OK, which one of you is @BARTSIMSON_REAL?

Haha pretty apt

"For instance," he said "this one guy @boring_as_heck, what a troll."

The Mountain Goats’ Twitter feed is manned by the California folk-rock band’s frontman, John Darnielle. From Siouxsie and the Banshees to Justin Bieber, Darnielle tweets about all things musical.

140? fuck no

hey i just got twitter who should i follow

i don't mean i just "got" twitter, i mean, i just got a new phone

i'm looking at this time list and it looks pretty terrible all around

This parody mash-up of Anthony Bourdain and Ruth Reichl won a James Beard award in humor for brilliantly mixing Reichl’s poeticism and Bourdain’s profanity. The feed tweets about fellow celebrity chefs and “barely legal scallops debauched by onions.”

can you please all go to hell

the very first two people you should follow are @utilitylimb (honoring an alltime great who never tweets anymore) and @dril

I won a James Beard award for brilliantly having a beard on my face

lol i knew enough to get on dril right away

you should read through all of @utilitylimbs tweets theres only 664

sort of a classics scholarly vibe to it then?

i know that # because his last tweet is that he is going to make tweet #666 but then he never did and i noticed that he only had 664 tweets actually.... what happened to the missing tweet????????? i am forever perplexed

prolly then u should do @crushingbort @tricialockwood @woodmuffin @lowenaffchen @digimonotis ... i dunno ... really u should just check anybody who u might want to follow's favstar and take it from there

@katienotopoulos, @fart, @dogboner, @crushingbort, @leyawn, @conortripler, @brendlewhat, @tricialockwood, @degg, @boring_as_heck, those ones are like the best of weird twitter imo, probably leaving some out

i half want to follow all of the #informers on this list and half want to crack my phone over the corner of my desk

xp yeah idk what a favstar is at this point in time

thx tho! will check out

yeah and @lowenaffchen and @woodmuffin, @digimonotis an absolute MUST FOLLOW

nah youre not going to love weird twitter youre going to love all the weird politics discourse

do you all recommend a 2nd party app for this? or do you roll with the basic twitter-twitter

the iphone twitter app is basically fine for anything you need to do

i think i can get down with some weird twitter (already on peanutfreemom)

i feel a little unnerved by the idea of actively having the thoughts of, say, jonah goldberg beamed into something that sits next to my balls

ya I love jongol

i'm still baffled by the fact that favstar is a real thing that people use

https://twitter.com/jonahnro/status/315488016019886081

ok here's a dumm q: when you follow people, do they know it's you? or do they just see a +1 on their number or w/e

they can see a list of their followers, yeah

eh well all right

did u use ur g'ment name? otherwise no fear

no!

this isn't one of those high school teacher following students concerns is it

i mean i think it did on accident for a second cos it pulled something from gmail into the profile, but i got rid of it.

xp lol god no i just wonder how much personal bullshit goes on i guess

there is some workaround that people use to see who unfollowed them but i dont think twitter itself tells people when somebody unfollows them

weird workaround technology gave us that wonderful elif batuman/guy who writes books about american apparel interaction

if you wanna be incognito, you can add ppl to a private list instead of following them, then just look at the list instead of yr timeline

twitter is real good in terms of the limits/dynamics of personal interaction, imo. i struggle with that kinda thing elsewhere but it is a v nice way to communicate with people. @goole. FAO goole. @ilx.
