Sweet! Eagerly awaiting a deluge of elemental twitter updates

Finally a good reason to use my twitter account...

What's Twitter? *cough*

Any updates are good updates.

Thanks for teh info Boogie

I've been on Twitter more since discovering the joy of various desktop apps for twitter - Twhirl, then Tweetdeck and now Mixero - so having another interesting "person" to follow is good.

But also bad, since now I'll have even more opportunities to read things instead of do things.

Liking the updates so far, twit-bits every now and then as development progresses would be great!

If this is a genuine question, it's a generally silly "social network" where you're limited in your posting to 140 characters. It's been around for a while, but really just became the latest fad in the US as the mainstream media started making a huge deal out of it.

I'm just glad to hear the focus is back on Elemental!

Thanks for the screenshot of the new pewter spider! It looks great.

My phone will not let me reply on Twitter and I can't go there from work.

Sammual

Oh, the horror. Reading and writing were in bad enough shape before people started twitting from the floor of Congress.

And yes, I know they want me to use a different verb. That's because they're properly embarassed about the whole thing despite hoping they can make piles of money from it. Twits.

I hate Twitter, and I hate Facebook. I just don't want to be a part of it.....

You don't have to be. You don't have to join twitter to read it. Hell, if you use the RSS feed, you don't even have to visit twitter to read it.

I understand twitter hate, but Stardock's goal here is just to have an easy way to provide updates. That means more updates, which is something people have been begging for.

Twitter does suck, but you don't have to sign up to read at least.

The #elemental chat will be getting a lot more action once the alpha/betas actually roll out and there will be time and reason for most of them to be on it. I get home very close to their closing time, but the only one I see there now is Cari. Trent was there when he was working too.

So now we just goof off there

CaesarsGhost: I can't use IRC...I get sucked into conversations too easilly    This let's me post info between builds without feeling like I'm ignoring people in a chat room

I just subscribed to the RSS feed - no need to join Twitter.  This may be one of the best applications of micro-blogging I've heard of yet, though, right up there with Dell using it for advertising.  Reading what someone had for lunch, though...no thanks.
