I stopped following Twitter last year because it was getting boring. The only time it was half way interesting was when people would post photos or leak material.

tumblr. fucking smug #whitepeople being arch about pop culture! this site is where awful, self-righteous opinions go to slap each other on the back.
I thought tumblr was for looking at pictures of pretty boys and pretty dresses.

yeah i was bitching about tumblr to someone else today and we both realised we were bitching about completely different things - sara was hating on the alt.twee photo tumblrs, i was hating on the #whitepeople opinions text tumblrs. both of us were right. i never saw the point in following photo tumblrs, myself.

I don't really bother w/fashion magazines anymore so it's a nice way to see Vogue/Elle etc.
― Peyton Flanders (Nicole), Friday, 4 March 2011 20:25 (thirteen years ago) link
A lot of the meme-related postings are annoying/infuriating though.
i was hating on the #whitepeople opinions text tumblrs.
I have no clue what this means, do you have any examples?

If you begin a tweet with @charliesheen, people will not see it in their feed unless they also follow @charliesheen.If you do not begin a tweet with @, that tweet will show up in your feed for everyone who follows you.
If you do not begin a tweet with @, that tweet will show up in your feed for everyone who follows you.
There's a pseudo-convention of beginning a tweet with ".@" if you want your reply to be seen by your followers. e.g. .@charliesheen if you want everyone to see it - not just people that follow you and @charliesheen

I don't mind people who do the '.@' thing, but most of who I follow only do it for stuff like serious political debate that I find interesting

lots of tech ppl I follow are now signing up for identi.ca because they're pissed off with the "we'll make all the clients, thanks" Twitter steez. Website's honking, but some old Twitter clients work with it, at least.
― stet, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 23:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Common practice has become to start a tweet this way—".@charliesheen"—with the period in front of the name to make sure it's seen by everyone you want to see it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 23:28 (thirteen years ago) link
xp I've had an identi.ca account for ages but never bothered using it because I don't know anyone else with one. There's an iphone app that does identi.ca but buggered if I can remember what it's called.
