Post by: TWCToday on September 23, 2008, 06:56:09 PM: Wow you guys really dont know about Twitter :o

In a sense its like live blogging. You post short messages using your computer/phone about what your doing and thinking.

ex.
6:30 Ordered dinner. Having Pizza again.
6:45 Pizza arrived. Watching TWC. It seems like my intellistar unit is starting to late.
...
10:00 Going to bed

Some people love it, some people hate it. I think its neat to see what your friends are doing but its just too time consuming for me

I don't get how TWC relates to this. Like how did you guys get your twitters to appear on A&B? :unsure:

From what I know, on Twitter you can "follow" users there, and when you follow someone, you will be notified when they update what they're doing. You can also talk to people on there, it's sort of like instant messaging in a way. People that 'follow' A&B can communicate with them.

They ask you something like for example, "Are you a huge snow fan?" or "What's your thought about the California drought?", you send them a tweet, and pretty soon your tweet might get on the air. It's so much fun to get in contact with A&B!

Honestly, I think TWC, and A&B specifically, had more to do with it than you did. :yes:

Actually, its fact. Look back. The thread died in September, and at the time no one wanted to tweet. It came back to life in February, and everyone wanted to tweet because of TWC. :thumbsup:

Post by: Anistorm on March 04, 2009, 06:34:44 PM: Is anyone having problems with Twitter? I have been trying to log in but it keeps on saying that my page doesn't exist anymore. I just reset my password and it still says that my page doesn't exist. Anyone dealing with the same thing? Or maybe I've been hacked by someone from my college? :dunno:

If I am hacked, then I will have to make a new one (which I don't want to and I won't be using Anistorm anymore. I may be known as IheartStephanieAbrams if this occurs).

Post by: Anistorm on March 04, 2009, 09:42:25 PM: My Twitter has been fixed finally. J.T. told me that there might have been problems. Phew, I wasn't alone. I couldn't tweet to A&B so I had to do Facebook instead.

Post by: jtmal0723 on March 05, 2009, 04:06:49 PM: not quite, but you have the right idea... Twitter lets people know what you're doing, and you can update it by cell phone if you wanted to and people who choose to, get a message from Twitter telling them what you're up to.

I wouldn't think there's any force involved. I would think that it's entirely optional. :yes:
Title: Re: Twitter
Post by: TWCToday on March 06, 2009, 04:23:28 PM: My guess is NBC encouraged it (not forced) or someone at TWC decided it would be a neat thing to do and passed the idea along.
