I have no idea what retweeting or any of that nonsense is.

 

It's basically quoting to say you agree/for your followers to read too. If you hover over any tweet you'll see the option come up.

 

Love this one too while I'm here : Lord Voldemort (Lord_Voldemort7) on Twitter

 

edit : and of course, Vader : Darth Vader (darthvader) on Twitter

Down to 3 accounts now from 5. Was chaos for a while back there. With some luck the worst part of the addiction is over with now.

 

Note : if you want several accounts on the same email and you use gmail, you just put a . in your name anywhere you want for each account. That's because gmail doesn't recognise dots, and it still goes to the same account.

 

So for example, twat@gmail.com owns all variations with dots in them. t.wat@gmail.com, tw.at@gmail.com, etc. So if you have a long username on gmail you can have quite a few twitter accounts all going back to the same one.

Don't know what's going on here but this is excellent :

 

Skimming through rapper 50 Cent's Twitter history, one can instantly determine the point at which handlers ceased managing the account of late, and the hiphop star took things over himself. About 9 days ago.

 

Today, either his account has been hijacked by a prankster, or he's having a particularly rough day. My money (all fifty cents of it) is on an account security problem. Either way, his 2,938,555 followers must be enjoying the wild ride this afternoon.

 

50 Cent is having a bad day (or his Twitter's been hijacked) - Boing Boing

 

To see check his account from 9:03 PM Aug 25th onwards : 50cent (50cent) on Twitter

Last week I saw the space station fly by while out on the boat, I then downloaded an iphone app to show future satellite/space station fly bys.

 

Anyway during looking up stuff on the ISS I found that one of the astronauts onboard twitters, from space. Which is fucking cool.

Also does anyone know anything about Empire of the Kop?

 

I'd never heard of it until twitter but the lad has more followers than Ryan Babel, Paul Tomkins, Guillem Balague, TLW, RAWK, SOS put together.

 

Also has more followers than USA Vice President Joe Biden.

 

Just surprised that it appears that site is so well known but I've never heard it mentioned of seen anything of it until twitter.

You can't get rss feeds at the moment, they changed the way your username and password is used to authenticate your account from outside Twitter, so it's bollocksed for everyone.

Seems impossible to avoid if you want the latest news, so hamstrunglfc is now on twitter. Its a nightmare to read.

 

So, can someone explain it in a few simple steps for me.

 

For starters, what's all the @ and # stuff?

 

@puts in a reference to another person and # puts in a search tag.

 

So for example:

 

"@woolfc You're a total douche Woo #wooisadouche #yerma #lfc"

 

posts a tweet mentioning Woo, saying that he's a douche and adding those three search tags. Search tags can then be viewed as lists, so if you clicked on #lfc in someone's tweets, you'd see all of the tweets by everyone including people that you don't follow which were marked with #lfc.

 

Geddit?
