I started using twitter a whole lot more lately, and I haven't done anything to butcher the language. I'm anal about language too, so you wont find me saying garbage like "how u?" and so on. Just be creative in saying what you want to say in fewer words.

By the way, you can catch me on twitter - @ettventer.

Where have you been hiding? Twitter has always been 140 characters. Any way I tweet in full english. I rarely contract real words to fake words.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

140 characters is 35 4 letter words. This paragraph is about 79 characters long.

I mostly won't reach the 140 character limit but there are some things you just cannot edit with losing the feel or intention. That's why I object to the 140 character limit.

I still refuse to use twitter to gush about my life, that's where I have refused to use twitter until now. Had nothing else to use it for until now :P

Prime, you're not suppose to write essays on Twitter; you should micro-blog. Use it for mini-announcements if you want. I've been using it for a while now.

I am not going to write essays :shock: It will be posts such as:
Fstop: 5. Shutter speed:60. Took these pictures in the afternoon shade.
or
I need to do X if i want a good shot of Y. Why is this?


Anyway, I am thinking about Wordpress. Seems I can Link the 2 together. :)

Wordpress also has this neat feature where you can link your twitter account and then everytime you publish a new blog entry, Wordpress automatically creates a tweet with a link to the blog entry.

The feature is called "Publicize" and it is explained (with pictures) in this link.

given that opera unite even offers to manage the SEO side of things for you, you could be publishing from your browser... not that i encourage blogging....

or tweeting....

So, I wonder, perhaps I should link my final year project into Twitter. In Theory, I could have my robotic vehicle post things to twitter such as location, distance travelled, battery life :plotting:

/OT GO TO BED! Who in their right mind would be up this late on a week night? Before you ask me the same question - I am working on February's issue.

I think a rustypup blog could be most entertaining. Perhaps in collaboration with jamin_za?

No I don't, I don't think people need to know what I'm doing every minute of the day.

If you think you are special enough to warrant "tweeting" about yourself, then good for you. I hope you enjoy your stay.
