Does anyone have twitter in here? Or do you know about twitter?
I have many friends who use Twitter. All are on my LiveJournal friends list and it drives me crazy when they post their twitterings in their ljs. They're very difficult/annoying to skim through using the tab key and many times, they're too visual for me to understand. But that's all up to the poster who chooses the written content in the posts. Anyway, from what I know about it, you have to upload photos on it. I don't think you can use it like Facebook to just write quick things, but I could be wrong.
I use Twitter very frequently. It's probably the social network I use most.
I'm the same as dave.
I use Twitter, just not much lately because I just haven't felt like it.
How do you make your Twittter Tweets appear on a Live Journal? I would like to do that.
I'm aware of Twitter, but first of all, this computer is shared, so I'm not always available to share every little thought when it happens. Second, and more important, I'm a long-winded writer, so something with a 140-character limit just would not suit me.
I use twitter, and rather like it. And no, photos are not what you have to upload. I do agree if people use twitter and post it to their lj they should put it behind a cut though. Another nice thing I can do with twitter is use it to update my facebook status. IT's fun to hear about what your friends are doing through the day, and let them know if you're doing something interesting. You only get 140 characters, so it's not like you can write a novel. You can get twitter updates sent to your phone, or view them on the website. Hope that somewhat answered your possible questions.
I just got twitter the other day and think it's pretty neat. very accessible to use with jaws as well.
omg I ahte blogging. back when all my friends were doing the livejournal thing I was so not there. Then came twitter and I am obsessed. I'm always uopdating, on the bus, at home, hell even walking to the mailbox. It weird but I'm an addict. So yeah I''m runawayjess so follow me.
If you don't wish to use the web site, there are twitter clients. I use one for the Mac called Twitterriffic. On my Ubuntu box, I use something called Twitux. On my Icon, I use the site called m.slandr.net to manage tweets. If you wish to update many social networks at once, I suggest getting an account on This handy service. I think you can update ping.fm via web posting, sms, and some of the instant messengers.
Yes, I use Twitter quite often, and love it. When I first heard about it a few months back, it sounded lame. But as I started reading the Twitters of friends, I thought it would be worth trying for awhile, and now I'm hooked.
Tifanitsa, no, you don't have to upload photos at all. In fact, there's very little that's visual about it, and it's far more accessible than Myspace or Facebook. Granted, you can do a lot more with those other two website.
And to the person who asked about clients to upload Twitters to LJ. My friend who does that uses an application called LoudTwitter. I don't know much about it myself, but you could at least research it.
My evolution as a twitterer is much like that described in message #11. That is, a friend told me of Twitter and even showed me Twitter in action on his talking smart phone. My initial reaction was "what a stupid concept". LOL. Two weeks later, I signed up, and now, I'm a compulsive tweeter. It's the most accessible social network out there.
I neglected to say that the most inaccessible part of Twitter is the captcha when you first sign up. But if you have Firefox and Webvism, you can get past that. I also think there's an audio work around, though of course it's extremely distorted. Also, speaking of accessibility, the LoudTwitter client I mentioned must be, because the friend of mine who uses it is totally blind and a JAWS user.
OMG I love twitter if anyone wants to add me my twitter name is meme6006 it is very addicting but I love it!!
Sounds kinda pointless to me. Although I'm not a huge fan of the social networks. The ones I'm in to the most are Zonebbs, and Cafemom.
I got twitter, but I'm more of a LJ person or a Facebook person. twitter just doesn't cut it for me.
My Twitter network gets a grade of 89/100 from egrader. That's a pretty powerful network, but what power do I have? I posed the question on Twitter and am awaiting answers from my followers.
I got twitter too. smile
would someone please explain to this social retard what twitter is? from i understand it is where people follow you around or something? my first question is why would someone want to do that? and the second one is who cares what I am doing? Please shine the light of understanding in to the dark void of my empty brain.
with twitter, you can just add it to your journal via the websight somehow maybe on lj, i did it ages ago and don't remember how and my twitter id is lights_rage
Hi, all. I figured that instead of creating a new topic, I'd just add to this one. Have any of you heard of a program called Jawter? It's still in beta, but it's a set of scripts meant to turn JAWS itself into a Twitter client. A lot of my blind friends like it, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to try to make this link clickable, so you can learn more about it if you want to. It's the link to the blog of the guy that invented Jawter, and I think at the bottom of his blog entry, there's a link to download it, and instructions for installing it. So, here it is:

I have an account but haven't used it since last June.
I really don't see the point of having more than 1 or 2 social networks.
I have twitter. I really like it a lot. my twitter name is razorsharpmind5 if you want to add me. My updates are provate though.

I also have Twitter. It's in my profile if you want to know my username. Feel free to add me.
Where's the register link or something on the home page of the twitter web site? i can't find it.
Hi Joanne,
It is a join link not register. I want to create an account there, but I can't pass the captia.
There is an audio work-around for the Captcha. I passed it before I ever had Firefox. It's a little hard to understand, so you might need a couple tries, but it's doable.
cool. i'll look at it later on today.
I luv twitter! Absolutely liv there. lol!
