Twitter C/D

abbs i am following u now btw

Trayce if this becomes ANYTHING like the last.fm thread forsooth I will personally firebomb ilx

I loathe lastfm's user/artist architecture so much I didn't even want to open that thread. Glad I didn't.

so this is the ILX twitter "backchannel" then?

I'm totally new to this (http://twitter.com/baaderonixxxx) but as a noob it seems this is way more geared towards web biz networking than proper social stuff.

e.g. http://blog.mrtweet.net/what-unique-meaningful-value-have-you-gotten-out-of-twitter

2) Valuable Business Relationships

NO NO NO NO NONO NO NONO NONONOON

It's like passing notes in class. It's not meaningful at all, but it sure is fun.

You know, I'm not sure that it is.

Er, nothing against any particular ilxors, mind, but in my week-or-so of pissfarting around with this thing I've not been particularly compelled by anything yet.

Well, it's pretty reductively only as interesting as the people you follow (or, rather, as interesting as you find the people you follow to be). I guess it depends what you deem an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio: me, I enjoy skimming over the quotidian musings of other people (cf Facebook) and find some of it very entertaining, even if only for a moment or two.

But if you're expecting a non-stop open channel of wit and wisdom, Twitter is probably never going to be the place to go.

my favorite tweeter is "Brian Eno," who sends me an oblique strategy every morning.

He just old me to breathe more deeply.

I am not going to start following any more Big Name Producers. I am not. Oh, fuck it...

Grimly - have you given up on your desire to have them all sent to your phone as texts like the old days?

There are a few "brian eno"s on twitter. No idea if any of them are brian eno.

I'd like an oblique strategem every morning. That I would like.

Twitter is only good if you follow people you know well enough to actually care about the tiny minutia of their lives. I'd find it intrusive to follow a stranger. (latest big crush excepted, of course.)

Eddie Izzard gets it. He would, wouldn't he?

I didn't realise he was where the phrase "pears can just fuck off" came from.

Grimly - have you given up on your desire to have them all sent to your phone as texts like the old days?

Oddly, yes.

(Funny how an entire dynamic can change, though, isn't it? Twitter now is something very different to Twitter then.)

i am hoping brian eno oblique strats will change my life, thankig u, kenan.

Dean Gaffney definitely gets it.

"my 1000th follower will get a mars bar in the post from me"

Amusingly, it's now stuck on 997.

He already ate the Mars bar, dowsn't want to own up to it

twitter more like twatter

damnit, domain name taken by a stupid "agent"

a cylon agent?

How do I get all the twiiters I'm following to appear on one page.

ha, never mind. http://www.techcentral.ie/img/thumbnail%5Ccorporate%5Cold_person_computer.jpg

I was going to say.. I just type in twitter.com and boom, there they are ;)

Seems a bit anachronistic of Twitter to keep asking 'what are you doing now?' when that's clearly not what makes Twitter interesting.

Depth:

Can we agree that most Twitter posts are about little beyond the fact of their own occurrence? Is it too much of a stretch to suggest that something existential is afoot? Is the sum of human knowledge much advanced by learning, instant by instant, that Marc Jacobs is having his hair dyed black, that Marc Jacobs is eating a McDonald’s burger and drinking a Diet Coke, that the beautiful Patti Smith look-alike model Jamie Bochert just got engaged, that the handsome and heavily-inked hairdresser Lorenzo Martone is not Marc Jacobs’s boyfriend?

This piece then goes on to say that things are not well in the NYC fashion world because there's some sort of economic problem.

Every time I resolve to remove Stephen Fry he redeems himself with something like this:

Only trub with TwitterBerry is that I can't post pix. Bah, poo, botty and tit.

lol ned

i had to drop him, he was going nuts

Why is it so important for someone to follow you back anyway?

mutual respect and love

Where does etiquette stand on replying to people who dont follow you and whose feed is locked?

Christ that was an awful sentence. Anyway.
