    love it or hate it, its here, its queer, get used to it.


    www.twitter.com

    you have a username, your username is preceeded with an @ sign.

    For Example: @BTOWN_HUSTLA



    from there, you share whatever is on your mind, news, opinions, links to a blog.....that is called a TWEET. Its like 140 characters or less, which is the limit of characters on a text message.

    Its useful most for news organizations to break news before the general population. basically its a faster way to read RSS feed news, unverified shit, etc...that's what I use it most for...more personal stuff I do on facebook.

    I would suggest y'all start tweeting.

    @GOripCity don't overpay for Ariza. he had a good playoff run but I don't think its sustainable over the length of contract. he wants $10/y4:55 PM Jun 30th from web in reply to GOripCity

    ok, so in this one you're tweeting @GOripCity, or is (s)he tweeting you?

    when there is a @USERNAME at the start of a tweet, that is a direct reply to @USERNAME's tweet...so I'm tweeting a reply to a tweet that GORIPCITY did.

    Maybe I'm missing something but twitter's only attraction seems to be for people desperate for attention and those people desperate to pay them attention.

    I doubt I'll ever participate at either end as I see no useful purpose for it.

    no, its a faster way of getting breaking news..often faster than the TV, Radio or having someone design a webpage. Its useful for someone to share articles they found useful online or provide insight.

    Thank goodness for twitter. The internet just wasn't generating enough spastic thinking all on its own.

    Wish they could have called it something else. Twitter sounds like of retarded.

    Yes, you're right of course.

    How else would we have learned of Jeff Goldblum's tragic plummet to death? :NOTMARIS:
