Twitter C/D

of course being me I would say the same for pretty much everything "web 2.0"

actually, i'd follow a tombot twitter feed. furious cynicism at unexpected moments could be fun.

i guess twitterific might step up to the plate here, but then again: it can't run in the background on the iPhone, can it?

(this, incidentally, is my first ILX post from my shiny new iMac.)

Used it cause I was excited (are you still an early adopter a full year after the SXSW explosion of use?), then didn't for a few months cause I didn't really see the point, now I'm usin it again cause I've had some new local friends start following me.

Good for questions, link-sharing, Microemo bursts, etc.

I have a friend who uses this to read his friends' feeds, so I basically only see it from the angle of a person who is constantly checking his phone while I'm trying to have a conversation with him. The first time I heard of Twitter was from him when I finally got exasperated with his constantly checking his phone.

Maybe I'm the one with the problem, but I can't really think of anyone in the world interesting enough for me to want updates on their activities throughout the day. I'd say the only people I could imagine wanting to twitter could be: Drug smuggler, violent prison inmate, Slash-in-his-heyday type rock star, and a dog (if they somehow managed to translate its thoughts into English text).

don't use it, don't know anyone who does, but i check this one all the time: http://twitter.com/MarsPhoenix

i very very rarely check it on my phone. does mobile use seem to be the prominent use?

SMS functionality seems to be its USP now that Facebook status updates have taken the mainstream microblogging space.

As I said above, people using it for pushed news bulletins and question-broadcasting rather than personal what-i'm-doing stuff is another application.

(I think you can now do Facebook by SMS in America, actually, but not here)

SMS is a fucking trilobite technology

I followed @johncleese back when his followers were in the double digits.

Seriously someone FedEx me a fucking medal already.

how the fuck are they planning to make money? Also, they could easily have charged for this in Europe, and at least started making some actual income for a change.

so: brightkite, then. anyone played about with it much? i'm not sure i can particularly be arsed, TBH.

Twinkle is useful to see if there's trouble on my tram line or the local cafe is on fire.

ON IPHONE

Brightkite seems particularly marvelous, actually. Like Twitter with upgrades.

mildly diverting for a bit

http://joshblog.net/projects/roktok/roktok.html

well, it would be if only folk would stop talking about coldplay and radiohead

oh

it combines the top artists from last.fm (coldplay, radiohead) with twitter

no potential to divert at all now

Ah right!

just seen this:

TwitOrFit is Twitter-meets-HotOrNot
http://uk.techcrunch.com/2008/12/15/twitorfit-is-twitter-meets-hotornot/

How did you score?

fyi i tweeted this morning

twitter in gmail: http://twittergadget.com/

Apparently 'twitter' means 'hermaphrodite' in German.

fyi slocki and i are tweeting with each other

just to give u all an update

Stop that, you'll go blind.

max's tweets are cool

and if you pay a nominal monthly fee, you can have your free speech shoved directly at innocent bystanders who will feel the need to take a shower immediately afterward

tbh they always say free speech isn’t free

look the state of Twitter ain't great, it's being slowly taken over by porn bots and really gross ads like this "Liver King" one I keep getting where it's a really gross roided out Macho Man Randy Savage looking dude sticking his head into a slab of raw beef or whatever. I think it's still in better shape than Facebook which I can see has really been taken over by AI generated engagement bait which works really well on the platform because its average user is not online savvy at all

lol I've been seeing Liver King, too

liver king has bled through his soul to bring you the truth, you ingrates

once i saw one about how he hasn't washed his hair or beard in years (bc decadence, or something) but i guess that didn't test well because never again

I mean like none of the apps can possibly be good anymore because the apps industry has determined that the thing that generates the most money is short form vertical video telling people to bet on sports, that's all the internet is for now

eventually TikTok and Fanduel will be one app and there will be no apps after that

How many album titles beginning with 'N' can you name?

Nebraska - Bruce Springsten

Never mind...

didn't they debunk the liver king as being on roids?

he was (is?) on ten thousand dollars of steroids a month, idk how much steroids cost but that seems like a lot

yea I'm pretty sure it's impossible to look like that otherwise

no you just need to eat more raw liver

you can only aspire to liver prince until he dies from causes unrelated to liver

skips leg days

Something I've noticed is that there will be tweets w numbers of "Views" listed as being in the tens or h a hundreds of thousands (or more), but which have only a handful (if that) of likes and/or replies. Seems slightly off...
