Twitter
 
Does anybody on here use Twitter? It's not entertaining me because I don't have enough people to follow.

I Twitter, and rely on it on a daily basis. I have it set up that my Twitter updates automatically update my Facebook status. Love love love Twitter.

I follow a bunch of local journalists, and I get the news faster than logging on to the newspaper website, lol. It came in handy when we had the big blackout last December!

You can follow me!

Same here. I didn't think I'd be into it but am hooked. Very phone friendly app too! My username is different so PM if you want to follow me there.

What is Twitter? I don't understand it. Is it part of Facebook or something?

It's a site that allows users to post status updates like Facebook, but you're limited to 140 characters. It's become quite the trendy social networking site.

A bunch of local Tweeters had the Hawaii Twisteval last Thursday, an event that raised $6,000 for charity.

Lots of celebrities have joined the Twitter bandwagon as well -- John Mayer, Demi Moore, and Ashton Kutcher are by far my favorite celeb Tweeters.

The only people I really follow on Twitter are journalists: David Gregory, Ana Marie Cox, etc. I know very few people on there. Nobody in my area seems to be very into it, but I like it.

So it's a site of just status updates? Or can you post other things as well?

I don't know anyone on Twitter (although my sorority just started on Twitter). :(

People post links as well, but they tend to use tools that make the URL shorter, like tinyurl.com, since it's limited to 140 characters.

It's a big help during rush hour. People shouldn't be Tweeting while they drive, obviously, but I know which roads to avoid when I'm going home because of Twitter, lol.

Like AOIIAlum said, they've got really good phone apps.

Dr. Andy the Bachelor's in Waikiki watching the sunset with Tessa! Are they back together or aren't they? Read it all on Twitter!

I use twitteriffic on my iPod Touch and I love it because if I'm somewhere that has wifi, or even if I don't feel like getting up from the couch, I can read people's status updates and tweet while maintaining my laziness.

Sometimes I tweet about live-in while he's in the same room. He has twitterberry for his blackberry, too, so he gets them pretty quick. The Super Bowl was nuts.

KSUViolet06 02-15-2009 12:50 AM

I love Twitter. I keep up on alot of my sisters who live out of the area on it.

tld221 02-15-2009 11:07 AM

Question: how do I find you guys on Twitter? And is there a bb app?

agzg 02-15-2009 11:55 AM

The app for blackberry is called twitterberry. You can pm people and ask them for their usernames. Or they can pm you.

BetteDavisEyes 02-15-2009 12:13 PM

I recently joined but only have 11 people to follow so far. :p

tld221 02-16-2009 12:57 AM

So, I just downloaded Twitterberry, but have no one to follow but rick sanchez from CNN, which is how I heard about it first. Who am I going to follow? PM me!
