Name changes... I started as skye716 (I think). Then went to... something else... then MissSmartsies / something I don't remember / MissSmartsies / EternalHarkness / EternallyAnna.

Yeah I'm now EternallyAnna jsyk. Not that I am ever mistaken for someone else.

I personally love Twitter :) it's so much better than Facebook and it's a better way to communicate!

My Twitter: @itsJoez

A great fanclub which I'd love to join :]!

miju-kun July 25th, 2011 5:57 PM

Ooh, a twitter fanclub :).

@derpyghost

Why do you use Twitter?
Well it has a simple design, and even for newbies, it's very easy to use. In my FB, my classmates keep on posting chain mail but none of my classmates have twitter so I'm safe :).

Skip Class July 25th, 2011 6:02 PM

*follows new people*

Welcome to the club guys!

I know my classmates have twitter but they don't need to know what mine is xD

champagnepapi July 25th, 2011 6:54 PM

Just got a twitter and by god it's fun!

My username on there is LachlanKarpman

Why do you use Twitter?

I sort of just got one because it seemed like everyone else had one, to be honest.

Zet July 25th, 2011 7:52 PM

My twitter is zetnetroc

Feel free to follow me and I'll follow you back, and I use twitter because there's clients to use that don't require you to visit the website just to tweet. The only client I use on a computer is metrotwit and in my opinion it's the best one(Windows only though), and for mobile I use rowi.

Xyrin July 29th, 2011 7:01 AM

Oh everyone I changed my twitter to twitter.com/kingfurret. :)

aRedMoon July 30th, 2011 6:01 PM

What do you guys think of people that post updates _constantly_ about stupid stuff?

Like, there are a few people I follow that tweet at least 30 times a day, and mostly about stupid stuff.

(I'm not that much better, especially when I'm watching something... but yeah)

Nihilego July 30th, 2011 6:07 PM

I'm probably one of those people you're talking about, haha.

...especially when I'm watching something. I rattled off about 20 tweets earlier after watching 5 minutes of whichever Harry Potter movie was on TV, lol. ):

You probably mean me. xD I do that a lot.

Since I do it a lot I don't really care if someone tweets a whole bunch. As long as they aren't posting every 5 seconds for a few hours I'm fine.

Alternative July 31st, 2011 3:06 AM

For peopel who tweet a lot, it doesn't bother me, unless it's about pretty much nothing that we should care about (e.g. I'm taking a dump, I just finished taking a dump etc.). Sometimes the spammy tweets are interesting and something they do tick you off. One time during E3's Nintendo conference me and another guy spammed Twitter about the conference and it annoyed one of my friends, who follows me. I thought it was funny. :P

Ahaha, if you followed me (Which I dont think you do) you'd have to put up with that from me a lot. I tweet really unimportant stuff or lyrics.

But, I dont really mind it, if I do it then I cant really complain when other people do, and it can be interesting.

Cherrim July 31st, 2011 12:33 PM

I tweet a lot and about really mundane stuff so I try not to let myself be bothered by it much.

But I've unfollowed people who are worse than me. I had this one twitter friend whose timeline contsantly looked like this:
- oh hi it's really late all of a sudden
- sdklfjss how did it get so late
- i guess i should shower before bed
- but i'd rather stay on tumblr
- lsdjfksls
- sdkfjlsjfsljflakjwolerhuaijlas
- sdlkfjlsjfklsjfkshfei
- guys
- guess what omg sdkfjsl
- [link to some fandom picture]
- lmao forever
- oh no it's even later
- brb shower
- okay back
- i should go to bed but
- i'm gonna stay online longer
- guys my cat just walked into my room

etc. Omg it drove me nuts. :/

aRedMoon July 31st, 2011 1:23 PM

Omg that is crazy Erica. That's exactly the kind of people I was talking about. D:

(And I think I've gained like 10 followers from here... I'll check y'all out sometime soon and maybe follow back :D)

Cherrim July 31st, 2011 3:15 PM

Okay good. xD I read your post and went "oh dear, I hope I'm not the kind he means". Not that I've been super active on twitter lately but still!

:( Those kinds of people are just the worst. Sometimes new users are like that and then level off into normal updates but the ones who get worse... ugh, you just have to cut them off no matter how close you are to them, haha.

aRedMoon July 31st, 2011 7:43 PM

Yeah... and don't worry, I'd never unfollow you (:

(If I did, I think QC would kill me)

heh that's me sometimes xD
But usually for me the annoying thing is celebs who constantly retweet their fans... I mean like 10 fan retweets is fine but like 20ish get's annoying

Patatas Fritas August 2nd, 2011 12:13 PM

Just a note, I'm now @SnugglingYou
So if we could change that on the first posty thingy it would be much appreciated, thanks~

Retro Bug August 11th, 2011 12:13 AM

miju-kun August 12th, 2011 7:02 PM

Miyako August 12th, 2011 7:35 PM

Hi I use twitter too and wish to join this club. :D Find me @PixAlchemist .

Neptune Vasilias August 17th, 2011 6:02 AM

I'm joining cos...I use Twitter like everyday if I can! xD

I'm @CheekyCandle btw. I change my name every now and then so yeah, keep up with the insanity. xD

ash_pikachu_98 September 5th, 2011 12:49 PM

Why do you use Twitter? - @IanHerndon
I originally joined Twitter simply to hop on board to something new that I thought would eventually go mainstream and be a hot topic for a long time to come. Now it's actually part of my every day routine at work (that's right, I get paid to tweet lmao)

What do you tweet about?
I actually don't post super often (less than 600 as of today), but when I do it's typically something on an article I've read, replying to something someone else wrote about, or to share an experience I've had with a company I recently interacted with such as Domino's or T-Mobile. I'm not the type to post things like 'I just woke up.' or 'My back itches.' lol. I've got nothing wrong against people who do... I mean to each their own, I simply won't be following their tweets very often heh.

At work, my job five days a week is identifying online users who are talking about our brand. Whether it be positively, negatively, or just alongside another topic. One of my personal goals is to show users and our customers that we as a company are there for them, in the spaces they are, for anything they need. We reach out and engage users via our company's Twitter ID. As of right now we have thousands of employees and 2.4 million customers nationwide; I was fortunate enough to be the first ever employee to do what I'm doing right now, and am currently one of only six in the entire organization who represent our brand on Twitter the way we do.

miju-kun September 7th, 2011 4:46 PM

Now I changed my username to @hackermiju

aRedMoon September 7th, 2011 11:42 PM

So... the other day I was at work and my co-worker and I were bored, so we got talking about Twitter.

He checked mine out and was amazed that I was followed by a couple verified users.


...just a funny twitter story, kinda :P

Ah that's an interesting one to think about, that's actually never crossed my mind lol. Well now it has thanks to you!

Looks like I have 9 verified followers out of 3,998. Now what I'm curious about, is out of the 120million Twitter users, what overall ratio of that is verified? 1%? .001%?

Here's a nifty gfx showing my list analyzed.

FalconsDrummer September 18th, 2011 8:04 PM

Hi! I'm @FalconsDrummer.

I started using Twitter because I really like the way it's supposed to work. Unfortunately, though, it hasn't worked out that well for me yet, but I haven't given up. None of my real life friends or family get it, so they don't bother trying it (or they try it, make a couple "I'm trying twitter wut is this lols" tweets and then quit). So now I'm trying to use it to meet new people instead. I want to use Twitter to meet and communicate with people, rather than just have one monologue of my thoughts. Not that that part isn't fun, too.

I generally just tweet about random things that cross my mind which I think are worth sharing. I tend to talk about interesting things I might be doing at school (I'm a music student), or just funny little sayings I hear in conversation.

I don't have many followers (25, and I follow 97), but that's fine with me. I've never intended to become some kind of celebrity or anything. Although I did try to use an alternate account where I remained more anonymous and tried to gain more followers (NOT with that "follow-for-follow" garbage, though). But, meh, I'd rather just be me. Anyway, hello!

TornZero October 12th, 2011 9:58 PM

Whoa! Almost dead! Not good.

So, let's start it back up with a question! Not sure if it's been asked before, but I'm asking it anyway!

How many of your followers/followees do you personally know in real life?

Out of both my followers and followees, I know only one personally. We're in the same school district, and I found out that she had a Twitter account, so I shared mine with her. However, there are definitely a few people I follow (one of them following me as well) that I would feel honored to ever meet.

Skip Class October 13th, 2011 2:59 AM

How many of your followers/followees do you personally know in real life?

Just 2 lol, One is a friend from school and we're the only tech noobs who use it constantly. I've started to hear other people using it but ... their are something that should be kept online not offline for them to know.
The other person is Misheard Whisper/ Thomas. We met up about 2 months ago.

ash_pikachu_98 October 13th, 2011 4:31 AM

How many of your followers/followees do you personally know in real life?

20-30 tops, and that's probably because Twitter looked through my email and facebook for people I've been in contact with who are also on Twitter. I use Facebook more-so for people I know in real-life, Twitter predominantly online only, and Google+ as sort of a mishmash of both.

Saryka October 13th, 2011 9:27 AM

Twitter fanclub? I'm so down. @scarizzle here, what's up? :D

Why do you use Twitter?
At first, I kind of just hopped on the bandwagon, but I've kind of become addicted to it. XD; It's also been a great way for me to keep in touch with friends.

What do you tweet about?
Anything. Usually pretty trivial, everyday things, but I tweet about shows, music, and video games (largely Zelda these days, haha) as well. I also have a horrible habit of live-tweeting if I'm playing a video game (again, largely Zelda) or watching a TV show, sooo I'm sorry to my followers for the constant updating.

How many of your followers/followees do you personally know in real life?
Hmmm. Quite a few, actually. I follow a lot of my school friends on Twitter. I couldn't give you an exact number but maybe ten-ish?

Hikamaru November 8th, 2011 5:12 AM

Find me at @Hikari10Girl.

I'm the pic with Oshawott! Can't miss it.

I have no plans to change my name.

There's a direct link in my signature too.
