yes, I got a few of those requests now - actually several from the same person! lol I checked it out, but what's so cool about it? just curious! .. I may join. I kinda couldn't work it out. it's kinda between an instant messenger and a blog site? :)

Yes..you kinda got it. It's an interactive blog. Unlike LJ and other blogs though, you can only post small messages, up to..I think 140 characters. You're not meant to write big personal things, but rahter just what you are currently doing or something that you saw and found amusing and want to share with your friends or the world, or just something that popped up in your mind and want people to know. What's good about it and makes it so interactive is that you can post updates through web, but also via IM or text message. Also, when any of your friends update, if you set the notifications right, you can get their updates through IM or text too, so you can even in a way have conversations through it. I think it's really cool and different and can be quite fun!

Is Twitter accessible for blind people? Just wondering, I'd want to know before I signed up for it.

## Post 5 by InternetKing (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Monday, 26-Nov-2007 20:56:40

Yes, the website is definitely very accessible. The only thing is when signing up they have that visual capture imige. They do have audio alternative, but sometimes it doesnt work, so you may need some sighted help. Once you sign up though, the website itself is very accessible. Like I said, you can also recieve twitter updates via SMS. You are meant to interact with twitter through AIM too, but for some reason their AIM bot is very unstable. If you use skype, you can recieve al the updates from any friends that are on your twitter through skype and you can also update it through skype. If you do sign up and wuld be interested in how to set up twitter for skype let me know or cotact me directly and I'll be glad to help. This goes for anyone else that's interested and of corse it goes fo any other aspect of twitter you might need help with.

Cool, thanks for the info.

## Post 7 by singingsensation (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 17-Aug-2009 20:07:21

Okay, I'm having a problem trying to set up an account with Twitter:
Every time I click the create my account button, it doesn't create it! Anything I can do differently? What should I do?
Thanks,
Macy

Ok. I have a twitter account. My username is in my profile.

## Post 9 by InternetKing (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Monday, 08-Feb-2010 10:48:58

Wow, haha I totally forgot about this board post. What caused you to look at it and resurrect it? Lol, but OK, I'll look at your profile and add you to twitter then.

## Post 10 by InternetKing (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Monday, 08-Feb-2010 11:00:21

Lol and I just looked at previous posts so I guess we did have a conversation on here about it. Anyway, I added you, I warn you though, if you are easily offended, you probably shouldn't add me back. Otherwise feel free to do so and if you wish feel free to check out the profile and check me out on other ways to communicate.

Wow Twitter was around 2 years ago? My relationship with Twitter goes like this. I made an account to see what it was all about, forgot about it, then deleted the account. This was almost a year after creating it. Not long after, about last Summer, I resurrected the same account, and has been using it ever sinse.
I'm still hesitant about adding people, but it's not Facebook, where i'm quite a bit more strict on who to add.

## Post 12 by InternetKing (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Monday, 08-Feb-2010 15:04:36

More than 2 years ago. I've been on there since at least 2007. I would never post anything too personal on twitter, so I don't really care who adds and follows me. Whether I add them back depends on how interesting I find the person, but generally, unless someone is a spammer, is advertising something especially something I'd never be interested in, is religious nut (in the sense that religion is all they talk about and constantly keeps trying to convert/convince others who might not believe in what they do or the way they do it to do so), or I for some reason find them boring or annoying, I'll add them back. Who knows, a new friendship might be made that way and I have met some new cool people whether directly through twitter or people who just found me on here or elsewhere, decided to add me and we just ended up talking.

## Post 13 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Monday, 08-Feb-2010 15:11:33

Hmm. Should I get an account....I don't know.

## Post 14 by Pure love (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Monday, 08-Feb-2010 15:29:37

I have two accounts. Not because I'm just crazy, but because on one I am adding christians and post christian stuff, on the other account I just post my day to day stuff about what I'm doing and my random thoughts. Funnily enough I have more followers on my christian account but that's not what counts. Feel free to add me, my "normal" account is in my profile.

well, i guess you do learn something new everyday, cause i didn't even kno twitter had been around that long either. lol, i have an acount, but it's not in my profile, and i only give it to people i kno...meaning, people who let me kno who they are first, as my tweets are protected, so i need to conferm or block the request anyway. that's my main rule when it comes to twitter.

## Post 16 by Pure love (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Tuesday, 09-Feb-2010 8:37:50

I usually accept everyone at first and if I see that they advertise something I really don't need, I block them again. I know it's stupid that way but I@m just nosy and want to know what they have to offer. Silly I know. Also I sometimes use twitter to update both my twitter and my facebook status and I could not do that with protected updates, I think.

## Post 17 by Brooke (I just keep on posting!) on Tuesday, 09-Feb-2010 10:02:28

I didn't know Twitter was around in 2007 either. I'm not usually into the whole social networking thing, but I joined Twitter and have had a lot of fun with it so far.

## Post 18 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Tuesday, 09-Feb-2010 10:49:04

I have lots of fun with Twitter as well, but I don't add just anyone. I have to get to know people first; the same goes for Facebook.

## Post 19 by maroon five (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Tuesday, 09-Feb-2010 16:06:19

i have lots of fun on twitter, but i'm a much privator person than i used to be these days, so just adding people just because is out of the question. sure, if you want my twitter, then message me, and if i kno you, or have talked to you before, or don't think your a creep, then you may get it. however, giving out something like facebook or skype or msn never happens until i kno someone better, (i consider them way more personal and private), so i need to kno a person for weeks/months before thoes get given out.

## Post 20 by singingsensation (I just keep on posting!) on Sunday, 21-Feb-2010 18:12:15

Are there anygood accessible programs besides Qwitter that can work with Twitter?
Thanks!
Macy

## Post 21 by cuddle_kitten84 (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 22-Feb-2010 11:31:52

I've got a twitter account, address in my profile. i don't protect my tweets any more, that way celebs etc can see your replies. feel free to add me, i usually do block spammers or advertisers so beware.

## Post 22 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Tuesday, 23-Feb-2010 12:38:26

but how do you tell who's a spammer on twitter?

## Post 23 by DevilishAnthony (Just go on and agree with me. You know you want to.) on Friday, 26-Feb-2010 7:51:33

I finally broke down and got a twitter account and got qwitter. I'm hopelessly hooked now. I got a twitter account a couple of years ago, and deleted it, thinking that it was boring, but now that I have qwitter, I love it. Haven't yet figured out how to get twitter to update my facebook though.

## Post 24 by sabby (Generic Zoner) on Wednesday, 10-Mar-2010 9:09:21
