I like this guy:

http://twitter.com/dcurtisj

He seems to be in IT. He posts frequently and is funny, in my opinion.

my acct:

Please be careful if you decide to follow me. I don't want to be held responsible for you becoming addicted to the minutiae of my life.

If I were smarter I would probably just use my account to provide a constant stream of lame Twitter-related knock-knock jokes.

(Sample: Knock Knock. Who's there? Twitter. Twitter who? Twitter on the rear and you may face charges of sexual harassment.)

Unfortunately, it's usually just generically lame.

I'm on Twitter but I am fucking boring. I mostly read what Jesse Thorn and Jordan Morris are up to.

I started a Twitter a week or two ago, and I don't really feel comfortable posting it. So here it is: http://twitter.com/AaronNevins.

Merlin Mann is frequently hilarious.

Jonathan Coulton you may care about.

Of course, Jesse.

John Hodgman

Chris Hardwick

I'm still slowly finding my way around the AST community, so I'd totally follow ASTers. Post 'em if you got 'em.

The best thing about Twitter: it teaches mad summarization skillz.

If anyone cares, I'm twarting on twitter now. I can promise many, many "wow, this seems pointless" twarts initially.

Also, does anyone really like/use twitter? I am honestly struggling with the idea of yet another info stream.

i probably signed in every 2-3 days and catch up, don't post too often cause i waste it on a facebook status update instead. i'm currently looking into the facebook to twitter app, where it would just transfer my update. but then, why have a twitter.

I like LA updates and office tally for all my Office updates.

Mr. paul f. tompkins has just started a twitter as of this weekend.

John Kreese has a twitter as of this weekend too.


I think I prefer tumblr to twitter, it's like twitter, except without the character limits and I can upload whatever dumb picture I like. Which I obviously prefer.

That's kinda where I am with it all. The Twitter/Facebook interface is OK, but suffers from the tortured syntax problem, you need to remember that it is going to put your name in front of every update and plan accordingly.

Yeah that's what prompted me to think about it again. The quick interface of twitter/facebook seems a good match. Technically I already have a photo upload enabled blog at blogger but it's not a push. But frankly this might all be a dodge to keep me from doing real work.

I'm not sure why this bugs me so much, but it does. I instantly know who's updating their facebook profile on twitter because they all sound like Tarzan.

"John Smith eating lunch", "John Smith I like Friday nights" etc.

I think what bugs me most about twitter is that it takes the rather giant leap from assuming I want to know what you're doing day to day to wanting to know what you're doing moment to moment.

Of course, I'm assuming everyone wanted to know what I think of twitter, so call me King of the hypocrites (and MF'ers).

If that makes you a MF'ing hypocrite then Eugene hypocrite too. It bugs the hell out of me, one of the reasons I don't care much for it. At this stage in my comedy career I don't know where/ what I'm doing minute to minute, it'd be nice (assuming anyone actually cares) to be able to twitter where I will be bombing tonight.

I don't get what this is.

Is it for people who can't write slightly interesting or even long enough posts for blogs?


That's what messageboards are for!

[Gene George]

Ostensibly it's for push updates in bite sized chunks. Or for saucy one liners. Or for boring "I fed my birds, they are soooo cuuuute LOLOLOL" bs.

Well that settles THAT

[nadsat droog]

Other than following Shaq, I don't really see the point of this whole thing. I just read an article in Wired that said blogging is dead and Twitter is the future. That's a crappy future.

[darrylduffy]

this works alright: http://apps.facebook.com/fb-twitter/

facebook to twitter, and not the reverse. avoids the problem you mentioned earlier.
