As summary
Someone mentioned it there, and set up an account.

I don't believe it's an authorised feed or account. [UnaBubba, Oct 02 2009]

I've tried out Twitterfeed - it should update every 30 minutes... I'm running away from the computer right now ; I'll check back in an hour. [Jinbish, Oct 02 2009]

I've signed up to TwitRobot too. Let's see if that does anything... [Jinbish, Oct 02 2009]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! |
|
| |
Does everything have to be Twitterized? |
|
| |
The HB is already on Twitter. How about doing a cursory search before posting? |
|
| |
Yes it is. It's also on Facebook, sort of. Since Twitter is utterly imponderable, this makes hardly any difference to me at all. |
|
| |
Warhol got it wrong. He should have said, "In the future, everyone will have 140 characters of anonymity" |
|
| |
Twitter is a pile of shit. I'm hopeful, but not expecting, Google Wave to be a much better app. |
|
| |
No; there is a bakesperson account, but it does not post the new ideas stream. |
|
| |
I'm hoping Twitter will disappear up its own arse soon. Waste of fucking time. |
|
| |
I'm totally addicted but then the groups/people I follow are interesting... |
|
| |
[UB] ... don't like it, don't use it? Much like dentists... if you disagree with them, just don't go in. |
|
| |
I'm trying to imagine a [Vernon] idea in 140 characters... |
|
| |
Why Twitter, [v3]? What would that achieve that either HB Low res version or RSS feeds do not? |
|
| |
//[UB] ... don't like it, don't use it?// |
|
| |
Not why I don't like it. The world is full of crap like it that I don't use... texting, for instance. |
|
| |
Because it will attract a whole generation of writing-impaired dimwits. |
|
| |
[UB], you don't use texting? What do you do while driving, then? |
|
| |
//[UB] ... don't like it, don't use it?// |
|
| |
Hah, 140 characters or less can be quite difficult for some peeps. |
|
| |
//Why Twitter, [v3]? What would that achieve that either HB Low res version or RSS feeds do not?//
Twitter is now a popular news aggregating tool... provided the source provides a feed. Would just idea titles, names (if they fit), and links to the full idea. A way to follow all the new ideas whilst following Twitter |
|
| |
Ok - so you suggest Twitter because it is becoming a popular site that some find useful etc. Fair enough. |
|
| |
You could do it yourself. Get an open source RSS feed reader and hack it to push new feed items onto a Twitter account. |
|
| |
{I'm tempted to give this a bash myself} |
|
| |
Edit: I've tried to create point Twitter to a HB RSS feed. It should update every 30 mins. Let's see if anything happens. |
|

[about the "bakesperson" twitter account]
// I don't believe it's an authorised feed or account |
|
| |
It's a feed I edit from recent posts, but it's not an automated feed in the style that Jinbish set up. It has no links to click on under the assumption that you already know where to find the site if you want it. I like editing, high content density, restraint, summaries, that kind of stuff. |
|
| |
There is a twitter user "halfbakery" that I and, as far as I know, this site, have absolutely nothing to do with, and that I see some halfbakers follow - I guess since that person never posts anything, they haven't noticed. |
|
| |
// It's a feed I edit from recent posts//
I was going to say - the automatic feeds that I have ham-fistedly put together are *rubbish*. Admittedly, there are probably better tools and there are definitely more savvy folk than me, but clearly the RSS can do you a good shift if you are prepared to use them. |
|
| |
{Besides, if you were going to aggregate news etc., there are aggregator clients that take feeds from RSS, Twitter, and so on.) |
|
| |
Twitter is by far the best resource I have found for keeping up with the latest celebrity death hoaxes. |
|
| |
Yeah, there was one about Michael Jackson a short while
ago. |
|
| |
Twitter makes my brain die. It makes zero sense to me, as i've said before (sorry to bore you).
But the existence of a Twitter member called "halfbakery" makes my mind boggle because if they ever looked at their account there, wouldn't they wonder what the hell was going on? |
|
| |
Sorry, I didn't realise that the [bakesperson] account was you, [jutta]. I feared it was some wannabe. |
|
| |
I have visited Twitter maybe a half-dozen times. Each time I log in, I feel as though I'm an adult, sitting in a classroom filled with 9-year-old girls. Even Stephen Fry's acerbic wit and aplomb seem to have evaporated once he starts posting, from what I can see by reading his twitbits. |
|
| |
How about you edit your pronouncement on the link, then, such as to not confuse other people any further? |
|
| |
Short text messages are their own form; it would be foolish to expect people to be good at that just because they're good at something else. |
|
| |
// from what I can see by reading his twitbits. // |
|
| |
Put the flags out. [UB] has at last learned to read .... |
|
| |
Soon, it will be walking and chewing gum at the same time (the advanced course). |
