one lonely success » twitter http://www.onelonelysuccess.com Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:29:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 the day twitter stole my innocence http://www.onelonelysuccess.com/2009/04/17/the-day-twitter-kicked-us-in-the-balls/ http://www.onelonelysuccess.com/2009/04/17/the-day-twitter-kicked-us-in-the-balls/#comments Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:09:23 +0000 Jeff http://www.onelonelysuccess.com/?p=2689 Continue reading →]]> so recently, i heard ashton kutcher threaten to “ding-dong-ditch” ted turner’s house if he beat CNN to the million follower mark on twitter. Am i the only one who had never heard the phrase “ding-dong-ditch“? that sounds like a bunch of douche-baggery to me.

so as i write this, i’m copying more than 12-gigabytes worth of photos that my good friend josh shot of misty & i. also, every time i say the word “gigabyte” i feel like doc brown from ‘back to the future‘ telling marty mcfly that we’re going to need 1.21 GIGAWATTS of power—but i digress.

so how about that oprah learning how to twitter? wow. cutting edge stuff there, kids. here’s video of the twitter-segment where she calls ashton kutcher the “king of twitter”.

so do i think twitter has jumped the shark? yes. did it happen today on Oprah? no. twitter went flying over the great-whit when celebrities realized they could control their own press coverage via twitter AND twitter realized they could monopolize on those same celebrities by creating the “Twitter Recommends Following” list that every new user was met with seconds after creating an account.

if you’re just hearing about twitter, then signup for an account and join the fun, b/c we’re at the crest of the wave. don’t believe me? do you remember AOL, CompuServe or MSN? the walled-garden paradigm has never succeeded online and eventually concedes to open standards. the walled-garden killed IM and MySpace and if Twitter doesn’t evolve, it will meet the same fate.

so what should you do about it? well, frankly, you should follow me on twitter b/c going against our “king” or “queen” spells big fuck trouble.

  • Mocking up invitation details in PShop with @mistyhendricks…I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be marrying this girl. #
  • i have no quantitative measurement, but it feels like its 52F in my apartment…lord. #
  • @billk31 good point, however, temp can be considered quantitative with respect to its absolute measure in a closed system (i.e. my cold apt) #
  • Today while writing an otherwise normal email i TOTALLY made proper use of a semicolon…was just writing then BAM…semicolon. good day. #
  • @billk31 you’re absolutely correct, however, with respect to a measured value (such as temp) one could NOT call it qualitative; therfore… #
  • @billk31 agreed. again, we’re saying the same thing. Relative indicators compared to constant values define qualitative measurements. No? #
  • dear lazy web, is tonight’s 30 Rock a new episode? #
  • Can anyone tell me why the new Airport Extreme’s dual-network features cant be implemented w/ a firmware update? they all have dual radios! #

  • Out of everything I’ve learned in 12years of higher education, the proper usage of “effect” vs. “affect” rates very high on the list. #
  • Following up on my effect vs. affect tweet, I locked up proper use when a Dr told me, “Effect is a noun…affect is a verb. Think DrCarter!” #
  • The best song you’re NOT listening to is “Halloween Head” by @cardinology fix that by listening here: http://bit.ly/14s0P #

  • Unapologetically enjoying SiriusXM’s 90s alt station #
  • Really wish I could justify the expense of a Kindle 2. While there are plenty of textbooks avail, I’m too much of a margin scribbler. #
  • @wildshot no the legal stuff was re: the text-to-speech. amazon has stepped back and allowed pubs the choice of enabling that fcn #kindle #
  • Planning for a move is the ultimate indicator of just how close you are to your friends. Luckily, I’ve got a lot of good ones. #
  • Drowning in a sea of syntax while going cross-eyed designing the wedding website. #
  • all coding and no play makes jeff a dull boy. #
