It's like haik

  1. Twitter is source of some frustration to those enamored of sesquipedalianism and even approximately correct grammar. One soon finds 1self abbreving w/o oblig punc just 2 mk it fit.

  3. Well, not having any professional obligations to such an end, I have, thus far, successfully avoided facebook. I can sympathise, but I don't think I can quite imagine.

  9. I refuse to tweet without either a script doing most of the work or a clicky fullsize keyboard.

    That being said, I had to learn the twitter when I was writing a script to turn tweets into spoken words.

    RT = retweet, repeat someone else's tweet
    FF = follow friday, where one person would note other twitter feeds that should be followed.

    #wontfly should go into the text to speech engine as "hash tag won't fly"

    I hope that's not too basic for you.
