    What do you guys use on your laptop or home computers. The old school twitter app officially shut down today for Mac. TweetDeck, EchoFone, TweetBot, Twitterrific?

    Trying to see which way to go on replacing it.

    The twitter app drains my battery, and I can't really see enough on tweetdeck for it to be practical for me on my phone, so I generally just use twitter in a browser tab, much like when viewing S2. Never tried any of the other options you listed.

    Yeah...Twitter is basically the primary medium for breaking news these days, so all the sportswriters use it constantly.

    You'd think with my background that I'd keep up. But no, I guess I'm too old. One of my younger nieces claims I was born before electricity.

    Born before electricity? I assumed you were hatched before childbirth was invented.

    For Mac, tweetdeck is free and from Twitter. It's a good option.

    I don't use it much at all.

    I used to build rocket launching equipment for Boeing, now that you mention it. In fact, there's a box that launches the most powerful nuclear missile in the world. It's got switches that actually fire the missile and indicator lights that signal "Missile Away". Guess who built it? Moir

    I thought only Trump and liberals used Twitter. That's also why I thought the Russians and Facebook didn't mean shit. I thought only liberals were glued to Facebook.

    You're like bizarro MarAzul or MarAzul from a parallel universe like the tv show Fringe.

    uh, is that a problem? A great many towns in Oregon did not have electricity until after WWII.
