Tweetbacks plugin not right

Tweetbacks turns twitterers into spammers – I have a 100 tweetbacks now in the blog, and deleting them fast.

One of the offenders is also twitrans, which is asking for a lot of not nice translations.

Ahh, it was nice while it lasted.

Twitter grows like bread

Twitter gets a 420% growth over the same period last year, as reported by Mashable! Of course, that is after the failwhale made a gracious exit, and all the Pr companies discovered the possibilities of spam through unestablished channels.

Furthermore, there is this addictively task that consists of nothing more than the writing of short brief stories, a speech of impossibly short discourses, a conversation involving small utterances that require a little bright bulb and nothing more. For this is ADD, attention deprived dialog, a little bit of salt on your morning news to make them more palatable.

I’m off to tweet. Chau, tuíteres.

Twittering words

The famous TC50 are already creating a huge reaction; A funny one? twíttere rands, who says

Read the company description — tell me how long until you are forced to punch yourself in the face. My record: 15 words – http://tr.im/1a5

It makes a beautiful poster, though.

Change your social media

I am almost ashamed: I have spent the brief interludes that daily life affords to try to connect my wireless gain using my trusty Ubuntu on my crusty Dell, and yet no wifi.

Yes I have read them all, and I have had as much success as s cold fusion physicist: it works, but I can’t repeat the miracle.

On other news, I started twittering again, which interesting enough of a change of pace. After the Reddit Apocalypse and their dismal views on economy, life and the future of the planet, it is refreshing to see the aggregation of random tidbits, not enough to distract but intriguing enough to explore.

Reddit fails at social media by bypassing community – you contribute and engage, but seldom with people, just with random pieces of comments. Memes arise and die within days, and the collective knowledge fades as rapidly as the collective mood changes. In Twitter at least I get a lot of links to blogs and the like. It’s got more focused content.
