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 don't get the point of twitter. Guess my age is showing, again.

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

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.

Maybe you could educate me wise a$$.

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.

So it's instant messaging.

Technically, no.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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