Advanced Twitter 101.1 (not an FM radio station.)

March 30, 2008

In follow-up to my previous basic Twitter instructional posting, I have added a few things for you, now that you’re ready… Grasshopper.

1. Sometimes you will notice that I put the @username in the middle of my Tweet instead of at the beginning, so it doesn’t show up in their replies. I’m not doing this to be mean or confusing. I do it that way so every one of my followers sees the Tweet. It is somewhat practical when replying to people who have less that 200 or so followers. I know they will see it, but so will many others, and “@username” may get some attention from it. ;)

2. Don’t anger the power hungry moderators of Leo Laporte’s chat room by asking Leo if he is on @Very Green Team, or they will kick you out without warning and then deny they ever did it. This item has nothing to do with Twitter. I just added it to amuse myself.

3. Leo’s listener @TooHip did a great job following the instructions in my Basic Twitter Manual, as evidenced by the hysterical photo below.

That’s all for this moment.

Maserati shopping for NetDorks

November 27, 2007

I went online this Cyber-Monday to get a total deal on a Maserati, But apparently I typed the URL for Beverly Hills Maserati incorrectly and inadvertently wound up at a porn site called Technorati ??? I didn’t really mind all the nekedness, but I was hoping there would be pictures of iJustine, CaliLewis, AmberMac or Leo Laporte there.  Oh well, “live and learn.”  I guess I’ll have to keep driving my crappy Ferrari for another year. I just got it washed but the rims are still dirty. I’m afraid to ask, but isn’t there a phrase I can relay to my house boy Kato… a request to have my rims cleaned?

P.S. I can’t login to my LiveDoor account because amazingly, I still don’t speak Japanese.
