Twitter C/D

Modified tweet (usually to make it fit into 140 characters once they've prefixed it with their own addition)

modified tweet or modified retweet or something

rt now stands for Racistised Tweet, when you have added an epithet to make the original author seem racist or more racist

thanks y'all re: MT

all right which one of you is @SantaKlausNomi

Haha yeah, I just got followed by him too. I for one blame Ned.

I only found out about Santa Klaus Nomi because someone completely non-ILX related retweeted him.

Wow, he sure started following a lot of ILXors.

i dont fav i just rt a lot

Price drop to US$36/yr (also US$5/mth), so I have ended up on app.net

I have ended up on app.net too.

yay! get felix if you're on an iphone, it's fantastic

btw app.net commands at least 90% of my social networking attention now, and isn't fraught with any of the garbage that turned me off twitter multiple times (obsession with fame, spam, echo chamber, etc.)

Wow, Felix is great. Thanks for the rec... BTW, I'm on app.net at @quartzcity

So of you who have moved to app.net, have people that you followed previously moved too? I can't imagine many of the circles I tweet in would.

really enjoying app.net

I keep social networks separate in general, but a handful of my twitter crowd (many of whom I know in person) made the jump, and many of those (like me) have basically given up on twitter. some haven't and won't, which is the only reason I keep the twitter pilot light going these days.

I'm maintaining dual citizenship for now. Twitter is still my primary social net of choice, but a fair number of one/few-man band development shops have been bigupping app.net. The potential of the platform seems interesting and the development/api/behind the scenes seems like Something I Should Know.

I'm intrigued, anyone got an invite? Or I can just pay $5 to try for a month.

Weirdly enough, I was just about to mention @glitchr_ here as well...

haha that is one of my favorite things about the internet

How does she/he do that?

RTL languages

i love all the glitch twitters but still have no idea how they do it

netbot free atm

How does Twiends work? In real simple talking-to-a-12-year-old-girl terms? For grubby reasons (hi, dickhead boss) I need to have what appears to be a high-powered Twitter account so I signed up to twiends dot com and just paid £20 for a bunch of 'seeds'. Any other less-dodgy (fuck it, or more dodgy) techniques for increasing followers?

(This is grim I know, goes against spirit of Twitter but I no option other than sleeping for 3 hours less a night)

if you need followers you can buy them on ebay

Have you, or anyone else on here, done this? Any tips for best one? Best being relative, obviously. Feels like I'm delving about in the sewers of the internet with this crap.

no but my understanding is that you basically just buy tens of thousands of twitter bots

That many might look suss, think I'm just gonna go for 1k for £10.

I would use the search box in the top right corner, find people and businesses related to the field your company is in, and follow them. Think of anyone who has a stake in your company--customers, vendors, whatever--and google their names and Twitter to find their Twitter accounts if they have one, and follow that.

Twitter is like the phone. Unfortunately, buying followers (unless a place is actually finding the best leads around you in some hand-crafted away) is like buying a bunch of dummy phone numbers.

Can't go into too much detail but this is basically something to show an arsehole boss to get them off my case. Well aware of the uselessness in real terms, and would never use this tactic on my genuine accounts.

Tweet "#porn #bieber #iphone #ladygaga" and the bots will come your way.

yes! just say 'ipad' and 'iphone' heaps

what's the trick to cutting down the signal to noise? relentlessly unfollowing boring ppl?

scroll faster

disable some people's retweets

retweet the tweets u find annoying

i find them all annoying

retweet all of them

the key for me is that i follow tons of basketball obsessives and then watch a lot of basketball with twitter on. i think that sort of live commentary is really where twitter seems most useful and entertaining. and it dramatically cuts down on the noise and the feeling that its 100 people having 100 different conversations.

Don't follow boring people to begin with. Make people earn their place in your life. Be choosy; there are plenty of amusing people out there tweeting.

Use a Twitter client that lets you mute hashtags.
