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

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.

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.

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

This thread delivers!

WOW How could I have gotten by without this gem?

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


BTW, now I'm sitting at my desk.

Goin to pee.

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."

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.
