What do you Twitter?
Firstly, let me just make a belated announcement -- The Blogbunnie blog makeover contest was won by Southern Sage, and whilst I tweeted him the announcement, I forgot to blog it here so that everyone else who entered would know, as well. Sorry!! So, big congrats to Sage, who will have his new blog layout within the next two weeks.
Secondly, I answered one of those opinion-related questions over at Sex Talk yesterday and if any of you ladies agree or disagree with my answer to Do Women Like Having Their Labia Sucked? feel free to comment and leave your opinion.
And finally....Twitter. I've been getting into Twitter lately and I've come to the conclusion that it's pretty much blogging for ADHD people. In other words, people who can't be bothered to sit down and blog something, but would rather just type a few lines in the heat of the moment. I'm starting to like it. My problem is this -- it's so fucking hard to find interested tweeps. I mean, if I already know you, that's interesting enough. But if I'm looking for new tweeps to follow, I just can't bring myself to follow people who tweet 30 times a day and all they do is give an account of what they're eating.
I want to follow witty people, or people who have something interesting to say or show me. I really can't stand the guys who only tweet about gadgets (there are tons of them) and software all day long, or the latest polls of local politics. That is so fucking dull.
There are a few celebs who tweet wittily, but I'm not sure they're not paying someone to it, because it's just too clever. Then there are the celebs who only tweet promotional shite. One of them I truly adored but was so put off by this repetitive nonsense that I no longer want to see him perform live. I'd thought the man amazingly clever; now I think him self-serving and dull -- particularly since 99.9 of his @replies are listings of tour dates. Honestly, the man can't be that hard up for cash that he needs to spend all of his time tweeting stand-up dates.
Right, so, the point is, I'm looking for new tweeps to follow. If you'd like to connect on Twitter, let me know. Send me an @ reply, as I don't auto-follow (too much porn spam). And if you're not already on twitter, or if you think it's silly, this just means you haven't discovered TweetDeck yet -- makes it so much more interested when you can filter out people's replies and organize them clearly.

How do you filter things out on Tweetdeck? I have tweetdeck but I guess I'm not using it properly?
As for Twitter, I have no idea if what I say is even remotely interesting. I hope it's kind of funny but who knows? I follow a bunch of people who post "inspirational" quotes and I am very tempted to unfollow them. I know they mean well but they post so many times a day that it's ridiculous.
You're interesting, don't worry. ;-)
You can filter them out by not selecting them for a group. I don't have an 'everyone' group, so I can choose who shows up and who doesn't. That way you can "follow" people without having to read their 30 and 40 inspirational tweets a day. ;-)
Wow!! I just created a group and it's so much better! Thanks for the tip. :)
Oh, and thanks for saying I'm interesting though I suspect I was fishing for that compliment. :)
You can make several groups... I have a "hot guys" group, you know. ;-)
Really? I can only see 4 columns at one time though and I thought once you pick the 4 columns, if you try to replace them, you've permanently deleted them. (Not sure if that made sense but basically, how can you look at multiple groups?)
I have 4 groups (including "me" so I can see my own tweets) and one for replies. I have the same screen size as you I think. Do you have it set to narrow columns? It might help. If you delete one of those columns, yes you'd have to start over. But it doesn't delete all the people, you just re-select them. Or am I not understanding what you mean?
I have 1 group, 1 column for replies, 1 column for DM's, 1 column for twitscoop and 1 column for "all friends". I just changed the columns to narrow so that all 5 could visit easily. Don't you want to have a column for DM's? How do u know you've received them otherwise?
interesting. i've not gotten into the twitter as i've got enough going on with family life and 2 blogs. i loves how you described it as blogging for people with ADHD. very clever and funny. also, that would be a turn-off to read constant plugs by someone you admire for the same person. ugh!
gawd! i forgot to comment on the winner as well. i can't wait to see how sage handles it. 2 weeks you say? i'll be watching for that one i can tell you.
isa...you fucking rock!
Jilly - Yeah, that column for "all friends" I don't use because it's just too many tweets. I do have DM off the side a bit offscreen, if something shows up I can expand it. I don't use twitscoop...
Autumn - You should try twitter, I'm starting to prefer it. And definitely check out Sage's new blog when it's ready!
I used to swear up and down that i never would. but i recently joined (less than 10 days) :D mainly to twit(?) about stuff I won't make a whole blog post about and connect with like-minded people.
Welcome, Lolita! Yes that's similar to why I do it as well. :)
