Stuart Posted March 29, 2014 Well, I just made a twitter account. Why not? @Sarias451 But, how does one start up their Twitter? Like, I have this. Now what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucantalas Posted March 29, 2014 Now you write inane thoughts with no meaning of 140 characters or fewer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted March 29, 2014 Or you be witty within a highly constrained format that's just enough for two sentences, but not three. But only those two options. There is no middle ground with Twitter, which is why I like it. Traditional first tweet is something dumb about how you made a twitter account Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenetic Pony Posted March 29, 2014 @freneticpony so unexpected right? But then I mostly tweet about graphics programming and the occasional bizarre rant against Hollywood hipsters insisting that film is better than digital. Probably because I've ended up playing the Twitter game because no one I know IRL uses twitter besides me. So it behooves me to satisfy me handful of twitter followers rather than using it as a communications service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben X Posted March 31, 2014 I remembered clicking through to follow forumites from a previous thread so, outside of philosophical debates on the nature of reality and perception: yup. I had to search for "timegentleman" to find it, though, rather than do a thread title search for "Twitter"! EDIT: here's a list of everyone's handles from the other thread and this thread so far.

taterdactyl Posted March 31, 2014 I'm trying to figure out why Twitter is the new hotness. Not sure I ever figured that out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted March 31, 2014 Or you be witty within a highly constrained format that's just enough for two sentences, but not three. Patton Oswalt already mastered the art of the twitter joke. When it comes to doing laundry, I firmly believe in using environment-friendly detergent and I ALSO believe whites and "darks" should be kept separate. Sorry if that sounds too "tree-huggy" to my conservative followers. Oh, you think repealing voting laws in the south is justified, you racist asshole? I suppose you ALSO believe that Hitler was absolutely right about the Jews. And I don't care how many "white power" redneck followers I lose by Tweeting that. These idiots who deny that clumsy change is real, and a pressing threat are no different from misogynists who claim that Women enjoy rape. Grow the fuck up, all of you. Why do right wing asshats want "Hollywood out of government", but don't want the Fred Thompsons or Arnold Schwarze Neggers out of government? Yes, please!

Badfinger Posted March 31, 2014 https://discover.twitter.com/first-tweet#SJHaack Here's to walking Jamie Moyer. I told you I was a sports person.

juv3nal Posted March 31, 2014 #ebz I've gone to Fallen London! http://www.failbettergames.com/echobazaar makes sense that I would have joined twitter to play a gaem. (it's a f2p game that gives you free actions if you spammed your twitter followers. still around though I don't play it anymore) edit: apparently the url has changed though. if anyone's interested, it's: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted March 31, 2014 My first tweet is very appropriate for these forums @chrisremo, @nickbreckon, @ja2ke "Gamers should prepare to be blown away" - IGN.com. As seen on Steam. http://twitpic.com/31r8rc Here's the picture: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shammack Posted April 1, 2014 setting up a twitter account, against my better judgment. 7:24 AM - 29 Mar 2007 (this was back when Twitter prompted you for updates by saying "What are you doing?" or something along those lines) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucantalas Posted April 1, 2014 Feeling sick... going to bed right away... Huzzah! My very first tweet had nothing to do with being on Twitter now! Also that was back in 2008... I didnt know I had a Twitter account that long ago...Feeling slightly better... might just play Megaman games all night instead. ...and that was my second tweet a few hours later. Clearly I had my priorities right in my first year of college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
