Remember that creepy guy from the metro you posted about forever ago? It's probably him!

No his tweets are about passing out poolside amidst naked women - Hmmm maybe it's one of my imaginary lives going off on a bender

One of the "people" I subscribe to is SARAH - the house from Eukeka!. They are only one or two a week, and it amuses me.

Today's tweet is about a missing person (on the show) and includes a phone number. I am tempted to call it, but don't want to get my phone on a auto-dial list.

Among the fictional twitterers I'm following are: Sockington, a cat (I called him/her Socks earlier by mistake,) Stephen Colbert, Dr. Horrible, Barack Obama, and Alex.

The only one following me is Barack Obama. Wait! I think I hear his footsteps behind me now!

Am i cheating if i tweet 4 times in a row?

I threw in the towel on Twitter the other day. An interesting experiment but ultimately unsatisfying.

I guess the account is active so if I'm kidnapped int he woods I'll be able to let people know but I'm not getting them anymore.

The noise to signal ratio was atrocious and since a fair number of people don't use the @ I couldn't filter out the significant portion that were me just seeing one side of a conversation.

I'm enjoying posting into the ether and seeing if anything comes back. Most of the people I'm following are following each other, so, even if @ gets dropped, I can usually follow the connection. Once in a while I enjoy a good non-sequiter.

Oh look, a penguin!

I've severely cut back on my twittering frequency but still enjoy checking in on occasion and throwing the odd post in.

Alex · 08-16-2008, 12:33 AM

Within the circle I was in, I had two glaring omissions in who I had no interest in following but most others did.

Plus, since the text messaging function is the only way the service was of use to me (no access by web at work) with following just 10 people I was getting more than 100 text messages a day and so even vibration was annoying which made me turn off my ringer completely meaning I wouldn't know when I was getting actual calls or text messages of value.

I have only a few of my followees set to alert me, otherwise the damn phone would be constantly going off. That way, when I do check in, 10 or so msgs have stacked up and I can read 'em all in one fell swoop. I guess this wouldn't work if your phone doesn't have internet, though. I also don't receive alerts between midnight and 9 AM.
