Secrets of the City

I asked somone to Twitter me once, but they said that would be an extra $50.

It’s no surprise that WCCO’s Jason de Rusha tweets,

lol

I twitter too. Who else? Follow me, boost my ego.

Yeah, what’s Schmelzer suggesting by the “no surprise” comment?

Twitter is how I keep up on Minnie!

There’s also Chuck, Alexis, S4xton, Bryan, Marina, Paul, Ben, Johnny, Margaret, Angie, Ranty, Gretchen, and Garrick.

And me. And Sailor Martin, of course.

You’re welcome to follow me…I’m just not that exciting…unless I’m in Vegas partying down with Celine Dion.

Oh, great, Rex. Now we’re all going to be inundated by political twitter accounts pretending to be interested in our lives but really just wanting to propagandize.

Actually, Sailor Martin gets none of those ever. I guess they know he can’t vote. Because of his prison record.

Follow me. Follow me to freedom!

(Apologies to Charlie Steiner, but hey man, I can’t help it that that’s what you’ll always be remembered for.)

HHmmmm…

I opened a twitter acc’t. I think I’ve posted about three times. All twitter did for me was cement how mundane 99% of my life is. At what point would anyone (and that includes my wife and best friends) possibly care about what I could possibly be doing and any given moment of my life? I’m simply not interesting or important enough for twitter. But I would say that about most (if not all) humans on this earth.

twitter:

at work. working. checking in on mnspeak.

Repeat repeat repeat…

I would unsub from that Twitter account. Thankfully, that’s not what most people post.

There is a social aspect to Twitter, Nate. And, by “social,” I mean people make fun of each other a lot.

twitter got lame when they stopped updating live.

reminds me of back in my high school days and I had a pager.

Every one was like oooh he has a pager….basically it amounted to a lot of nothing.

them: hey what are you doing?
me: not much
them:you wanna hangout
me: sure, what would we do
them: not much
rather rinse repeat

Awesome, Twitter must be cool again, because that isn’t true. It’s as live as live can be.

I only Twitter when I think something might be interesting. Sometime that’s often. Sometime it’s months between. And it’s always what I THINK something’s interesting, which means that I may be leaving everyone in the dust. But thankfully my ego is not stroked by the number of followers I have. That would be a horrible death, I think, to care.

I think my brother checks it out…to see if I’m establishing a gambling habit or am stuck under something heavy. Like snow.

I don’t get Twitter. Then again, the only time I’ve ever consciously looked at someone’s Twitter, uh, page (?) was when I looked at Rex’s this summer. And I learned that he used it to bitch about a wedding reception (one that I was at too, and had a blast at) while he was still there. So, yay, Internet!

I should also mention that I think all MySpace pages are eyesores and I don’t understand why bands think they need so many damn Dancing Jesuses on a page but not, like, a note about how to contact the band (if you aren’t a MySpace member). And YouTube. How can people stand to watch more than five minutes of anything on YouTube without getting a headache? I don’t get it.

P.S.: You kids stay out of my yard.

I’m with you on the contact thing. Same with flickr pages, youtube accounts, etc. People should list their main e-mail address for contact purposes.

Looked it up for the first time tonight.

I’m guessing it’s not something that ’s going to work very well if you don’t use a cell phone.

If I can’t hook a goddam FAX machine up to it, i’m not interested.

mnblrmkr, I use it primarily with Google Talk. A cell phone isn’t required. That’d be far too many text messages to deal with otherwise.

I’d just like to share that I’m going to a breakfast with Al Franken on Thursday. That is all.

Let us know if he has bacon.

I twittered your mother once, Trebeck.

A cell phone isn’t required. That’d be far too many text messages to deal with otherwise.

Required? Maybe not, but it doesn’t seem to make much since as a desktop feature. Except maybe in a stalker sort of way.

All the cool kids are on Twitter. Even Me
