Re: WOW: Facebook Launches a Twitter App

If you don't qualify for having a page you are out of luck and they've cracked down on those creating pages that don't fit in their strict definition of "allowed". Multiply.com's new xposting features allows all users to crosspost to both twitter and/or facebook and for any category of post they choose (photo album, blog, link, quicknote, whatever) on a post by post basis with the tick of a box for either or both prior to publishing.

Perhaps the one F and the two F's will become FFF.

Good luck with THAT. I for one will not be paying to read an online newspaper.

I've looked for the announcement about this from Twitter but as yet, I don't see it on their status site.

Ditto.

I've got two words for them. And they have my permission to quote me.

I'm waiting to see the edits to this page. Anyone want to give it a go?

They are a joke when they think they are the only place we can get the news. I get more via twitter and I can get it there first. I even have their twitter account blocked. I won't have anything to do with them.

TC has banned their stories since last year and there's boycotting going on everywhere because of their policies:

Excellent! (And my comment posted twice trying to comment ONCE)

Web authority = credibility. Many may not like the message, but as long as the messenger is credible, you'll have readers.

Re: 50 Ways to Take Your Blog to the Next Level

Linda — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:19:50 -0000

"@Linda - I try to do a 1/12 sharing scheme, where I share about 12 links to other people’s stuff to any link of mine. That way, I’m trying to never fatigue my followers with self promotion. Heck, none of us like to hang out with the MeMeMeMeMe types. Do we?"

I noticed that about you, and personally I get bored with "me, myself and I". After all, who can be fresh and interesting all the darn time. Too much pressure. I'd prefer to link to other links and sites that are different than mine, whether I've commented on them or not.

If you are going to be on twitter, and you want followers, return the favor and do more there than just flood your followers with links to posts. We'll remove you for that. Interact with your twitter audience. Those @ messages mean something to someone that sends them. If they mean nothing to you, you won't be followed for long.

For every @ message sent to you, it's a chance for exposure to those that don't know you yet. So consider those a valued resource and treat them as such. And allow yourself to view all @'s and not just those sent to you.

Re: BackType: Twitter for Comments

Linda — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:54:31 -0000

I'm liking Back Type a lot. As it becomes more popular, the content is becoming much more interesting. I think those that use it need to remember that their comments, taken out of context are subject to being ignored if they don't make some sort of relevant sense to what they are commenting to. (Notice this comment refers to what I'm commenting about).

So when commenting, it's a learning experience to tie in relevancy. A simple "I like it!" does not peek my interest of the commenter nor what they are commenting on.

@Aronado - I hope it fares well for you and that the members don't continue to take the title literally (and for topics that only they themselves can affect change per my example).

If used for the better intentions you have mentioned, it could have a chance at making an impact. Good luck!

Even though the title was enough to turn me off from clicking on it because it denoted what I stated above, I have gone there now. This is what I see on the homepage (without joining).

Stop Drinking the Kool-Aid!

These Republicans are KILLING me! I can't take all the bullshit…

NOTE: Not sure what that's going to change (and solve) but the bitching about it isn't changing my political opinion regardless of what that opinion is. Maybe that statement will change some republican's political affiliation. If I was a republican, it wouldn't. But I guess the person who posted it feels better.

Why Do I Have to Lower the Seat?

Women want equality - yet I'm the one that always has to lower and raise the…

SOMEONE tell me that I am suddenly going to tell men in my home they don't have to do that anymore. Or that that "bitching post" is going to change the world or the way the world is going to interact with toilet seats from now on.

I already have a solution. Leave it up and I'll remove it, trash it and you won't have to worry about it anymore. Eventually someone besides me is going to miss that toilet seat and rethink their position on it.

See, I understand that some people need a PUBLIC forum to do this. I can see where they prefer to do it anywhere except on their own sites, blogs, etc. either publicly or privately. But if I have an issue about who's going to take the trash out in my home, my posting it there still isn't getting the trash out. Nor is it going to get the world to suddenly stand up for my "trash" rights. This is what I meant by solution.

So yes, I went. It's just not for me.

For those that like it, ENJOY. What else can I say?

You can be part of the problem or part of the solution. I don't see a solution forthcoming from a place like this. Just reading what it's about is enough of a reason not to click on the link.
