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.

I'm 25 and totally agree, so it has nothing to do with age :)

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

Technically, no.

Depending on how fast you reply to a tweet, it could be like an IM.

Re: Twitter under DDOS!
 
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:

Yes, or "Hey, I'm out at the store getting Fixodent and Preparation H".

WOW How could I have gotten by without this gem? :hm

Thanks for taking the time to confirm I don't get the value. :D


BTW, now I'm sitting at my desk. :tu

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.

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.
