I don't understand people who use facebook and myspace and tweet.

If you want friends - why not go out and make REAL friends?

isnt the concept of these sites to stay in contact with your friends..
with this fast moving global society we live in now.. its hard to keep up with everyone.. so tweet, facebook lets you keep in touch with your friends..

Last time I checked I wasn't a bird so I don't go, "tweet, tweet." I heard of some people landing good jobs in America by tweeting like an online bird.

I love such sayings...fast moving world....how fast does your world move I-guy? How urgent does contact have to be with friends and more to the point how did our friends ever manage to survive before we tweeted them that we were having a good coffee or watching the clouds... Laughing

Good grief this is attention disorder being fed to the point of mordid obesity....

Sorry..gotta go...in hurry...world moving too fast..must figure out vector and location along with status of all friends worldwide... Wink

Twitter can be pretty entertaining while desk warming all day. Following some well known comedians and writers and such.

Also, there is a thing called Hantweet. You can send them a text and they will update your twitter. I've never used it, but a friend told me about it.

I'm confused about you guys talking about all this free time deskwarming in public school. I'm in a public school and am very much busy and exhausted, but I get 3 free hours at the desk on Friday. I sit down and rest for 1 hour Friday morning and then do lesson prep for 2 hours Friday afternoon. Basically all other times I'm on my feet teaching or doing something else school related. It's busy. Little time to tweet or do anything. Ah the weekend.....


Really? How many hours do you teach? I have 20 hours of teaching a week, which is near the max. The only day I feel really busy is on Mondays. In which I have 6 classes. Are you teaching more than 22 hours? If they are asking you to do anything else then you are entitled to overtime.

However, I've noticed it will occasionally drop tweets.

I use this service: http://spic.kr/

I can send a shotmail to a special email the website has given me, which then posts to twitter. I also added the twitter app to facebook, and now I can take a pic with my phone and have it on facebook in about 2 seconds. I can also add text with the picture.
