Twitter - Page 29

innerSpaceman · 08-16-2008, 12:51 AM

my biggest block to twitter is i can't twitter on the go. i have no mobile 'net connection, and my current cell plan won't even let me text to twitter.

I'd really like to get some friends tweeting who i don't see enough of in real life, and who i don't message board with anymore. It would be a good way to maintain some connection. Right now, most of the people i follow or who follow me are from here, the LoT ... and we have, well, the LoT.

So i appreciate my 3 las vegas friends on twitter who don't post on the LoT (well 2 are technically members, but they hardly ever post here). And i'd like to convince some of my other non-LoT friends to join twitter.

I love the haiku aspect of the character limit. Even though i posted 4 tweets in a row a little while ago, they were each on a different subject.

But i wouldn't have to play catch-up like that if i could just tweet in real time like everyone else. But i'm not sure that twitter is enough reason for me to go to the expense of getting a device and plan with mobile internet access.

Yes, i still have a plain old cell phone. How 2006 of me!

If I had a phone like Alex or iSm I'm sure I wouldn't enjoy twitter either.

Twitter has definitely fit a very specific niche for me. I only tweet selectively, when I have something interesting to say that fits the 160 char lim style. If I have something major I'll say it elsewhere, I don't respond to tweets very much at all, and I don't follow everyone. I cut back a bit and may cut more. Doesn't mean I don't care for the people involved, just means I can't keep up.

I forget about it most of the time. Then I'll tweet like crazy and then forget about it again.

I don't have a smart phone either - and I've only managed to log into mobile Twitter once. So for me it's not so much the on-the-go following of friends. I don't get any updates via phone - though I do tweet via text if there's something interesting going on, particuarly if I'm out and about doing things that are unusual. I like seeing people's habits and patterns, and unlike LoT, if there's something urgent or upsetting or very cool going on in someone's life, it's gathered in the one spot (unlike here where I have to make it through all of the appropriate threads before I know all the big news. Which I don't mind doing, but don't always have time for.)

Would that fall under urgent or upsetting or very cool?

I went to see who two new people were that decided to follow me. When I clicked on their account names. I saw this for each:

This account is currently suspended and is being investigated due to strange activity.

BTW: the people were "nikebren42" and "goodrichrich45"
