And then everyone stopped Tweeting

Okay fine, I’m on Twitter now. I can’t promise I’ll update often, but feel free to add me on there. Is there a way I can add my status to my blog? I don’t have sidebars so is there a way to add it without a widget? HTML code that I could put right into my template, perhaps? I think it would look fun underneath the toolbar up top, but don’t know how I could do it. If anyone knows, please help.

    I use the twitter tools plugin and a little php code in my template which works fine. It also gives you the option to update twitter every time you post a new blog so the whole internet will never miss one again. If you need help, give me a shout.

    I got nothing with regard to Twitter, since I haven’t used it. I have the same fear about Twitter as I do about IM — that suddenly there will *always* be a way to get distracted, and I won’t get anything done ever again.

    Thanks Sven! I’ll have to check that out.

    Heather: I agree. I stopped using AIM a few years ago for that very reason. I found whole nights just disappeared chatting online. Now at least they disappear due to TV watching. Much more fulfilling. :-)

    Well, at least this isn’t a post about a TV show I know nothing about and therefore, I can’t comment on it. Nope, this ones about an Internet thingee-ma-bob that I know nothing about and therefore, I can’t comment on it. Hmmm….Torchwood’s pretty cool…yeah, that’s about it.

    :)

    HUGS….

    There. I think I got it. Can you guys let me know if you see it up top? Any problems? Suggestions?

  6. Dave S. on February 23, 2009 at 9:15 am

    I see the twitter thing at the top! That’s really cool. I’ve been getting a flood of Twitter followers lately — What’s up with that? I used to use it via my iPhone all the time, but got away from it. Now it makes me want to use it again! :-)

  7. Craig on February 23, 2009 at 9:24 am

    Geez Dave S. Of all the posts to pull you out of comment retirement, it’s this lame twitter post?

    What has the world come to?

  8. Dave S. on February 23, 2009 at 9:25 am

    I’m dave491 if any Puntabulous folk want to follow me (which I’m sure you *all* want to, considering the profound nature of my twitters…)

    (okay, that just sounded dirty…)

  9. Dave S. on February 23, 2009 at 9:26 am

    Craig: I know! :-P Work’s been busting my ass lately, so my time last week was drastically short. :-( This week isn’t going to be much better, but I miss everyone too much to be away for too long.

    I am not a twitterer, but will enjoy your status updates on your blog! I am obsessed with facebook status updates.

  11. Tam on February 23, 2009 at 9:42 am

    Umm, yeah, Twitter. Okay. I see it, that’s as far as I’ll go. I’m already on-line way more than is healthy, if I get hooked on Twitter I’ll need an intervention. (I probably already do but I’m living in denial at this point.)

    I’ve never used Twitter, so I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with a Twitter feed. I like that you put it at the top of your page so I don’t have to figure anything out.

    In TV news, Legend of the Seeker was a clip show. WTF. I hate clip shows. I have to twiddle my thumbs during the clips waiting for the plot to return.

  13. Ryan R. on February 23, 2009 at 11:51 am

    Perhaps I should change my avatar. It’s been two months since Christmas.

  14. Craig on February 23, 2009 at 11:56 am

    Ryan R: Yeah, I was totally disappointed in this week’s episode. The idea of Darken Rahl giving Richard visions to gain information could have been really interesting, but they obviously just wanted to be lazy and have a clip show. Boo!

  15. Tam on February 23, 2009 at 11:59 am

    Ryan: Find an Easter bunny one.

  16. Ryan R. on February 23, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    Cupcakes!

  17. Ryan R. on February 23, 2009 at 12:09 pm

    Tam: I chose one with a cupcake, which is kind of Easteresque, but not so seasonal that it would look silly if I still have it this summer.

  18. Tam on February 23, 2009 at 12:15 pm

    Ryan: Sigh. Work has suddenly taking to blocking avatars so I see you have a lovely red X, when I get home I will see it. You can never go wrong with cupcakes.

    I never checked into Twitter because no one would be interested in my mundane existence, but the ability to stalk with permission is tempting.

    And I knew Dave S. couldn’t stay away for long. Who could resist the constant adoration? Or maybe it’s just me.

  20. Mark on February 23, 2009 at 12:19 pm

    And finally IE is showing me as the Borg Queen. “New Look, Same Great Taste”.

    Try not to throw up a little after reading that.

  21. Dave S. on February 23, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    I couldn’t help but feel people were talking about me…

  22. Polt on February 23, 2009 at 1:38 pm

    talking about you, I don’t know. Thinking about you…and your twitters..absolutely. :)

    HUGS..

  23. Jere on February 23, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    See, what would have been really funny is if you signed up for twitter and then the whole thing went into 2 weeks of constant fail whale appearances… which is what happened when I signed up.

  24. Milo on February 23, 2009 at 3:12 pm

    One word: FINALLY. I’ve heard of ‘late to the party’ but you took the biscuit on this one our kid!

  25. Michelle M. on February 23, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    Crap. Now I have to learn about the Twitter.

  26. adam on February 23, 2009 at 8:43 pm

    i’d suggest using Ping.fm <– you can update your twitter, facebook status, and a bazillion other things, all at the same time.

  27. hello haha narf on February 23, 2009 at 9:06 pm

  28. Craig on February 23, 2009 at 9:07 pm
