're doing something different because you want to see a difference in your twittr activity... well that's a different animal.

it's less about impressing the masses than it is reading your own writing and going "how droll"

The only person I want to impress is myself, but isn't that everybody to an extent?

No twitter, just a lot of twatter.

i'm afraid.

Gah. I started this today. http://twitter.com/RangerJoe

is this whole thing not covered with the "is..." thing in facebook or am i missin something critical here? i have myspace, facebook, ringo, hi5, photobucket, livejournal, tfp and god-knows-what other accounts. do i really need yet another one?

Haha If you have all of those already, what's another one? =P

that´s the spirit. i wonder if someone´s going to figure out how to x-link them all so i don´t have to write that i´m currenly picking my nose on facebook, myspace, twitter, wall outside my house etc...

I've had twitter for a while, but don't use it. I don't think very often, "I need to report this on the internet."

ok so i´m bored enough.

off to harvest everyone who´ve posted their accounts.

Twitter is mostly inane, but it doesn't have to be. When interesting things are happening but don't necessarily fit in with traditional methods of reportage, twitter can be kinda interesting.

I find twitter is interesting now I've got the hang of it - I read a number of people's blogs via it, and use it in the same way as Facebook status line (in fact I use it to update facebook).

Anyone else?

*raises hand*

Yep, I'm on it... I don't post exciting things, though. Mostly I just like to follow not-very-but-kind-of famous people, plus NASA and the Reds.


Although, I was thinking about this the other night... I headed down to Newport, which is 45ish minutes away, for a music show that I didn't know I was going to, and therefore, didn't tell anyone about. It occured to me that if I disappeared, my followers on twitter would at least have clues to where I'd been. (of course, after thinking this, I immediately texted a friend to tell her where I was.)


oh, http://twitter.com/Cinnakins. That's me. I suppose you can always un-follow me if you think I'm too boring :)

guilty as charged....Christopher Haddock (cdwonderful) on Twitter

go ahead follow me I dare ya....

I've got 3 accounts, one is my personal

Shannon Byers (Shanifaye) on Twitter (big surprise)

and then 1 each for my genealogy sites

I'm nikkiana (nikkiana) on Twitter on there.

I'm cmykevin. I use it to replace all other forms of "social networking" as I only used them to actually try and keep up with old friends, not find new music. Sometimes it's just easier to announce that I'll be going to a restaraunt/bar/event/area, and see who's in the area then calling everyone in my contacts. My work uses it to announce new gallery openings/shows, new products or surprise sales (They're gallerynucleus).
