So will you be tweeting? Or do you want us to tweet for you? I'm so confused.

feedtwat? isn't that a dirty word?

I won't be starting any more threads because tweeting is against my religion or something. It's like the guy who vowed to only eat one Lays potato chip. I want to be the only person in the world not tweeting, twitting, or watching this season of American Idol.

If I knew how to twitter, I would tweet.

What in the world is twitter, it sounds so flighty. Do you mean we will get our new threads that we post or all the new threads that everyone posts? I feel like I'm in a computer braille class- do they pay you enough to answer these questions? When you say text are you referring to text messages in a phone? If so, can you get either/or? And is twitter a public or editorial website or a messenger device that is automatic? I'm so glad you told us about this cause I know you want to help us, but probably at this time you exited this post to look for a gone fishing smiley-LOCK. There's something about a closed door that makes me want to open it. Hence, the tiger avatar- teetering on the edge past the nine lives myth...

Sign up for twitter, subscribe to the sowal twitter, set your preferences to notify you of any changes, stand away from cell phone and watch it explode.

I'm supposed to start twittering (tweating?) for my church as part of my communications job. There's nothing I can think of more boring than tweating religious stuff.

Lord help me.

I'm not sure what you mean. I suppose I am hesitant to sign up without having more info because right now I get so much spam(has now increased to over 300/day-somebody in Nigeria is desperately trying to give me a large sum of money-yeah right)- side effect of computer learning curve.

Is the twitter thing spam-proof?
They have an address on twitter where you can report spam, but it didn't say if spam could be blocked(googled it).

Also, would only be interested in email part/not phone part-still am not sure if this is available after studying it. Cell phones annoy me- only have them for contact purposes. Phone solicitors-grrr-they seem to have the same thing in common, they don't understand what NO means!

There should be a spam/text/phone call castration button instead of just delete cause they can keep contacting you.

Sometimes just trying to formulate the question to access info is a task. Then, when I get info on WHAT something is, next is HOW to do it, and lastly, the question of what are the negative side effects-like unwanted info, etc. Thanks for the response

My teenager just informed me in a rather disgusting tone as if I was an idiot that tweating is the action of using twitter- I'm so glad that teenagers know everything!

Hey alley cat, good to hear from you- about your note- if you could send the pic of you from your profile page to the people that receive your twitter messages, they would love it no matter what you send them- love that look on your face!

Your last sentence would be a good starting point.

Nothing is spam proof. The only way to have a spam proof email is to register something like CY3lXV0c@gmail.com and never use the address or give it out, ever.

The reason I posted the original statement was part humor and part reality. When you sign up for twitter you can "follow" people. You can also tell the site to forward every tweet that someone you are following to your cell phone in the form of a text message. Since sowal is set up to send out a tweet every time a new thread/blog is posted your phone would go nuts all day long and into the night.

Twitter is just another tool in the arsenal of high tech stalking.

**Beauty hunter** · 06-10-2009, 04:19 PM

Hey Jeb2012- you're hilarious- always love the witty truths you throw my way- very entertaining!

Yea, I think I'm going to pass on the twitter thing at the moment- still not finding a good enough reason to use it. Still looking for a tech program that pours money into my bank account- let me know if you hear of one. So far all the techy things I know are intent on sucking it out!

Who are these idiots in Nigeria with the scam spams? I know I'm not the only one getting them. They all seem to be religious, disaster-prone, liars trying to give away their puppies and children. I want to respond so bad, but have restrained. I did get in touch with the FBI, but they already have it listed in their complaint box. Geez- the new set of problems to deal with in tech-land!

Have a good one- always good to hear from you!
