Twitter?

[LIPH]

If you have no real interest in following celibrities then what are you doing on a Buffett board Sam? Certain aspects of this board involve following him around. Why did you even bother to register under an assumed name from a different IP address to come back if you have no interest Sam?

He likes to bait people and he's a master at it. Baiting.

Ice water thru the nose kinda hurts Larry. I think I snorted a cube sliver out.

My work here is done.

Twitter had a great week last week: http://bhc3.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/no ... bs-change/

Last week was quite a famous one for Twitter. We had the race to 1 million followers, Oprah joined the fray, and Larry King did an hour with Ashton Kutcher, Sean Puffy Combs and other celebrities (talking about Twitter).

Twitter: The New Email
The media saturation bombing of Twitter stories is incredible. Oprah’s joining Twitter has been heralded as a milestone in Twitter’s ongoing march to the mainstream.

TMZ.com, Us Weekly and other magazines will be in full Twitter fury.

Currently, the question you ask others is, “Are you on Twitter?” This is a bit like asking someone back in the early 1990s, “Are you on email?” Not everyone was.

Twitter’s entry box says, “What are you doing?” Not, “What do you want to reply?” The roots of the company are more broadcast-oriented. Not to say conversation isn’t incredibly important to its growth. But many people feel that two-way conversations are all it’s about. The ability to broadcast, without guilt, is the fundamental engine of Twitter’s growth. Otherwise it’s a forum without the threading.

I've heard so much about Twitter and looked into it last night. I didn't have the time to register. Since I wasn't familiar with it at first it seemed strange but I was able to pick up the concept rather quickly. I'm considering joining.

I think you'll like it, Connie. Lots of Parrotheads on there. One lady posted some awesome pix of the Raleigh concert. I direct msgd her (PM'd) and asked if she'd been to Buffett News. She said she loves Buffett News, but had never been to the discussion board, just the news portion.

That's what I like about the reporters on there. You get upclose and personal before they do their televised reports. Even Al Roker gives the weather report for the entire country each morning before he does it on the air. And tells us about his daughter and her fever, which is why he had to stay home yesterday.

Oh! And phjim finally tweeted something on there.

I agree TweetDeck makes it so much more streamlined.

tweetdeck is the only way to use twitter

What the heck is TweetDeck and how does it work?

I'm trying to figure this out

This was a funny Twitter piece in the Boston Globe today, by Joanna Weiss:

5:53 a.m. from crib

@Mommy WAKE UP!
5:57 a.m. from crib

Mommy holding me, walking, but not talking much. Fiddling with coffee machine. Funny, she does this every morning.
6:12 a.m. from kitchen

I think I just peed.
7:01 a.m. from kitchen

Mommy says you're not supposed to put the newspaper in your mouth. So what are you supposed to do with it?
7:25 a.m. from kitchen

Oatmeal again? You've got to be kidding me.
8:12 a.m. from high chair

No! Don't wipe my face! Noooooooooo!
8:27 a.m. from high chair

Just discovered the coolest toy. Rattle shaped like red dog. I am in heaven.
10:13 a.m. from bouncy chair

I can HIT the rattle with my HAND! Whoopee!
10:15 a.m. from bouncy chair

I have never been so bored in my life.
10:16 a.m. from bouncy chair

I don't want to take a nap! I don't want to take a nap! I don't want to take a nap! I don't wa - asdl;jeklr aeriouaiew
11:12 a.m. from crib

@Mommy AWAKE!
12:03 p.m. from crib

Diaper change. Fresh air feels good. Clean feels good. Why is Mommy making that face?
12:17 p.m. from changing table

Why am I not eating RIGHT NOW?
12:32 p.m. from bedroom

Nooo! Don't strap me in! Don't strap me in! What? Oh, we're taking a walk. Hooray!
1:05 p.m. from living room

@OtherBaby You are fascinating. Truly. Will you marry me?
1:32 p.m. from stroller

@Mommy You are fascinating, too. Will you marry me?
1:39 p.m. from stroller

@Ladyonsidewalk Don't come any closer! No! Don't touch my hands! Mommy!
1:47 p.m. from stroller

Where am I? What? Did I fall asleep again?
3:05 p.m. from stroller

In bouncy chair next to window. Hanging toys. Big sister comes by every few minutes to shake me. I can live with this.
3:30 p.m. from bouncy chair

Ready to get out of the bouncy chair now.
3:34 p.m. from bouncy chair

ANYBODY HEAR ME?
3:35 p.m. from bouncy chair

I think I just peed.
4:12 p.m. from living room

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see? Wait, I know this. I know this. Don't tell me. I know this. Ohhh, Red Bird! Right!
4:36 p.m. from living room

Why am I not eating RIGHT NOW?
5:03 p.m. from kitchen

Daddy hands me cool new toy. Soft, shaped like some animal. I think I'm going to try to eat it.
6:08 p.m. from living room

@Daddy Throw me in the air again! Yes! Throw me in the air again!
6:41 p.m. from living room

@Daddy STOP. NOW.
6:44 p.m. from living room

Ah, bathtime. Warm water makes me nostalgic for something I can't quite remember. Suddenly I feel the urge to kick!
7:20 p.m. from bathroom

@Mommy Will you marry me? Have I asked you that before?
7:36 p.m. from bedroom

Yay, Connie's tweeting!

Weird when that happens isn't it? I feel like DMing them, why are you following me? Like, this really interesting artist single dad from Canada (aNorthernSoul) showed up out of nowhere msging me about the baby ducks my brother had. Now we're friends. It's like making friends on Buffett News.

Hey lime rickie, I love that baby Twitter!

[surfpirate]

One of my favorites is John Cleese.
http://twitter.com/JohnCleese
He doesn't tweet too often, but when he does
... it's with his usual Monty Python-isque off the wall humor,
in 140 characters or less of course.


And of course ............ http://twitter.com/theanonymouse

So glad to have SP & Anonymouse on Twitter!

jimmybuffett's (http://twitter.com/jimmybuffett) "tweet" from yesterday .....

jimmybuffett: Someone needs to get Jon Stewart to more Buffett concerts

I'm generally a pretty loyal viewer of the Daily Show, but I missed whatever this may be about. Did Stewart "diss" Jimmy somehow?

Last night he and his guest were talking about how people are delusional about the stock market...like people at a JB concert (paraphrasing). Jon said individually, they're great people, but put them together and.....

I haven't been on twitter in AGES I see people are still signing up to follow me and I wonder why

I saw that too, and wondered what it was about. I don't watch Jon Stewart, but knew that there had to be something to it or it wouldn't have been on the "hotline" so fast.
