Don't let me and Jeff have all the fun!

[Donald Stidwell]

Join us on Twitter. I'm astounded that I participate in a social
network, but it's fun. Jeff and I go back and forth on various issues
and sure would be nice to see some of you all joining the banter.

Just added you to my folks I follow. My updates are protected so I'll have to approve you if you want to follow me. (Got tired of multitudes of spammers wanting to follow me).

[Donald Stidwell]

Kristin, it may have. Marsha Love and John Cunningham were the only other WOYPers I was aware of on Twitter.

[Bert Latamore]

Don,

I sent the request to you.

Bert

[Donald Stidwell]

And approved. Thanks.

@stirwise

Don and Jeff: what are your twitter handles?

[Donald Stidwell]

I'm @crimsonsky56.

Jeff is @jeffkirvin.

Great, Don.

Are you anywhere near Colonial Beach? We go down there for the day sometimes. We have a favorite restaurant there, the Dockside, and we sit out on the beach for the afternoon and then each fresh seafood for dinner.

Bert

[Donald Stidwell]

Colonial Beach is way north up near Dahlgren. I'm three hours south of
there.

[Bert Latamore]

Don,

Is it that far? It is about as close to you as we get normally. Just a thought.

Bert

[Bert Latamore]

BTW, Thanks for getting me to try Evernote. It is very useful. Among other things, I am moving my recipe book into it. Since these days we get a lot of our recipes off the Internet in the first place, it is very handy just to paste them into notes, add a few tags, and there they are. Lots easier than all that hand entry on the Palm!

Bert

[Donald Stidwell]

Oh, it's that far all right. I normally go up 301 when I go to Baltimore from here, so I pass right by Dahlgren prior to crossing the Potomac River Bridge. Colonial Beach is off 205 if memory serves - shouldn't be too far from Dahlgren.

Maybe we can coordinate lunch one day when I go up to Baltimore. I could stop for a couple hours in Colonial Beach and met you at your favourite lunch spot.

Don

[Donald Stidwell]

See, Bert - you're getting with it! Jeff is a Evernote monster though - if EN ever fails it will be cause of him! :)

[Bert Latamore]

Don,

We can think about that.

Marsha, what's your handle? I don't think I'm following you.

John,

Just curious. Is the resemblance between your Twitter ID and Django (Reinhardt), one of my favorite musicians, purposeful? 

Bert

[John L. Cunningham]

It is a tribute, of sorts. Django is the only artist that is
permanently on my mp3 player.

Okay, well we share a taste in music, but then I have  very wide musical taste. What recordings do you recommend?

Marsha, how do you get those cool symbols in your tweets? Especially the Apple one?

[Bert Latamore]

I seem to be fighting a strange problem in Twitter. I want to add three WOYP people to those I follow: @stirwise, @mlove0723, and @johnnaryry. So this morning I searched them on Twitter and checked "follow" Then I went to Tweetdeck to add them to my WOYP group, and none of them were on my list of people I follow. So I went back to their pages and checked "follow" again. And again they didn't show up.

since then I have managed to get @stirwise and @mlove0723 onto my follow list and my WOYP group working through TweetDeck. But I still can't seem to add @johnnaryry, either directly through Twitter or through TweetDeck. No idea why.

Bert

[midtoad]

Bert, if you follow 'twitter' on Twitter, you'll see that they are
currently having problems with the 'follow' functionality.

cheers
Stewart

[Donald Stidwell]

Bert, I saw this with Nambu on the Mac, but TweetDeck seems to be doing better. I think it's just a question of waiting for them to show up. I've noticed that Twitter can be slow on updates like this sometimes. Some of the folks I added only started having their updates show up a few hours after I started following them.

[Donald Stidwell]

I always get the feeling that the Twitter folks are surprised by their
success. I don't feel that they expected the service to take off so.
The Twitcopalyse and the follow problem seems like signs of growing
too fast.

[Marsha]

Twittelator Pro for the iPhone has dingbats and emoji's. The Apple dingbat was recently added.

(From stone.com: "Note: Emoji's are only visible on iPhones/touches and Japanese mobile devices.")

Ah, so. I use Tweetie on my iPhone and Touch. 

Hmm... Sounds like Bob K. territory!

[Bert Latamore]

Figures. I finally did get it to work.

BTW, what is your @ on twitter?
