Any other AAmers on Twitter?
 

Twitter came up in the discussion during the chat party today, and I meant to ask but we got sidetracked: anybody else from AAm on there?

Anyhoo, I'm @Ruroshen, if anyone feels like adding me. Just don't expect me to twitter about anything even remotely exciting. Lead an exciting, glamorous life, I don't. :p

i have never considered it but i have heard alot about twitter

This might sound stupid so (dont laught) lol but the heck is a twitter. :)

It's the latest popular social networking thingy. You set up a profile, then post to it whatever you're doing or thinking at any given moment in 140 characters or less, and the update is sent to all the people who have chosen to follow your updates. It's like status updates on Facebook, without all the other crap attached.

It sounds silly, I know--I turned my nose up at it for quite awhile--but it's actually a fun way to keep up with friends and family during the day, and to stalk (uh, I mean, keep abreast of) some of its celebrity users. (I follow Kevin Smith, Wil Wheaton, John Cleese and Jonathan Coulton to name a few, for example.)

Anyway, it's clearly not for everybody, so no worries. Just wondered if anybody else here was on it.

Wesley from TNG?:blink:

Yep. I hated Wesley as much as the next guy, but Wil's come a very long way from his Ensign Crusher days. He's grown up into an extremely talented writer and voice actor with a huge internet following--he used to be a regular contributor to the Onion's AV Club, he gave an amazingly kick-ass keynote speech at the Penny Arcade Expo a couple years back, and he's voiced characters on Teen Tians, Legion of Superheroes, Batman: Brave and the Bold and Family Guy.

Wil has very funny, geek-friendly, and surprisingly sincere blog that I've followed it for a number of years now, and it's been really cool to watch him evolve from a struggling b-level actor into a successful writer and elder-geek-statesman. And he's always extremely gracious with his fans (and even his non-fans), which is a plus.

I do have a Twitteraccount, but that site hasn't really caught me yet...

I prefer DailyBooth :)

I just created an account, I'm @edgar_93 (somebody else already has edgar93 :mad:).
I'm not following anyone yet :p.
edit* nevermind, now Im Ruro's #1 follower :p.

Is Alizée twittering (or whatever you call it)? That would be cool but I guess she values her privacy too much for that to happen. And I'm not even sure I want to know about the minutiae of her daily life (or anyone else's life for that matter).:rolleyes: I'm suffering from information overload as it is and let's face it - 90% of what you read on social networking sites is useless crap. Sorry, just my opinion.;)
