Dammit! It took me forever to figure out Twitter - now I have to figure out an invite?

The Luddites struggle with liberty networking....

Someone please tell me what all this fascination is with Twitter and Facebook.

What's wrong with simply having one's own web page and updating it for important stuff?

Seriously, I just don't get it....

[AlexMerced]

Twitter is just good for getting a lot information quickly, it really does help me keep up with news and events efficiently

also if suddenly we all followed each other the flow of info would be pretty useful

well facebook is a social networking site that allows alot of communication. Alot of housewives and high school reunions and much more. it is more adult then myspace! My wife uses it to communicate with family and friends!!! i use it occasionally! twitter is just like a quick news source or text system used to market or display ideas or stupid stuff...

both have good demographics!!!

For me, I have an iPhone with TweetDeck. Twitter is an awesome tool for getting the pulse of virtually anything going on. It really helps figure out where people are leaning on particular days. Some people use it to post personal things like what they ate and so forth, and I find that unnecessary. However, as a way of spreading information virally and instanteously, Twitter is the best thing out there, IMHO.

I guess I'm just a dinosaur...

I've looked at both Facebook and Twitter, and I find them both to be useless and insipid at best, and annoyingly intrusive more often than not. If I want friends or family to know what I'm doing, I can send an email in seconds from my Blackberry. I can get breaking news texted to me from any number of news sources.

OP, sorry if this diverted the thread. I've been wondering what the vast attraction to these services was. Thanks for the info. Guess I had better start shopping for retirement homes; the world has officially left me behind!


So... as you were! Exchange away!!

I think if we are to be serious about Paul winning the primary we need to be able to capitalize on twitter, and especially the Trending Topics option. If we could do tweet blasts to get him trending it will really help generate interest.

We're great with other online technology, but seem absent from twitter. If we could just harness the kind of power the Justin Bieber (who is always trending) fan base has there we could do a lot of good.

I have everybody above this point.

Cinderella, you have to sign up, then follow people. Next time you log in, you'll see the messages from the people, and only the people, that you follow.

I had trouble making an account - I forget how I fixed it though. What kind of trouble do you have? Maybe it will jog my memory.

[MelissaWV]

I am not a twit.

I don't Twitter.

I don't Twitter or Facebook or Myspace or any of that jazz, either I call and email and (super rarely) text. Texting, though, is more for when I want to remind someone to pick something up from the store and they've already left.

[tangent4ronpaul]

Correct verbage is "I don't tweet", and I don't either.

Walshgate: How come top Mass. Dem couldn't hook up with Rachel Maddow by more traditional means?
By adamg - 3/5/10 - 7:47 pm
UPDATE: Maddow declares she isn't running; appreciates a good joke as much as anyone.

OK, so it was kind of interesting this morning that some people had set up a Facebook page to try to convince MSNBC talent and Northhampton resident Rachel Maddow to run against Scott Brown in 2012 (they're now 5.2% of the way toward their goal of getting 10,000 people to sign up). It got even funner this afternoon when John Walsh, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, got wind of the boomlet and posted what sure seemed like it was meant to be a private message on the Tweety:

Some are talking about you running vs Scott Brown in '12. I'm Chair of MA Dem Party. My email is johnewalsh@Comcast.net cell-617-650-9311

Apparently I'm not the only one disappointed to learn that politicians don't have instant access to everybody's phone numbers (you know how losing candidates always call the winning candidate on election night - where do they get their phone numbers from?) - there's now a Twitter discussion on #walshgate. And please, for goodness sake, don't go calling Walsh and asking if his refrigerator is running.

Amy Derjue, who has some familiarity with Twitter issues, provides this thought:

#walshgate is like clicking "reply to all" in Outlook. But to the whole internet. Cue overwhelming paranoia whenever DMing from now on.
