There are always going to be situations where you don't have access to a computer, are out with friends, busy with work or other things, etc... the list goes on and on. Just because someone doesn't live on their twitter account or forgets to check it, doesn't mean they should be looked down upon. I think those people that write things such as the "proper way to use twitter" really need to loosen up haha. Life's too short, there's no proper way to do anything lol just live. .-= O2O - Ordinary to Outstanding´s last blog ..<a href="http://ordinarytooutstanding.org/2010/02/24/monthly-project-update-3/">Monthly Project Update #3</a> =-.

]]> Comment on In Defense Of Twitter Automation by Mitch http://www.swollenthumb.com/2010/02/in-defense-of-twitter-automation/#comment-8365 Mitch Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:13:11 +0000 http://www.swollenthumb.com/?p=2028#comment-8365 I'll admit that I'm one of those folks who hates most Twitter automation. The only thing I have automated is having my blog posts show up whenever they go live, mainly because I tend to write most of my blog posts ahead of time. And if people see it, they know it's a blog post because it comes with its own mini-preamble. The thing is that if there's no preamble then sometimes I will respond to a person's post, thinking they're live because I happen to be live, and if I don't get a response I get irked. Every once in awhile I check someone's profile, and if I see they haven't been what I consider "social", as in haven't responded to anyone in their last 20 posts or so, I delete them. Now, maybe you intersperse your hourly posts with comments back to people, but if you haven't done so within 20 posts, and it happens to be one of those times when I'm checking, I would probably delete you and move on, especially if I don't know you that well already. So, that's one of those risks of automation if you ask me. .-= Mitch´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ImJustSharing/~3/uREykkQkvoI/">When Opera Isn’t Opera</a> =-.

The First is the best and the only one I own. The fact that It was Indepedent gave it the "realness" quality. After that, I think they took the "cartoonish" approach. That created a downward spiral. And Vanilla Ice appeared for who knows how much money. They knew that the second would sell because the first did so well. And followed with an ugly sequel. Ha! Sounds like you have a basis for a script Trey- a good one two. Dont forget that other movie that was released as a play.... "Comin Out of our Shell" I believe It was calked. Oh the humor.

And yet, I have to, although I can't talk about the third movie because I didn't see it. I didn't see it because the second movie was so horrible compared to the first one. Man, I loved that first one so much that I watched it over and over again. The second one; ugh. I didn't like how anyone looked, I didn't like how emasculated Splinter seemed, I didn't like how positively cartoonish the villain seemed, and I hated that Vanilla Ice was in it in a stupid capacity also. Come on, they're rapping while one of the big fight scenes was going on; ugh again. Sometimes there's so much charm in a first movie that a second can't touch it. I hear that's what happened when they tried to create Blair Witch II; at that point the mystery was gone, so why try to go back to that? .-= Mitch´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ImJustSharing/~3/gdnDmunRuVg/">Cleavage; Yeah, I’m Going There!</a> =-.
