Tweeting for love?

I recently found a site called Twitter Local, which offers a way to generate an RSS feed that filters out tweets around a certain area. Who knows, I might be able to find a nice girl I could get together with for snugglies and lubs this way. :D

I narrowed the search parameter to within five miles, and the first Twitterer I found went by…..

Pouncing on Pownce

Pownce. Bah. Just another Twitter-like fad that would ultimately serve me no purpose. Why would I want to join yet another network of butt ugly geekballs, none of whom I even knew personally, much less would share anything with?

But then I got some Pownce referrals, which led me to …..

The Sound of One Man Tweeting

A writer at MSNBC recently took a look at the Twitter phenomenon and concluded that Twitter was ultimately boring and stupid. Maybe instead of spending her time clapping her hands and gleefully exclaiming, “Oooooh look at me, look at me! I actually get paid to write the crap I do!” she might see there’s more to it than just announcing to the world when you recently…..

Those Darned Tweetheads

I really like Twitter and what it offers, but they’ve been getting on my nerves lately. IMs have been getting dropped, service has been erratic, and the lag time in sending tweets or checking my own Twitter page makes me think I’m on dial-up again. When it does work I love it, since it provides an cool alternative for sideblogging/asides, a relatively new phenomenon where bloggers…..
