no.

sorta... I don't really get it.

not really... I don't see the appeal with updating my friends/family everytime I make a move.

Well, I can definitely see how it can be over-used but the concept of "micro-blogging" is interesting.

It also seems to be used as an asynchronous group-IM thing.. I've been experimenting with it via GTalk (I don't use the website I have an IM contact called "Twitter" that sends me updates and that I can interact with via IM, sort of like an IRC bot).

I've started tracking a few interesting keywords (since I don't really know anyone specific to follow): currently "morons" and "star wars" just to see what comes up, and it seems that people have networks of mutual followings and use them to have distributed conversations..

Anyways, I was just wondering because I also don't really "get" the whole idea but I am curious..

I've had a Twitter account for a while that I always experiement with. I tried using it (successfully I might add) to integrate several services like my Google accounts with Jott & Sandy.

Currently I use my Twitter account to allow me to publish "micro-posts" via SMS from my phone to my WordPress blog.

Twitter also has "users" that are actually bots, such as Timer which allowed me to set and receive timed notices via SMS. Great for when I'm out and about and need a reminder of something in 45 minutes.

(I laughed my ass off when I read that PennyArcade strip.)

Hmm the idea of Twitter as middleware is very interesting.. If a service can push to Twitter and you poll from Twitter.. neat.

and timer is awesome

jar has a blog?

Yeah, right along with my other website, cichlisuite.com. Have you read it? My blog is more of a dumping ground for personal research where I might share some items.

"anything you do out of a suit" apparently involves fellating yourself.

let the one liners commence ... that ad just screams make fun of me.

"buy a suit and join the rest of the assholes who live life with their heads up their asses".

WOW!!! %100 Dacron!!!

he obviously makes better commercials than he does movies. that was great.

Snatch and Lock Stock were fun.

ZOMG!! I WANNA GO BUY NIKE PRODUCTS!!!!1 NOW NOW NONW NOW

yes, that was first rate, glad to see the pointy bra'd succubus hasn't sapped ALL of his talent yet.

wow! i can't even begin to imagine what that would have been like to film. It'd be funny if the steady-cam guy was some out of shape dude with a beer gut.

Pretty awesome.

That's how my parents' dog went ten years ago....

.

Your parents' dog was carried away by a large predatory bird? Sorry, but that's just.....hilarious. Was it a little white dog with weepy eyes? Cause if I was a large bird I'd be all over those ones.

Yeah, at Queen/Bathurst all the crackheads and winos are definitely not hiding out, cause they physically can't move. You don't need a camera to find out who's doing what.

But now we can take all that footage for Canada's next unscripted television hit, "the Rail World". It's not about crime - it's about ratings!

mwah mwah

^ OMG! are you fucking kidding me?

wrong and wrong... wtf. Both projects baffle the mind.

'democracy'

Yeah, totally! I invented this bogus newspaper called "The Times of London" two hundred years before I was born and eventually, when you were good and duped I dropped this little nugget on you...

No, it is real alright. I saw this on fox news while I was on a treadmill in a hotel in illinois last week and I seriously almost fell off.

The delusion continues.

I guess it's a good thing sometimes to have a brain the size of a pea.

haha...it's pretty bad if you can get impaled through your head and still be alive because 'it didn't hit any vital organs'. fuck pigeons. where do they fit in on the great circle of life?

I believe they count as food for snow plows and wood chippers, but nothing much else..

apparently they taste great on panini.

A delicacy to some, apparently. A chef buddy always raves about squab.

squab are amazing, but it's the difference between eating a country raised bird and a downtown hobo ass.

I've never heard of backslashdot before. Is that like a geek blog in Bizzaro World?

If by Bizzaro you mean Microsoft. Then yes.

Yes, you caught on to my joke precisely, much as I knew you would.. ;-)

you guys are so cute when you nurd out together.

gayest thread of 2008.

Holy Fuck, guys. :)

you're just jealous of our bonding

Card is a great writer, but isn't he also on the advisory board for Homeland Security? ...and a homophobe? ...and a bit of a religious nut?

or the cop when they find the moron with a gun and weed... 3 strikes.

start a record business??? i would think that kind of money could buy an entire empire.

apparently that would make him the richest man on earth.

well we definitely know he's the something-est man on earth already..

I want to know who the cheque was made out to, if not himself.

obviously you don't make out a false cheque to yourself...dat's how they catch you, fool!

not sure what the back story is (no time to go through the site) but shouldn't all that evidence have been packed up and stored? it's evidence - what about cold cases? maybe the evidence is right there - ie, the panties?

crazy...dude has some great posts.

Looks like peeps left in a hurry. Maybe this is why.

This is Detroit ... they can barely pay for the essential services they have right now. I have serious doubts they would have extra money in the police budget to go after cold cases.

i almost thought i was reading dianetics there for a sec.

TLF

I'm not suggesting that this story isn't disturbing, but i still think the Austrian case is FAR FAR more creepy. The repeated incestuous pregnancies and births is fucked up enough, but the whole imprisonment-in-a-cellar-with-NO-windows-since-birth part is TRULY whacked.

^ Yeah I might have to agree with you on that one. It's true that both are creepy as hell, but I think the Austrian case is way more fucked up and sadistic.
