Twitter Posted in a Battle Studies blog, but I felt it might need a thread of its own. Thanks a lot Mayer, as if I
didn't have enough online accounts. I find it creepy that people who sign up to read the page are listed as "followers"... it makes me feel like
I should put on some Nike shoes and pour a glass of Kool-Aid

I know, right? I wasn't going to create an account, just read the postings, but I found that comment way too endearing. He had 57 when I caved and joined.
Bad news is that there is a blackberry mobile version so I've been playing around with it even when I'm not on the computer. Yay for time suckage. Edit: Fred, yes, his picture is of one of the Jonas Brothers.

What IS Twitter? An over-the-top Facebook/Myspace, or what? Similar? -drew.

I went to the Twitter website to see what it was, and apparently a cake that I made last month was inspired by Twitter. It was for a children's theater
that put on a production of Romeo and Juliet in Roswell, GA. The cake was "designed" by the kids, but I think they basically lifted it from Twitter.
It had the same birds and branches as seen on the Twitter website and they were calling out "Romeo" and "Juliet" to each other. And I thought they were so creative!!! Hahaha!

And whoever you "follow" (I agree it sounds creepy as hell), you'll see their updates. I certainly didn't need another online account, either. I'm going to give it a week, but if it hasn't significantly enhanced my life, I'm dropping it!

I thought it was cute when someone pointed out to me that at Try.... Susi posted Tony Held's pictures from his twitter account and John is pointing to a
computer screen with Try on it. kinda like those photo's that just repeat. I know there is a name for them
now that is random. debbie 
it turns out he has a "roving penis " which prompted her to eject him from the magical land of constantly erect nipples...french publication |

I joined too, but I can't find John! Twitter seems kinda lame compared to Facebook because all you do is update what you're doing, or am I missing
more to it? I just want to follow John is what it really boils down to. I don't need another online account either, but I guess I'm such a
"follower" I did it...

Twitter is mostly just for updating what you're doing. Its all about being witty I guess? I just signed up for an account a few days ago.

This Twitter thing is kind of fun. I enjoyed getting a text (update) to my phone just moments ago...eau de Mayer? Funny.
What would that smell like? A mix of Nike leather shoes, patchouli.....I've got nothing else. |

Monica, click on the link in the original post, then click the follow button. Twitter is actually really addicting if you are prone to Internet addiction.
You can load in contacts from your Gmail or Yahoo! accounts, invite people, etc. Here's a good NYT blog post about what Twitter is and how to use it
