i believe i can fly

if i had a twitter i would follow jergins and THE_REAL_SHAQ, but i don't

i look forward to yr tweets.

poop is coming out

all i do w/ twitter is tweet @ slocki and read the_real_shaq

i am thinking deeply about the best way to make this interesting. only jokes? poop monitor? trace the down/up spiral of drug addiction, from first taste to recovery, in 12 hours?

catalog the terrible songs stuck in my head

tweet.

i am like a bird

http://twitter.com/PacIsAlive

pacisalive posted one of my favorite songs ever, i ain't mad at cha, on my 24th birthday

11:26 PM Mar 2nd from web

I see that

when i try to log in it says

That page doesn't exist!

at least there's a cute birdie picture on that page

oh, now it works

twitter has lots of downtime. it's growing and growing!

my boss asked "so, is twitter like facebook?"

# Homeless man @ me: i am not even going to ask you the questionabout 1 hour ago from txt

this site calculates how annoying it would be to follow particular twitterers

i guess this is good: 0.0% political posts, 0.0% @ replies

Anthony Gardiner of Wellington, New Zealand bought an engagement ring for his girlfriend, but she turned him down. He can’t return the ring and doesn’t want to keep it as he considers it bad luck, so he’s staging a treasure hunt!

Anyone keen to pick up the ring, valued at NZ$5,000 ($3,268), will need to be in New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington, on Saturday to join the hunt, the Dominion Post newspaper reported.

Clues to the ring’s whereabouts will start being posted on social networking site Twitter (http:/twitter.com/donoogle_com) at 8 a.m. local time on Saturday (2000 GMT on Friday).

oh man that 'foods i have eaten' log

i found that guy through my reader (he's the one who did the funny jello and popcorn animations i posted elsewhere), and i just discovered he follows jon williams' (wizard is hungry) twitter.

small lolworld.

i always figured that would happen sometime, worlds collide, convergence. nevertheless i'm shocked and sort of amazed now that it has.

tweeter i've been reading re. iran:

@StopAhmadi

pretty interesting to watch the real-time reporting and engagement of twitter users all over the world

it's kind of beautiful

"Please @Twitter and @ev don't take down twitter, for the iranian ppl #iranelection"

cheesy like you'd expect it to be, but this cnn segment regarding youtube has some good info

oh dear. the twitter trend spells his name "micheal jackson."

17,000+ tweets in about 3 minutes

twitter fixed the misspelling i think. that was nice of them.

oh shit mj totally knocked #iranelection off the trends

lyrics are perfect.

recommended watching at least through first chorus. don't watch past 0:54 if you don't want to see injured protesters. never gets too terrible though.

i kind of hate trending topics now

wait why

cuz lots of people tweet trending topics just so they get their names on the list. they don't even say anything, just #trendingtopic1 #trendingtopic2, etc.

also the topics are mostly really dumb, like "poor joe jonas cried on stage cuz camilla broke up wit him"

don't mean to be a twitter snob. i just like it so much better when it's interesting, and not just about boring celebrities.

but you love that jonas brother

oh it was THAT brother? well then never mind.

lxy that #camilla is such a cruel bitch how dare she do that to poor #joe?! 28 seconds ago from web

don't know if this is any better but

COUNT Kid Rock out as a fan of Twitter. "It's gay. If one more person asks me if I have a Twitter, I'm going to tell them, 'Twitter this shit, motherfucker,' " the shaggy-haired rocker tells Rolling Stone. "I don't have anything to say, and what I have to say is not that relevant. Anything that is relevant, I'm going to bottle it up and then squeeze it onto a record somewhere."

Something is technically wrong.
Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.

@occupiedcairo

@riverdryfilm
@monasosh
@ellozy

now following those, and also

@AJEnglish
@alaa

easier than having 6 extra tabs open ;)

@monasosh is a good one, she's been in tahrir, along with her mother and brother (@alaa) (and lots of other people), since i don't know when... yesterday at least. her dad was arrested yesterday, they don't know where he is but believe he's safe.

she's very upbeat, posts crowd pics that give a good sense of how many people are there.

told a funny story about helping a stranger who'd been injured by a thrown rock; he commented on her chin injury/stitches; she confessed she'd fallen down at work the previous day; lols all around.

<3 @monasosh: Seems like ppl don't believe we actually took over the parlimant st,they can't stop offering us food & blankets. Hehe revolution spa

ps for the record: her dad was released several days ago :)

مبروووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووك

wonder what it says. i imagine something like yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. hope so.

incidentally:

the vote was 10-0 in favor, with 5 abstentions.

resolution 1973.

if you c/p arabic into an ilx page, you have to put the cursor at the left-most end of the line to get to the next line. funny!

this is a good reminder that the tweeters in libya (and elsewhere) are young people with the same concerns as all young people:
