Be Excellent To Each Other

I also use TwitterFox.

I use Twitterific on the phone and... well... twitter.com on the computer.

Why wouldn't I?

Russ, yez blog keeps double posting on Twitter. Sort it aaahhht.

I dont see double posting. The formatting of the posts are a nightmare on the iphone though.

I do. There's 6 posts, 2 for each item.

That's your silly app then. Tweetie doesn't do it, and I don't think Teletwitter does either. I can't check because my PC has no power.

Well it does it on the twitter website too, so thrrrp.

If you're following @dvdbargain you should unfollow it, as all updates go to @bgcomparison, and @dvdbargain is just for people who won't change over.

Craster - screenshot?

Not for me - you must be following him twice, or he's tweeting the feed from two separate accounts or something.

Ah yeah, I've got both. Russ yowm silly.

I can only apologise. I put up a message on the old account saying it had done changed, and still people are following it, so I try to please them all.

I twittered about playing poker last night, and now have about six poker themed people following me.

How odd.

Not especially - you can search Twitter and follow people who talk about stuff you're interested in.
Believe me when I say the BeexSwearing twitter user has some odd followers.

Hello cunts!

That reminds me, http://cursebird.com/ is the same, but it's a search across Twitter itself. I love their stats; today, FUCK is down 1.69%.

You can also enter your own username and get a rating. Mine is "penllawen swears like a Scottish Comedian". But for BeexSwear:

I swear like a Children's TV Presenter

I swear like an enthusiastic porn star.

Man, Twitter is starting to make me nervous. If an hour goes by without anyone twittering anything, I start worrying that the entire world outside my office has vanished or turned into zombies or some shit.

I'm not well.

I had to follow more people to cure that. For a very small value of "cured".

"Alleviate" might be a better word.

I have missed you.

This took me by surprise, as I only swear once in a blue moon.

but then...



So it's Dimrill spoiling the purity of my account. I should've known

I AM PURER THAN DAVE!!!

Sigh.

By the way, anyone wanting to watch a writer slowly going crazy while reviewing a ton of iPhone Twitter clients: http://twitter.com/CraigGrannell.

*sob*

I've had a massive boom in followers today. I think it's people going around following absolutely everybody they can find. Quite strange and annoying.

I keep on thinking of the 'persuade-a-tron' device in 'Syndicate'. Please reassure me that 'follower' is not like that.

I now have a proper twitter feed if anyone cares to follow me:

That's quite a cool thing to have....does anyone say cool anymore? No other word fit

How does that work with protected updates?

I am pondering a BeexGames Twitter account. It would act as a group, so if you direct messaged it, it would repeat whatever you said out. The idea is we could use it as a more realtime version of the "playing online now/soon" thread. It's more convenient for most people to bang a Twitter out on their phone than to post on the forum.

Non-Twitter users could still subscribe to its RSS feed, so they wouldn't be left out in the cold.

Good idea?

I like it.

Sounds good

I was thinking the other day that the IRC channel could be ideal for 360 games chatter of an evening.

But Twitter seems to be the thing nowadays so go for it..

Well I do, but I'm a granny.

Welcome to the 21st century, Kal. We have petrol engines, and everything.

IRC, you have to be logged in to see it (same for instant messenger), and both of them mostly tie you to a computer. Twitter seems to be the right mix of asynchronous message delivery and strong mobile device support.

Shame Twitter can't deliver via SMS any more. This is one Twitter account I would like SMSs from.

I am just not down with the kids anymore

Petrol engines are like so 1884.

Edit -- see the first post in this thread for updated instructions.

get it now, installed tweetie on my iphone on recommendation of craig, so i can post better direct msgs

what's the best geotag to map site/app for twitter

BeexGames adds your name to the message, meaning you need to keep your messages short especially if you have a longish name like me

The rest of the message read "playing Grid & Forza".

Yeah, you can see the rest by clicking on the ... at the end of the message.

Or, yknow, a thread on Beex.

Also: One cleaner for bathroom and kitchen.

Learn something new every day. Doesn't work in twitterfox though

This is a trial. Just like dealing with you, Captain Cardigan.

See the first post in this thread for rewritten instructions.

This afternoon I'm off to smash some mechanised looms.

It's a bit slow isn't it? Over 5 minutes for that one to come through.. I'd have given up.

Careful, Satan is in there. You don't want to get any on you.

I pondered the idea of hooking the RSS feed from the Twitter account up to this thread, so that Tweets would ultimately find their way here too. But then it occured to me this would only be helping you live in the past, and you never turn up for games anyway.

Yes. That's because of how it works, a third party service (grouptweet.com) polls the accounts for direct messages and then reposts them. Twitter doesn't have any native group support (yet). The polling is obviously not on a very tight loop. It's good enough for these purposes though.
