View Full Version : Twitter under DDOS!

I know a lot of inmates use Twitter.com and in case you're trying to use it now, they are currently under attack by a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) and fighting to keep the site up. If you're having problems, that's why.

If you read a Tweet, does that make you a Twit?

It's just like any other social networking tool. It's a good way to keep up with things your friends are doing and keep your friends up to date about what you're doing. It's also a good way to share news or just BS.
Some people prefer this method of communication over your method with 2 tin cans and a piece of string.
It's the 21st century, old dog. I don't expect you to be ready for it. :D

So it's instant messaging.

Technically, no.
Depending on how fast you reply to a tweet, it could be like an IM.

So I just post a message about what I'm doing at the time?
Like hey, I'm on CA trying to get Darrell to tell me the value of TWITTER.
:confused:

Al, I'm with you. Although fairly technically savvy, I am not a twit, and I don't tweet. Aversion to Twitter does not classify one as a luddite.

How are you goin to pee if you are at your desk. You should type "I am going to leave the computer for a second to pee." :tu

Darrell, respectfully bro, I don't give a rat's a$$ what my friends are all doing at any given moment, and I probably don't want them to know what I'm doing.

I'm reading your posts right now and scratching my balls.
Just FYI.

:tpd: Just not a fit for me I guess. My sons are young and don't use it as well. I guess it's like everything else, if you like it you like it.

Quick everyone load Twitter and help the DDOS out. :D
Honestly Twitter just takes the point out of seeing a friend and BS'ing over Beers and Cigars. Or maybe I'm just old school.

Can we start a tweet thread?
If:
Tweet = Statement
then
Twhat = question?
what is past tense?

A tiny part of me sees the "value", but the rest of me kicks its butt and locks it in the closet. Someone recently referred to herself as a "Twidow". Her hubby follows/posts to Twitter so obsessively. There are those who go too far and I don't feel the need to be that connected. Best of love to those of you who do.
In the spirit of good humor:
