I know a lot of inmates use Twitter.com and in case you're trying to use it now, they are currently under attack by a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) and fighting to keep the site up. If you're having problems, that's why.

I don't get the point of twitter. Guess my age is showing, again. :-)
[Reply]

Naturally. :-)
[Reply]

Maybe you could educate me wise a$$.
[Reply]

I'm 25 and totally agree, so it has nothing to do with age :-)

I am going through Twitter withdrawl. :-)

If you read a Tweet, does that make you a Twit?
[Reply]

It's just like any other social networking tool. It's a good way to keep up with things your friends are doing and keep your friends up to date about what you're doing. It's also a good way to share news or just BS.

Some people prefer this method of communication over your method with 2 tin cans and a piece of string.

It's the 21st century, old dog. I don't expect you to be ready for it. :-)

:-) This fight is getting good :-)
[Reply]

So it's instant messaging.


Damn string broke again! :-)
[Reply]

Technically, no.

Depending on how fast you reply to a tweet, it could be like an IM.
[Reply]

So I just post a message about what I'm doing at the time?

Like hey, I'm on CA trying to get Darrell to tell me the value of TWITTER.

:-)
[Reply]

Yes, or "Hey, I'm out at the store getting Fixodent and Preparation H".
[Reply]

:-) This thread delivers!
[Reply]

WOW How could I have gotten by without this gem? :-)

Thanks for taking the time to confirm I don't get the value. :-)


BTW, now I'm sitting at my desk. :-)
[Reply]

Goin to pee.
[Reply]

Al, I'm with you. Although fairly technically savvy, I am not a twit, and I don't tweet. Aversion to Twitter does not classify one as a luddite.
[Reply]

How are you goin to pee if you are at your desk. You should type "I am going to leave the computer for a second to pee." :-)
[Reply]

Darrell, respectfully bro, I don't give a rat's a$$ what my friends are all doing at any given moment, and I probably don't want them to know what I'm doing.
