You can actually change your Twitter username from the settings pane, without disrupting your followers and feeds. More sites need to offer that option. (It even works for changing the displayed capitalization of your existing username.)

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong

It's so nice. I used it for my work account when I thought of a much better presentation of the name. The only thing that "broke" was prior mentions don't exactly link over any more, but that's not the end of the world. Should be that easy everywhere... I'm looking at you Apple ID.

Is it bad twitter etiquette to try to get someone's attention when they're not responding to emails? I'd DM the person but they don't follow me so I can't.

If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong.

You're not stalking someone, are you?

But seriously, I was trying to do a business deal awhile back and I wasn't getting a response via email so I used twitter and they responded very quickly. It probably depends completely on the context and how much the person uses Twitter's @mentions and @replies.

Reading through my twitter timeline makes me think of those scenes in movies where the protagonist is stumbling through a noisy bazaar with pitchmen selling things and preachers yelling things. It's surreal.

Tell me this - how does someone with this description in their profile: "Advertise your product and services for free.List them at..."

Get 3000 followers? Why on earth would anyone follow that person?

I'm sure they're all spambots, just like that guy is. Spambots following spambots to up their follower count to make them seem more... legitimate.

I used to block anyone that followed me with more than 1000 or so followers, and especially anyone who claimed to be a "social media expert" or advertiser. Then it got too difficult to maintain and I gave up.

I don’t have a Twitter account (though I’m not as against it as I am against Facebook), but I follow quite a few people on Twitter by manually looking them up (mostly sports people – it’s an amazing insight into their lives, lives which were completely inaccessible before Twitter). But has Twitter recently added a requirement of being signed in to see other people’s posts? I never had a problem until a few weeks ago, when I couldn’t see some posts in Safari on iOS without logging in – which of course I can’t do.

@greychristian, of course. Same as my MC handle.

I hardly ever use the thing, but may start to as I'm afraid of my favorite websites going down and being left alone in the dark.

So it goes.

See, this is what I loathe about Social Media. I do a simple Google search, see bobsky there, click on his LinkedIn page and have a look. 5 seconds later I get 3 emails from LinkedIn saying "Hey! You've been missing this!" "Hey! You have a bunch of people waiting for you to click that button!" "Hey! You have a shit-ton of promote things that people have added about you, but you don't have a fucking clue what they mean or what they do!"

Ah well. My profile is pretty amateurish since I only gave 2 seconds thought to it way back when I started one. I need to put a proper one up.

Fucking NSA-lite these SM things, I swear.

That said, your will is my command.

So it goes.

I boycotted LickedIn when they started banning prostitutes from using the service. I can't support a company I have no respect for.

On topic: without Twitter I would have never found what may be the funniest thing I've read this year:

I thought Twitter was one of the worst social media ideas ever when it came out, but now I would pretty strongly argue that it is one of the best social networks ever made and one of the most important sites on the internet. Just goes to show... something.

Look up "shadow accounts" and realize your network has been mapped out by your lazy friends giving up their entire address book.

Anyway, please do NOT follow my friend Captain Drew @PiratePalooza because he's a bumbling idiot.
