Twitter presence for the #! Forum?

Would you consider it? Or maybe a live feed like the one LQ has? I think it might be fun even if it turns out to serve no practical purpose. Corenominal is on Twitter, thought i'd mention it just in case that tilts the decision in it's favor.

Someone beat us to it...

I even responded to one of those last night...

That doesn't mean we couldn't start our own feed. I won't be doing it though, I wish social media and the people who use it would die so I can walk down the street without having to sidestep people walking while staring at their phones.

You should try riding a motorbike through heavy traffic with all the cagers* looking at their phones...

:lol I see what you mean, that age group didn't cross my mind at all as a target being a reclusive old geyser who doesn't own an I phone.

@HoaS, I was doing sandwich delivery on bicycle last fall and would routinely have to shout "Heads up!" at college kids who were skateboarding the wrong way up a one-way street at night while staring at their phones. Usually in groups of 3 or 4.

You rock, dude.

The hashtag doesn't mean anyone owns #bunsenlabs. Anyone can put any hashtag they like on their posts. It's just a sort of search helper I guess.
( @hhh if you had put #bunsenlabs in your reply it would have appeared here: https://twitter.com/hashtag/bunsenlabs )

hhh · 2015-08-29 01:56:08

^Fixed.

Dammit, now I've twatted. I feel dirty.

-edit- I'm not doing it right, the tweet didn't appear and now the link in my first post is broken. Meh.

I hope you don't really mean the people would die, but I understand where you're coming from. Another pet peeve of mine is when people walk around while shopping talking on their phone. Really?! You're so important that you can't postpone that call until you're in a more private setting?

It's a weird thing, but holding a phone in public creates a Cloak of Invisibility and a Cone of Silence around you.

johnraff · 2015-08-30 05:51:59

@hhh I don't think you can edit tweets, only delete.

hhh · 2015-08-30 21:29:57

I deleted the original and made a new one with #BunsenLabs but I still don't see it in the main feed. No biggie.
