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.

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.
― a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 18 June 2009 10:02 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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 oilchrisbaskind @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.

http://twitter.com/David_Miliband is pretty obviously fake but do a Google News search on Michael Jackson and Miliband to see the Guardian, Mail, Mirror, PA et al all reporting the foreign secretary's tearful tribute. Jeez.
― Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 08:10 (fourteen years ago) link
I couldn't believe that (the reporting that is) when I saw it. Will this lead to Milband having to deny that it was his twitter but that, yes, of course, Michale Jackson, was the king of pop?
