Twitter C/D

I have a friend who uses this to read his friends' feeds, so I basically only see it from the angle of a person who is constantly checking his phone while I'm trying to have a conversation with him. The first time I heard of Twitter was from him when I finally got exasperated with his constantly checking his phone.

Maybe I'm the one with the problem, but I can't really think of anyone in the world interesting enough for me to want updates on their activities throughout the day. I'd say the only people I could imagine wanting to twitter could be: Drug smuggler, violent prison inmate, Slash-in-his-heyday type rock star, and a dog (if they somehow managed to translate its thoughts into English text).

don't use it, don't know anyone who does, but i check this one all the time: http://twitter.com/MarsPhoenix

i very very rarely check it on my phone. does mobile use seem to be the prominent use?

SMS functionality seems to be its USP now that Facebook status updates have taken the mainstream microblogging space.

As I said above, people using it for pushed news bulletins and question-broadcasting rather than personal what-i'm-doing stuff is another application.

(I think you can now do Facebook by SMS in America, actually, but not here)

SMS is a fucking trilobite technology

I followed @johncleese back when his followers were in the double digits.

Seriously someone FedEx me a fucking medal already.

how the fuck are they planning to make money? Also, they could easily have charged for this in Europe, and at least started making some actual income for a change.

so: brightkite, then. anyone played about with it much? i'm not sure i can particularly be arsed, TBH.

Twinkle is useful to see if there's trouble on my tram line or the local cafe is on fire.

ON IPHONE

Brightkite seems particularly marvelous, actually. Like Twitter with upgrades.

mildly diverting for a bit

well, it would be if only folk would stop talking about coldplay and radiohead

oh

it combines the top artists from last.fm (coldplay, radiohead) with twitter

no potential to divert at all now

Special times

“remembering how happy we all were”

i wasn’t it’s against fucking policy but alsoi wasn’. shit was horrific. even if it was an underwater deservable.

it’s funny because the reality of people getting crushed is sad and that kid was just there for his dad, but in the stakes of tragedies dying instantly by being crushed like a grape is not a terrible way to go, all
things considered. and the ridiculous hubris of a guy who ignored every expert taking insanely rich people in a death tube is wild

so many good details in that story the video game controller every submarine person telling them to stop

thats awesome, every once in a while I remember there was a Lovecraftian dril account out there that just disappeared

yeah Rufo has been pretty successful in astroturfing at least, a lot of the anti-CRT/DEI/"Wokeness" stuff comes from him, it's not like these are issues conservatives really care about or can even define

Well, they definitionally care about them? It's being able to name them (even if the definitions are wavy) that he's done the work on - so 35 states can pass anti-CRT measures, but they can be applied on a "you know if it you see it" basis - even worse than CRT is CRT that's denying it's CRT!

meanwhile elsewhere 😔

this email subject just in: "A New Chapter Begins: Post News Users Are Migrating to Spoutible"

lol
I saw a couple new bluesky users with “coming here from Post, nice to see you!” as their first skeet and laughed
