I know ... online social networking being overrated and all ... but have you tried twitter.com ? I created an account a few months ago but didn't really use it until now, when I found out that some people in my field of expertise use it and it's added value to my online networking efforts.

So ... are you a twit ? Or do you prefer to stay a twat ?

worst


thread

JustErin said:

it was cuz it made me rofl ... and it still does

admit it, that truleyloved alter is you, isn't it ?

Imago said:

tweet me some ...


and no, I could never achieve the level of your threads, ever.

Shouldn't that read TWAT, so Dan and Erin feel at home too?

HamsterHuey said:

if you don't tweet, you're a twat. That's the essence of the discussion.

BlueZebra said:

I rahter had the notion tweeters were twats, really.

HamsterHuey said:

oh no, you're so wrong ... we are twits !

BlueZebra said:

You sound like a twat. Forgive me for mixing the two up.

I've never used twitter but I gotta use some crap called Second Life cuz some dork in a meeting went on and on about. Look, I don't wanna learn nuthin' new so shut it in the meetings.
Gatdam know it all do-gooders! ( Uh-oh Alien might be rubbing off on me. )

I thought u were gone fishing...

SCNDLS said:

REALLY?!?! You use Second Life???

so...

how's that workin' for ya?

RenHoek said:

Okay, see, I'm 'sposed to be using it in preparation for a meeting next month. I haven't quite gotten around to it yet tho.

But why do you say it like that? What have you heard about it?

SCNDLS said:

It's a whole virtual reality game type thingy...



I don't know if you're into that kind of thing but you create an Avatar that "looks" like yourself and it's all 3-D and stuff... I feel it's more a game than a serious work app but I could just be behind the curve...

be kinda cool for the org tho'... but I digress...

I used it for about 30 mins. my avatar had wings and I could fly (which was neat) but the servers were laggin' and it just came across as wierd, if not fake as hell...

Use it for a meeting?? I dunno...

RenHoek said:

That's what I got out of it too, very similar to some kinda gaming BS which I'm not into. Someone demo'd it in a meeting last month and I thought it was completely inappropriate for work. But with a lot of these companies they like to jump on a bandwagon without really investigating shit first. I'm shonuf draggin' my feet on this.

SCNDLS said:

fuck Secondlife.

Actually, coorps like IBM have golf tournaments and such on SL, and hold meetings there. Something about bringing the global 'virtual teams' together.

As for the 'virtual offices' and representing, most companies (Cisco, Dell, ...) did (or are considering to) close shop.

BlueZebra said:

Thank you voice of reason...

that's what I thought!

RenHoek said:

there's a 'union' (worker's association ??) here in Belgium that has a virtual office in Second Life I'm just waiting for the first strike on there .
How do you put virtual tires on fire ?

TWEET WEDDINGS!!

Twit? Twat? what is this thread really about????

JustErin said:

you've met him before taking the leap right ?

BlueZebra said:

I chatted on the org and webcammed.

That's all it takes, right?

I was flying on a TWA flight once. The stewardess asked me, "Would you like some TWA coffee, TWA soda or TWA juice?"

I said, "I would like some TWA tea".

It was two weeks before my wife would talk to me again. And TWA banned me forever.

at first I thought you said" do you twat?"

OH HELL NO!!!

I need my glasses
