Great observation here, SwoLy. I need DaDakota to come to my house when I get off work, the wife and me can find some things for him to do since he has so much free time on his hands.
Anyone know if an App like this exists for us iPhone owners. With 50,000 Apps availble, Im sure there must be one, just dont know of it yet.... Thanks in advance!
I also use it as an RSS feed of sorts, following: CNN Sports - Bucher (too bad ESPN put the lockdown though), Woj, Simmons, etc Random humor like Aziz Ansari, Rainn Wilson, etc Some other random people, like Leo Laporte Most of all I keep up on the drum & bass scene following the big producers and DJ's I rarely tweet, mostly just a random reply here or there to a dnb artist, and sometimes I even get a correspondence going...something that would not have been possible in any other format, like Myspace or emails which would just get ignored. I use Tweetdeck.
I signed up a while back and have an account, but I never use it. I use facebook a lot but twitter just seems utterly useless, I see absolutely no purpose for it.
You knwo, you can link your Facebook account with your Twitter account using the Twitter App on Facebook so in that way when you update your status on Facebook, it automatically posts on Twitter or vice-versa.
I'm dinking around with it... mostly to become familiar with Twitter if I end up using it on an incident. I mainly tweet about work-related stuff and follow lots of emergency response orgs/people and a handful of Rockets twitterers. I use Tweetdeck mostly.
Yes I do, although not nearly as prolific as some folks. handle: joshuanguyen Full disclosure for bias, I work for a tech media company, so am slightly skewed towards the benefits: - Keeps me up to date with my friends (you can download apps that separate out followers from closer friends) - Source of relevant news/trends/info/industry tips (search based on hash tags, e.g I find lots of travel deals this way) - Online follows often translate to offline connections (e.g. if you're a photographer, you start following other photographers and exchange tips and ideas about technique, stock photography, setting up a studio, etc. and check out each other's porfolios, works, gallery showings -- lots of my friends have found this aspect useful) I think of it as standing on a balcony and listening to conversations as traffic passes by -- versus a private dialogue in IM, for instance. It does veer towards excessive when: - People try to over-market themselves, blathering on about their businesses (but self-promoters offline tend to work their way online) - People update minutiae ("OMG, I'm sad. LOL") So it's a good reflection of stuff that's already happening in real life (you meet people at parties, exchange info, etc.), but in a concentrated form. Some additional filters can be good, I suppose. BTW, my favorite new twitter account: s-h-i-t-mydadsays
I'm a tweeter on my good days edit: Prof... why are you not on my tweet list!! my twitter name is spygrl
LOL yes... that would be me... can't you tell by the background on my page? It's a lovely picture of Chuck from the 08 playoffs in TC. (edit: now I am wondering who you are on twitter - since you seem to recognize my username... )
