That is an unbroken run of tweets from Alan McGee's account.

@DrownedinSound YOU USELESS CUNTS GETTING A NAME CHANGE TO DROWNEDINSHITE THAT'S WHAT'S EXCITING ME GUYS PLEASE HAVE A THINK ABOUT THIS
34 minutes ago from web

Is it really him though?

I've always assumed it's not: I mean, McGee's a bit of a cock but not THAT much of a cock, surely?

Twitter is over capacity.

First time I've seen that. Is Stephen Fry back or something?

Internal "newsflash":

New earthquake in Haiti 15 minutes ago

http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/3248293/New-quake-hits-haiti

Twitter can’t cope with the demand and is again ‘over capacity’

please spare a thought for Pixie Geldof in her time of need.

Thought it must be that. Heaven knows wht'll happen if there's more snow.

just saw this on the CNN ticker. Gates joined:

Bill Gates: "I've got a lot to learn about Twitter but look forward to sharing more."

You're the guy who invented Windows and has more fortune than many nations on Earth. I think you can get your head around Twitter pretty quickly.

john mayer is the best celebrity on twitter, no lie

HUMPS! http://twitter.com/DonnieWahlberg

How do celebrity accounts get verified? How much of a celebrity do you have to be allowed certification?

I love Tom Hanks. And I love that Tom Hanks ends all his twitter posts with "Hanx."

The @diditleak guy passed away last saturday and i just want internet/music people to know his story because many of us benefitted from his hard work:

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2010/01/the_life_and_de.php

sad story, very touching article. RIP

Good read. I do like that Jim DeRo contacted him for tips. I'm assuming he is the Chicago Sun-Times writer mentioned.

I'm sure someone else will have said it already on this thread, but I really appreciate Andrew WK's twitter: http://twitter.com/AndrewWK

i love sarah silverman's but im a fan so no surprise there. i cant get addicted to this thing and i kind of want to. i think its all my grad school followees tweeting 10 times a day that they're reading. its like REALLY!?!?!?!

"PARTY TIP: Don't be a fucking wimp."

http://blog.twitter.com/2010/02/measuring-tweets.html

50 million (non-spam) tweets per day currently.

And only 49,990,000 of those daily tweets are from "social media experts"/"property investment advisers".

this is probably better than facebook, isn't it

Every public tweet, ever, since Twitter’s inception in March 2006, will be archived digitally at the Library of Congress.

^large part of me is a bit uncomfortable about this

why?

twitter being archived is some krapp's last tape shit.
and the First Twitter feels odd and flimsy

tl;dr

http://media.twitter.com/392/tweets-quotes

I have no idea how a hole this large could be left in a service as popular as Twitter, nor do I understand why it hasn't been shut yet. What I do understand, though, is that Oprah is following me right now, and receiving my DMs. So anyway, here's how it works:
1. Open the Twitter web interface (I haven't been able to get it to work in the apps I've tried)
2. Tweet "accept username", as in "accept oprah"

According to an e-mail we received this morning, the Twitter bug and ensuing 0 followers/0 following fiasco was inadvertently started by a Turkish fan of heavy metal band Accept. When this young man tweeted “Accept pwnz,” he found that the user @pwnz was suddenly following him.

http://mashable.com/2010/05/10/twitocalypse-heavy-metal/

awesome, shit straight imploded and then reformed

Is it worth it to be on Twitter, do you think? I'm thinking of joining again, but every time I have in the past I was on there for a really short amount of time before quitting.

It's worth because you get stuff like this:

DAVID_LYNCH

This weekend I hope to install three red-gloved hands.

"Worth" it? I don't think it's anything other than a fun way to kill some time, unless you're someone who needs to network with writers or comedians or fans.
