Sit there and wait for something interesting to happen. You may want to grab a snack.

SharonDee · #52 03-16-2009, 08:59 PM

Oh, so I treat Twitter like I treat :ff:

, eh?

Leesifer · #53 03-16-2009, 09:01 PM

I just check it a couple of times a day and have nothing to update really. The celebs I'm following can be quite amusing though.

SharonDee · #54 03-16-2009, 09:10 PM

Oh my gord; William Shatner tweets!

Not that ... I'm impressed with that. Or anything.

Ensign Steve · #55 03-16-2009, 09:49 PM

You guys let me know if you find a NPH feed, kay? Thanks!

Ok, me too. Don't ask me why.

Ensign Steve · #58 03-17-2009, 03:03 AM

Have you guys noticed that all it hasn't taken any new updates in like the last 5 hours? I've sent four updates since then (the last two being along the lines of "wtf is happening to my tweets") but they don't show up. Then I notice I don't have any new updates from anybody in the last 5 hours. Damn!

ETA: Except Crumbles, but I don't think he should count since he's new.

Look at it now! It's gone again. :cry:

What am I doing wrong?

Ensign Steve · #62 03-17-2009, 04:57 AM

HAHA! Dingfods bleedin' gums update disappeared. Looks like I'm not the only one. Crumb is immune, though, lucky bastard! The foo is strong. I've been poking around the twitter help and announcements pages, and it looks like this has happened in the past (although nobody is addressing the current one yet ... or if they are, their updates are disappearing as well), but I also noticed my number of updates is correct, so I am guessing they'll just turn up eventually. WTF, though, seriously!

Edit: Ooooh! I fucking jinxed you! Sorry.

Twitter automatically shortened an url I posted there via tinyurl.com.

Picking up on this response late:

You know, VM, its amazing to me. I can program in something like 12 programming languages fluently (picked up C# in the last two months and wrote a whole - get this - end-user simplified business application development program - in it) and I'm a complete techno-grouch. I've got friend's asking me "why don't you twitter" and I'm, like, "WHAT USE DOES IT HAVE TO ME OR YOU? MY LIFE IS TOO BORING TO ADD TRAFFIC TO THE INTERNETS".

When I was younger I was gaga over every new innovation. Now its: Do I need it? Want it? No. Don't care. Before there was a (commercially available) Interscapes, my friends and I were all "One day there will be some kind of worldwide network and the RPG opportunities will be incredible!!one1". Now its "bleh, MMORPGS suck donkey's balls so hard, they've got a big fat hardon for MMO but everything is 'instances'. Well done, asshole. Your mark, fail."

People are like, "HEY FAFS, HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THE NEW WINDOWS MOBILE WHATEVER CELLPHONE CAN DO??!!ONEONE1" and I'm "I FUKKEN HATE WINDOWS MOBILE, ITS DESIGNED TO BE A PALM COMPUTER OS WHEN ALL I WANT IS A FUKKEN PHONE, BASTARD SHIT. JESUS DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE LIVES?". Its a love-hate thing.

And somehow I'm not surprised that the technical wiz of the forum admin has a similar 'tude.

Yep it does that by default if the URL is over a certain number of characters. I spent a lot of Monday reading their faqs and help files. I know more about twitter than I ever wanted to. Still don't know how to work it, though.

So did the bleeding gums. I've got to quit hunting at Chernobyl.

Ironically, I've been enlisted to work on the "social media" team for my group because I'm more familiar with it than any of my coworkers. As such I had to join "Yammer", which is basically a corporate intraTwitter. However I'm hesitant to Yammer about things I'm working on because a lot of it is "eyes only" stuff pertaining to as yet unreleased products, etc. so I don't really know what to post.
