Twitter C/D

i think i might get one, realised there was quite a few folk who i'd like to follow. Though no doubt my tweets will be ultra inane.

you follow but you cant dm until they follow you back. kinda dumb but cuts down on spam i reckon.

I RECKON

obviously with the caveat i made two posts above.

not rude, I just spend an inordinate time trying to figure out why ppl I don't know would follow me is it

It's depressing when 99% of people who start following you are not actual people but evil spam bots.

evil spam bots or otherwise people who just seem to have nothing in common with you. that's unfortunate, because i'm always looking for cool new people/entities to follow.

everyone should follow my friend @bookbrothel and join in on her book-related contests! (She has a lot of publishers anxious to send people free books.)

pourmecoffee has some pretty funny deadpan commentary on us politics

markknoller - CBS news radio white house correspondent. live updates on what's happening & all obama events, white house press conferences, etc. he's v straightforward about it & not snarky at all which i really appreciate.

seanbaby wrote that mencia twitter blog and oh my it was funny

Hahah is that what Seanbaby has been up to? Bless his heart.

OK, this guy:

If you're Following 1,000+ people including moi, I might suggest sending moi an @ mention before I BLOCK you. How's that? Talk to me.

there's all kinds of music bloggers or whatever that have 3x as many followers than me, and they all follow 1,000+ people. Just adding people to juke your stats number is the saddest shit in the world imo

I don't know anything about all that. I just can't believe this smarmy douche and his use of "moi".

Talk to me.

I've heard that "post on my wall!" is the new "call me!"

"BEEP! BOOP!"

ADULTS

Any suggestions for software or websites to manage multiple twitter accounts (on Windows)?

I've ended up with 3 twitter identities with distinct purposes and am finding it a real pain to switch from one to the other. I'd love a website where I could quickly select which one I was viewing or posting as via a simple drop down box, or via a series of tabs...

Is such a thing possible? Available?

Trying http://www.twitiq.com/ which offers what I was looking for.

Looking good initially.

A google for 'managing multiple twitter accounts' gave me a plethora of choices. Anyone used this one or any others?

I use twhirl, very sleek and basic interface, which I like.

I don't have multiple accounts but it provides the option to add more and more.

So let me get this straight, if someone with a protected feed starts watching you, you don't automatically get to see their protected content? Isn't that how most social networks work?

I don't have multiple accounts but it provides the option to add more and more.

There's one account for the friends and one for stalking pop stars and the foods they eat. Never confuse the two.

#spymaster can #suck my knob. People are going to get unfollowed for that shit, stat. (No ILXers doing it, mind. Which is telling.)

yeah ILX ppl I'm following have been generally abstained from hashtag wankery, which is nice.

This is kinda awesome: http://www.vandenbrande.com/wp/2009/06/breadbox64-a-twitter-client-for-the-c64/

Twitter downtime gets delayed for Iranian election news

yeah i'm pretty impressed by that tbh

Yeah, and it's quite something how Twitter has grown out to be the biggest source of information from Iran, since most journalists are being thrown out or held in prison.

Mentioned sausages last night on twitter. Checked my @ messages this morning. Discovered this dude / dudette - http://twitter.com/AllTheSausages - pretty fucking flabbergasted.

That's ... frightening, in a word.

I for one would like to congratulate our twitter overlords for overthrowing the government of iran.

background image of sausage twitter LOOKS DELICIOUS.

There is another twiterrer (tweeter?) that does that except for all tweets with the word "cunt". And he even directed it at me so I was massively confused at seeing the exact same msg from two people.

LOL I've been such an Abe Simpson on this thread =)

haha - I was also RT'ed by the sausage guy a few weeks ago!

Anyone using Tweetdeck FOR IPHONE?

^ Just installing it now. (Haven't upgraded to 3.0 yet, either. Because I am OLD-SKOOL.)

i'm reading the "trending topics" posts marked #YourGhettoWhen. it's somewhere between jeff foxworthy and "stuff white people like."

iPhone TweetDeck: initially confusing, quickly great. Syncing with the desktop version not quite as easy as it should be.

I'm not understanding the 'mark as seen' icon - it doesn't seem to do anything. Actually even the desktop version never seemed to remembered what I have cleared as seen.

Hmm. I hit it once and it got rid of an annoying red number at the bottom of the screen :) I'll need to use it in practice to see if it's actually doing anything else.

i did this last night. my first message was directed at cassie!

What is your Twitter name?

@whywontyougooutwithmecassie

Fuck's sake: I just sent an incredibly tedious @ reply in which I mentioned panini, and it's been RTd by Sandvich, which appears to be the most pointless bot ever. Twitter will eat itself ...

Major LOLs thanks to GOP Twitter users:

Earlier today, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) put up this astonishing post on Twitter, likening the oppression of the Iranian people to the plight of House Republicans:

Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House.
In the hours since, the Twitter community has responded -- with massive heckling. Here's just a small sample of some of the best ones:

ArjunJaikumar @petehoekstra i spilled some lukewarm coffee on myself just now, which is somewhat analogous to being boiled in oil

chrisbaskind @petehoekstra My neighbor stopped me to talk today. Now I know what it is like to be questioned by the Basij!

luckbfern @petehoekstra I stand in solidarity with the oppressed rich white men of Repub Party in the House. #GOPfail Allah Akbar!

aciolino @petehoekstra Today I poked my finger on a hanger. Now I know what all those aborted babies go through.

ceedub7 @petehoekstra I got a splinter in my hand today. Felt just like Jesus getting nailed to the cross.

netw3rk @petehoekstra Someone walked in on me while I was in the bathroom. Reminded me of Pearl Harbor.

MattOrtega Walked out onto Constitution Ave in D.C. and was almost hit by a taxi. Reminded me of Tienanmen Square.

tharodge @petehoekstra maybe now is a good time to reconsider whether you are ready for national politics?

TahirDuckett @petehoekstra ran through the sprinklers this morning, claimed solidarity with victims of Hurricane Katrina

paganmist @petehoekstra Had to move all my stuff to a new office w/o a corner view. Now i know what the Trail of Tears was like. #GOPfail
