I find these to be some of the funnier fuckers.

Question! How do I get one's Twitter posts (it's a fan page) to connect to FB? Can I set this up to go both ways? Help!

Hey! I'm making a conscious effort to use Twitter more. Too many of my co-workers are on facebook and it's cramping my style. I've added a bunch of folks from this thread. Feel free to follow me: keychung if you feel like.

Thread Starter 
My twitter followers jumped when I started working on On the Road. Wonder if they will drop now that I am done? And yeah, they were all Twilight/Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson freaks.

I use the standard Twitter app that's available on Facebook, and that has worked just fine for me. I tweet, and it shows up on FB instantaneously. There may be better third party solutions, but that's worked fine for me. There's also one called Selective Twitter that lets you pick and choose which Tweets you want to post.

This is what will help me get more engaged with Twitter. I set my account to only appear to my followers so this is exactly what I need so that I'm not spreading my social networking time too thin.

I'm not sure of the differences, but here's one called Twitter Fan Page Sync.

William Gibson describes the reasons (besides funny people) that Twitter is great in an interview with Wired:

Quote:
Wired.com: How about Twitter? More than most authors I’ve checked out, your tweet-happy avatar @GreatDismal seems to be most comfortable messaging and cool-hunting on the service. And in the novel, Twitter’s consistently used as a communication and parenting device, depending on the spook.

Gibson: Well, I discovered Twitter while I was writing the novel, and I immediately saw its odd potential for being a tiny, private darknet that no one else can access. I’m always interested in the spooky repurposing of everyday things. After a few days on Twitter, what was most evident to me is that, if you set it up right, it’s probably the most powerful novelty aggregator that has ever existed. Magazines have always been novelty aggregators, and people who work for them find and assemble new and interesting stuff, and people like me buy them. Or used to buy them, when magazines were the most efficient way to find novel things.

But now with Twitter, after following people who have proven themselves to be extremely adroit and active novelty aggregators, I get more random novelty every day that I can actually use. A lot of it just slides by, but a lot of it is stuff that I used to have to go through considerable trouble to find. And a lot of it is so beyond the stuff I used to be able to find, which is good.

Wired.com: It sounds like Twitter has successfully brought the social networker out of you.

Gibson: I guess Twitter is the first thing that has been attractive to me as social media. I never felt the least draw to Facebook or MySpace. I’ve been involved anonymously in some tiny listservs, mainly in my ceaseless quest for random novelty, and sometimes while doing something that more closely resembles research.

But I never wanted to be on Facebook. And to my surprise, I found that Twitter started to bring in new friends and connections. I suspect the difference is that it is less formatted, or not formatted at all. It hasn’t been constructed to provide me an experience in any particular way, which is a function of its minimalist architecture.

Wired.com: The deluge of novelty that Twitter provides reminds me of the line in Zero History where Milgrim’s therapist explains that “paranoia is too much information.” Do you think Twitter, as well as the exponentially evolving internet, is turning us all into paranoiacs?

Gibson: We’ve all got infinitely more soil for paranoia than we previously had before. But I don’t think it necessarily means we are more prone to grow it. But if we are prone to grow it, we could grow it more quickly and lavishly than we could when we only had a few newspapers and monthly magazines to act as fertilizer.
Just a great interview overall, but those are the bits relevant to this thread.

Anyone been trying out the new twitter? I think they've done a pretty good job. Has some of the obvious features that really should've been there from the start - finally you can properly follow conversation threads! Plus being able to see responses to tweets is a nice touch.

IT's similar to Tweetdeck.

I like it, but the sidebar's default view is ugly. And the convenience of the iPhone app means I'll probably never switch back.

I made a tweet, but thought it was too offensive if my mom saw it, so I deleted it. I'll share it here with you guys: "A pearl necklace, or - as it's known in the bear subculture - 'mayo dressing.' "
