Twitter

I've always considered Twitter kind of pointless, but after more thought, I wonder if there's some use here in our world.

So, I'm signed up. http://twitter.com//waltschmidt

Twitter may be a good way to send quick updates while in the park working or playing. This is all new, so we'll have to see how it goes.

Sellout. :)

I was never too keen on the idea of using Twitter, considering I update my 'status' on Facebook. When it becomes a chore to go to various sites to update what I'm doing, things are getting out of hand. However, I've since started using Twitter and enjoy it so far. It's nice to be able to 'follow' peoples' updates without having to be a full-fledged friend, like on Facebook.

As for the whole updating multiple sites thing, I took care of that with a Facebook application called TwitterSync. So now, I can update Twitter from wherever (phone, web, etc.), and the second it hits Twitter, my Facebook status also gets automatically updated.

Oh...Just in case anyone is interested: http://www.twitter.com/reclaimer

I have an account but never used it. This will tempt me closer to it. The Facebook status is surprisingly addicting.

I just don't get all that stuff. I understand how it works, what I mean is I don't understand WHY people do it. Like I want to read, "I just arrived at work, the traffic was terrible." Or, "Just dropped my kids off at the sitter." Sometimes there is too much available on the Internet.

I consider myself tech savvy but, like I said, I don't get Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, etc.

Like I said, I always thought it was pointless. Jeff and I have had conversations where I make fun of the Valley guys who use it. But I think it's worth this experiment to see if useful in our little niche. You won't be seeing, "I just got a glass of water" messages from me, but perhaps, "in line for Gemini, park is packed" messages have some use.

Not a bad idea.

Also dig the Facebook app.

It's just not one of my "things". I also don't text message on a cell phone. Consider that another thing I don't get. If you have something to tell me, call me.

I must be getting old. HEY YOU KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN!

The thing is, I've been able to do something like this for years with text messages, only I narrow the focus to the people I actually need to send a message to. Even as someone who has been blogging for years, I don't see why people want to push out crap to potentially thousands of people, or why others are willing to consume it. It's attention whoring at its worst.

Ohhh that sounds cool... can't wait to try it

So is this like PKIcentral.com and they send updates to your phone about the park and stuff like that?

^ Basically

I also am in the Twitter world if anyone wants to add me... I will post updates from the park, etc...

I'd also like to point out that I'll only tweet stuff about the park. And I think it'd be cool if there were others who would do the same - only twittering about stuff happening in the park.

How do you send texts to it incase some one is following you?

You have to activate your phone there, and then its a simple matter of texting your tweet to Twitter. There's a FAQ and help section at Twitter to help.

OK thanks. I have tried to activate my phone and it hasnt worked yet. Ill keep trying.

Aint technology wonderful. We can pointbuzz while at the point.

I'm gonna try this just because I can't get online when Im at work- but I can always text!
