Book on Twitter? Where?
I lurk there on daily bases, but rarely tweet. |

maybe it is because many of my friends are super socially engaged, but I find it super helpful. Besides talking to friends it is good for company info, band info, JOBS, breaking news, etc etc. I'm pretty sure that every major event in the last couple years, I have gotten more info from twitter, than normal media. |

Yes, the amount of info about the earthquake in Japan, Libya, London looting etc on Twitter was amazing. Not all of it true, though.
I follow one guy in Japan, and from his tweets I heard about most of the quakes before from the press. |

| The earthquake and tornado last week... All on twitter. There are very few 'big stories' that I don't first hear about on twitter. Mostly through tweeting trends. Especially celeb deaths |

Mili, this is the book I'm reading:
http://www.amazon.com/Twitter-Book-Tim-OReilly/dp/0596802811
so, since you two seem to know your stuff, please tell me HOW do I start? What programs do I need? H.e.l.p. ;P
I am NOT using twitter with my phone, btw, I have the most simple mobile phone you could ever imagine (well, these days) and am very happy with it, lol :D |

I'm on my computer, and from it at twitter.com.
I've searched interesting subjects and people and follow them. Sometimes people I follow follow someone interesting, so I join in. With the big news days it's all about trending, and finding the most effective #words to follow. |

People (in general) are not interested in something/someone until they are told they can't have it, it doesn't even need to be so far as "You can't have it",
Stop playing mind-fuck fucking games,
If you want it, take it and if you don't and, if it fucks off elsewhere, you had your fucking chance now let it lie in pastures new.
Stop fucking with people's heads, usually they love you simply because they do, if you wanna take the chance on finding something better, good luck to you, but you can't have it both ways. You made your choice, fucking live with it.
I still care about you, deeply, but I really don't give a shit about your new boyfriend, and I especially don't give a shit about.... ya da da da,
Fucking sort it out

Was indeed, now I'm awake since 6:00am on my day off.
Sorry for the rant but got a phone call totally out of the blue from an ex last night who said, and I quote, "I don't want to be with you but I don't want anyone else to be with you either as it makes me jealous" wtf is that all about ???

Saying that is not cool but I would say feeling this way is rather natural after a break up. |

That maybe so Megg, but 5 fucking years after said break up. I think she's just cuckoo.

And coming up with offensive general statements about women just screams class! intelligence! catch!. I don't know Andrew, maybe you should start searching for that Depp lookalike...
