Just what we need

I mean, really. If someone is following you that is following 68,364 others, do you really think he’s reading anything you tweet? I’ve found I can reasonably follow about 100 people. Beyond that, it’s just noise.

Yep, don’t forget @tommyxtopher!

Good thing, would have missed this thread!

I never liked real-time chat, back when. And I’m not interested in Twttier.

I’m a BB/Usenet guy and always will be. I don’t want short ‘bon mots’ (most of the time, anyway).

I like lengthier (though not *too* “lengthier” - some of the diaries around here can get a little on the long side!) and the more in-depth analysis that a diary or BB posting allows for. I like that you can take time to post something thought-out, and I like that it allows for you time to formulate responses and rebuttals.

Maybe I’m not hip, but I just don’t care for ’sensory overload’ mediums. I like my bites larger, and more spaced out.

I suppose I should login to tweetdeck and see what they are saying so I can share it on Facebook and digg the good stories…and occasionally post something on reddit just to piss off the lefties…did I miss anything…;^)

First of all, it’s Jake Tapper, darn you! But unlike, say, David Shuster, Tapper isn’t made of suck.

Really, his is one of the most useful news feeds on Twitter. And on top of that, he actually understands the medium. His sentences use whole words, not cht spk abbrviations. You can’t really tweet if you don’t follow @JakeTapper.

Free Twitter Advice. AVOID talking like that.

BTW, Palin’s Twitter feed, like those of many politicians, is only sporadically informative, but the writing style definitely suggests that the Gov. does her own tweeting.

Sanford has lately been doing a series of Tweets on waste in SC govt.

Vivace tidal-generators: Vivace hydro-power These new Tidal waters Electrical Generators are for lower speed forces. Why is this important? Well, the original (and for some reason unimaginative yet what people have been stuck on) Windmill or Propeller shaped/driven generators need higher forces to work yet if the forces are too great they rip-apart. Prop-gen Tidal often turns nice natural Tidal Current Flows into Tidal CHURNS which lands up killing as many fish as the number of KW they put out (yes, exaggeration but being silly to make the point).

This new method may be put into practice off the coast of Detroit (Detroit River, potentially into some of the Lakes also) in order to produce power. This new method is “supposed” to be easier to produce, maintain, more reliable, etc…. but we will see. FINALLY, we may see a reasonably priced (and therefore, viable) option for Tidal Power.

Yes, Tidal forces are generally more reliable than WIND force power generation.

If you aren’t familiar with the Fox News show Red Eye, then I feel sorry for you. Go to YouTube, look it up, come back and thank me,

Red Eye’s @AndyLevy is one of the funniest tweeters out there. He also is a great source of good links and is great about replying to questions. And his Twitter segments on RedEye are priceless.

Go ahead and follow him now. I have spoken.

Actually, Twitter took a little getting used to. But now that I’m getting the hang of it, it is a great tool to reach people, to spread good articles (one’s own or other people’s) and to find out things you wouldn’t otherwise re politics.

So Tweet On!

Captain Ed is one of your favorite bloggers. Yes, I’m speaking for you. If you are on the right and online I have little doubt of the truth of this.

Well his Twitter feed is just as indispensable as HotAir.com is. He’s funny, he keeps you in the know, and he “gets” twitter.

Likewise, the other HotAir pundit, AllahPundit. Allah is a prolific tweeter, with a huge following, and for good reason.

And lastly, you can’t go wrong with MichelleMalkin. I’d say her feed is sassy but she might not care for that. It’s a must though.

The Hot Air tweeps, simply, are made of awesome. And I’m not saying that just because Ed lets me talk Star Trek on his show.

and if it’s e-mail distraction on steroids, I’m blaming Caleb

Yes, as said you don;t need to follow a ton of people, so just pick the few you like to communicate with or hear from. I like to use it for certain local news updates which I know of happenings well before they are made publically available.

Here’s a few more I follow:
@caseymercier @CClinger @ExurbanJon @GoldwaterInst @JeffFlake @retiredfirecapt @VodkaPundit

And do not forget to follow, and be quickly banned by @McCainBlogette for espousing conservative ideals. Something she is against.

Oh and of course the very best person to follow is this guy @phxgonline

I personally follow #RS #TCOT #TEAPARTY #DIGG and a few other non-political hashtags….I use tweetdeck’s search function to create columns for each hashtag I follow…how about you??

I am @ocleverone

how am I suppose to get any work done?

There really was life before email and cell phones made time off impossible! Hell, I don’t even work on any regular basis and I don’t have time to keep up with all this stuff.

Brothers at War film was previewed on Fox this morning….. it looks impressive and one everyone should see. They have a Twitter account which I follow:
http://twitter.com/BrothersAtWar. They have a website to promote this great film: http://www.brothersatwarmovie.com/

Karl Rove also has a Twitter account - which I follow: http://twitter.com/KarlRove

“After speaking, Keyes then led a smaller group onto campus. They made it about 100 yards on campus before they were stopped by campus security. Keyes was taken into custody immediately, and the others were told to leave or they would be arrested.”

Something to do with some election or another going on around that time.
Tis meh

Chip in to get rid of “Babs” (Yes ma’am) Boxer.

Who has time for all this? I sure as heck don’t. Tweets from Twits are not what I need, I can’t even stand calls and texts. Maybe because at work I am IM’d to death.

I just don’t get it…don’t people have lives?

Big surprise, huh?

Of course, I was already following teh @calebhowe, but I appreciate the list of follow recommendations.

Jay Sekulow is reporting that yesterday, the Dept. of Homeland Security officially pulled the “terrorist” report and that Janet Napolitano is distancing herself from the report.

At the same time, Napolitano is mentioned as being in the top six Supreme Court nominees B. Hussein Obama is considering.

Coincidence?

Napolitano has ZERO chance of getting confirmed. The GOP would die on that hill. But it would be savvy politics to nominate Napolitano, see her shot down in flames and then nominate a perceived “moderate” in comparison to Napolitano. In this scenario, a liberal like Sotomayor gets to look measured and sober and gets confirmed much easier than if he had nominated her first.

Like I need more stuff!

@Pomme143

Ok, I have one day to see the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and I do not know anyone who has been there. I am looking for what are the not to miss things in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon so I do not miss out before returning to Las Vegas for a conference on Monday. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you’re old enough to know what it meant… then you’re not… ‘hip’ that is.
