(Some Guy) Amusing Judge allows Twitter-using DA to 'tweet' upcoming muder trial over defense objections. Prosecution's argument? DA only has 10 or so followers so "it's just not that big a deal." That'll probably change now   (coloradodaily.com) divider line 40

What's a muder trial?

 
opiumpoopy 2009-07-10 05:03:06 AM  
Judge makes him read his tweets in court, and rules them as admissable, not admissable, or contempt of court.

Wouldn't mind seeing a publicity-whore DA locked up for contemptuous tweeting.

Doesn't that deal with most of the legal issues?

The 46 stages of Twitter by Shane Nickerson

1. Hear the word Twitter. Scoff.
2. Hear it again from someone else. Scoff again.
3. Hear about famous celebrity who is apparently "On Twitter." Scoff, but make mental note to check it out.
4. Log into Facebook to comfort self.
5. Sign up for Twitter.
6. Give up because it seems dumb.
7. Loudly criticize others on Twitter.
8. Follow @johncmayer, @aplusk, @rainnwilson, @wilw, @mrskutcher, @oprah, and one other person you actually know.
9. Post tweet that is a variant of: "Trying out this Twitter thing."
10. Attempt to dig a little deeper into Twitter.
11. Notice rampant usage of words: "Tweet," "Twitter," "Twitterverse," "Tweetie," "Tweetdeck," and something called "RT."
12. Scoff again, this time in confusion.
13. Tell friends you "tried that Twitter thing, but didn't get it and it's stupid anyway."
14. Log into Facebook because that site at least makes sense.
15. Read story about Twitter somewhere.
16. Log back into Twitter.
17. Try to avoid saying Tweet, Twitter, Twitterverse, Tweetie, Tweetdeck, and ReTweet.
18. Respond to @rainnwilson.
19. Curse self for fanning out.
20. Log off for 4 months.
21. Come back, just to see.
22. Post something relatively funny.
23. Get RT'd.
24. Discover that RT means ReTweet.
25. Make it your life mission to get RT'd.
26. Install Twitter app on your phone.
27. No longer ashamed to say "I've gotta Twitter that."
28. Attend events with the sole intention of "Tweeting" them.
29. Pray to get RT'd.
30. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
31. Close computer.
32. Open computer. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.
33. Think in 140 character sentences.
34. Compulsively check phone all day every day.
35. Tweet that you compulsively check phone all day every day.
36. Alienate actual people in your life in an attempt to impress ones you don't know.
37. Lose weight because you forget to eat.
38. Place phone by bed so you can check first thing in the morning.
39. Defend Twitter to the death from detractors.
40. Hear self, and vaguely recognize that you have become "That Guy."
41. Feel like, and start to behave like River Tam.
42. Vow to quit Twitter to preserve sanity.
43. Read this and change mind.
44. Think to self, "I should twitter that."
45. Recognize irony.
46. Twitter it.

This is the part where someone over 30 cautiously proposes that perhaps Twitter is not the end all be all of modern technology and then a witty and intelligent 20-something responds with a compelling retort along the lines of, "Go yell at a cloud oldster!"

/will generation gaps soon be only 5 years wide?

twitter is a useful business tool.

just don't follow egotistical people who tweet about taking a dump.

As a witty and intelligent 20-something, Twitter is stupid. I don't care if your shiat looks like Dom Deluise or that that cute boy with the locker at the end of the hall finally said "Hi" to you. I don't care if you are famous and took a shiat that looks like you. Twitter has it's uses but by and large, anything on Twitter that is worth me caring about, I'll hear about it without having to delve into the egotistical ramblings of a celebrity or high school freshman.

FIFY.

Really, Twitter fits a niche. I'm sure we could find another site, and twitter is just the flavor of the day like myspace, facebook, match.com, hotornot, and every other social networking site befor eand after it. However, twitter is one to actually stand up for something prior to being bought out (as we all know facebook sucks up to everything to make a buck now).

Sounds like you're a bit bitter? did Ashton Kutcher not follow you back after you added him?

 
Sugarmoobs 2009-07-10 10:35:35 AM  
I sound out of the loop by asking this and its a serious question. What is the point of Twitter? I had coworkers of mine who are always telling me I need to be on it. Why the hell would I want to post every inane detail of my day to people I know. I'm not important. Seriously, is that the point? I just don't get it.

/mid 30's is not "old"
//You kids can still stay off my lawn

No, it's more of a passive way to 'keep in touch' with people. I have it on my phone. I tweet if I see something here that really makes me laugh that I'd like to tell people about but it's not worth a phone call or an email. I don't tweet every day either, just when it seems like something neat to share.

There are people that go overboard and tweet every banal activity they go through, but most people I know that I follow just tweet little news blurbs or 'look at this cool picture I just took of my kid!' or 'i'm going to go see [insert band] tonight, pretty excited.'

If i want to know how so-and-so is doing, i can just check out their timeline. Some are pretty interesting, like Stephen Fry's. Others are just funny to have, like Abe Vigoda (obviously a gimmick twitter account, but lol anyway.)

You wouldn't want to post every inane detail of your day. And you don't have to. You can tweet whatever you'd like. And you can follow whoever you'd like. People seem to think you join twitter you're flooded with a thousand tweets from people telling you what they had for lunch. Twitter is what you make it (e.g. who you follow).

Twittering is more than just people. News, sports, local bar/restaurant/community deals/happenings. Tip of the iceberg.

I couldn't resist a good ad hominem. No, I'm not :) Like I said, twitter is fine, it'll be flavor of the month for 2-3 years, and then kaputz. Probably the same time a new social networking site arises plus allows people to post from mobile phones in the same sense.
