Well, if I ever have a problem with Twitter. Or want to know something about it, you'll be the first person I ask. :p

Yeah, that's what I figured, which I think is really weird - Interesting concept; pull on any mention of specific game names and mention them, but what's the point of monitoring the live feed? Don't you want to RESPOND to people? It's like talking into the void - throwing your voice into the pit of the well... So surreal.

Also do you follow Kevin Rose's tea stream. twitter.com/goodtea he posts a lot more tea related videos on there and also on facebook.

Yeah, I enjoy Dita's a lot. I'll have to look up Virginia D'vine.

I also follow Kevin Rose's goodtea one (not his personal one), which I think I got from a link on your twitter one time. :p

My twitter is www.twitter.com/NoirButterfly, if anyone else wants to look me up.


@Chrono
I couldn't find you on twitter.

I think the purpose of that site is actually more for people that don't give a shit about Twitter, but do want to see what people are talking about with gaming. I think it's cool, but I agree...they should integrate Twitter into it (easy to do, there are a lot of 3rd party Twitter applications out there) so people can add to the stream while on the site.

especially with E3. People who were there in the audience for big announcements were the first to know, and they tweet with their camera phones and iphones so everyone following the feed can see what's going on before the news is published to websites.

And see...*THAT* is the "point" of Twitter.
If you follow enough people (or check out a site that takes Twitter feeds and compiles them instantly), you get that instant news effect. There are some Twitter feeds of people in Iran at the moment that were talking about the Iranian election days before CNN gave enough of a shit to start posting about it.

It has a lot of benefits...it just depends on how you choose to use it.

twitter was supposed to have downtime today but it was delayed cause people were tweeting about the Iran election and protests, but theres nothing about the protests on CNN, so they didnt want to seem like they were censoring or witholding live news.
