**Brandon Sheley** · 08-03-2007, 11:11 AM

honestly, I haven't checked out twitter since the night I posted this

I don't really understand it ?

**Rocket 442** · 08-03-2007, 11:21 AM

I just looked and I don't seem to understand it all that well either.

What is the point, and why is it so damn ugly :lol:

you can get it to send to your IM clients.

It is micro-blogging. 140 characters or less to share your thoughts with the world.

Follow "kanter". Beth Kanter is a well know blogger and non-profit activist. She lives by Twitter to get quick messages about her work in Cambodia out to the world.

When the bridge in MN collapsed, it was all over Twitter instantly - faster than websites or live news could get it out.

My life isn't interesting enough to even warrant my blog. It's definely not interesting enough to blog about what I'm doing every 2 seconds. :rofl:

You gotta think, are people so permanently attached to a computer that their twitter every little trivial aspect of their life?

**AyeCapn** · 08-03-2007, 12:15 PM

wow. You sure are a bunch of open minded people. You also hate text messaging on cell phones, don't you?

Don't slam the tool just because you don't immediately grasp it's application.

Yes I do hate text messaging

it's quicker to just hit "call" than typing up "yeah I'll be there in 5 min"

No disrespect man, I just don't see the coolness factor. Heck, I don't see the point on watching TV shows on a iPod with the small screen and all.

To each his own.

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-03-2007, 02:07 PM

I took it as a quick message system too, but I have to agree that my life isn't interesting enough to post on twitter

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-08-2008, 12:44 PM

I've added the twitter box to the home page blog, join me and you can have your post show up on all the blog pages :bluebowdanc:

twitter has got a great deal of exposure lately due to the guy texting to Twitter when being arrested in Egypt.

It basically helped him be released because people on twitter activated a process of letting everyone no that he had been arrested

without the twitter system things could have been far worse they reckon and taken a great del longer for his release

who knows

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-08-2008, 02:07 PM

oh, I never heard about that..

**bobdebilder** · 05-08-2008, 02:18 PM

take your pick

twitter egypt - Google Search

**Rocket 442** · 05-08-2008, 03:35 PM

**sleuth** · 05-08-2008, 04:27 PM

Just added you sleuth1 , been using it for a week or so , may write a post on its relation to SEO ( or lack of utility in this respect )

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-08-2008, 05:53 PM

**bdude** · 05-09-2008, 01:19 AM

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-12-2008, 07:36 PM

I've been twittering for a few days now, I may even blog about it

I have 50 followers..w00t :word: and I'm following 90

**ArnyVee** · 05-13-2008, 08:08 AM

How do you get followers? Do they know you or find out about you through other "twitters"?

I might have to twitter myself...wait, that didn't sound right. I might have to sign up for twitter. There's that's better.

Thanks Bryce

btw.. I think twitter went down today

**bdude** · 05-16-2008, 12:16 AM

Yeah, Twitter used to be pretty regularly down, they've got a new hosting company now and they seem to be a lot better then they were before.

**Caddyman** · 05-22-2008, 06:09 AM

I have a twitter page, can't access here, will post from home...

**Brandon Sheley** · 07-15-2008, 10:38 AM

I just seen this mod
Twitter Profile 1.0 (displays Twitter on a member's profile page) - vBulletin.org Forum
I'm going to check it out, we can have our tweets show on our own profile page

**Soliloquy** · 07-15-2008, 11:16 AM

I don't think anyone would be interested in the minutiae of my life

**Brandon Sheley** · 07-15-2008, 11:29 AM

ya never know

I have ping.fm setup for all sites like this.
one message and it goes to my facebook, myspace, twitter xanga and a whole bunch of places
it's handy because I get just sent a message to their aim user and it will propagate throughout the network

**Caddyman** · 07-15-2008, 07:34 PM

i tried to use twitter, lost interest, dont really understand it

**Brandon Sheley** · 07-16-2008, 11:32 AM
