Twitter Jealousy (Twittealousy?)

[SaintWaldo]

Anyone else here corruptingly jealous of the Escapist Twitter conversation? It's like watching a group of cool kids jabbering in a glass case with the sound piped out; you can hear it all, you can come up with the most wicked zings, but never deliver them where they matter.

Hmmm. I think I've just demonstrated that Escapist's Twitter feed is pretty much exactly like Friends. Sorry about that.

(Feel free to leave your thoughts on the Twitter feed, or even better, your own asynchronous non sequitur reply to any particular Twitter post [Twiit?] hereabouts)

I've never read The Escapist's before, just go to twitter and start one up with your own friends. Mine chiefly consists of people barking 140 letter jokes about the games they're playing.

I would do anything for love, but quote Meatloaf

on topic, meh, microblogging is cool, it's not that big of a deal

 

[SaintWaldo]

I'm not talking about just any old microblog, or the phenomenon in general. I'm talking about the one we have here, at Escapist.

We're all a little strange here.

Speak for yourself, freak boy.

Strange is in the eye of the beholder...I'm eccentric.

Feel free to start a twitter account of your own and sent @replies to people.

We even have some profile integration like so: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/friends/SaintWaldo?view=twitter

It'll show the twitter feeds of your friends combined, similar to the front page feed.

Oh wait this isn't my twitter box? I am so sorry!

FYI...All my twittering represents the corporate interests of 3DO and Trip Hawkins circa 1994.

Cold hard cash is the only thing that will get me to sell out my twitter superiority!
