BTW if you are undecided about twitter, the day you start following "shitmydadsays" is the day twitter becomes awesome.

I'd definitely watch a sitcom based on the JIMGA family. But only if somehow Reggie Ball was his next door neighbor.

For you, it's pretty easy: 1. Tap your network (like someone said) 2. Post a link to your twitter account on your web site. 3. Figure out whether it's going to be an engagement tool for your brand or just a vehicle for you to connect with audiences and grow the game's reach. Or both. And then begin to develop trust with those audiences, by using the tool and not trying to sell them something. 4. Tap your network. It's not an overnight thing, even when you have a site like this backing you. (But it doesn't hurt.) You'll need to go into it with a strategy and like most strategies, grow with it as your needs adapt/change/fail, etc. |

I think it was a joke, one that I thought was very funny.

I think you missed the true #1.... which of course would be - have a desire to provide updates for people.
It was such a good line, I'm sorry for Jim that people missed the joke. Quote:

Do they still make Gap commercials for TV or is this rant pulled from the 2001 archives?

Yes. Twitter is at least 95% garbage, but the other 5% makes it totally worth it. It's all about who you follow. If you limit yourself to small groups of people -- for me, the above guy, TheBloggess, some of the old writers from Mystery Science Theater, a few other truly funny people, along with a group of local and national news outlets -- it's an entertaining and very informative experience. And I usually HATE trendy internet stuff and sound exactly like the OP on most similar topics. |

Never seen it. DVR + Red Zone Channel + Internet + Mute button = H_B not being aware of like 95% of the commercials out there. I AM TEH WINNAR!1!

Sounds like a lot more effort expended than the "victory" is worth but to each their own I guess. I'd rather just take a leak or refill my coffee (no, not at the same time) while the spots run than go through all the button pushing.

Not really. Each option takes less effort than getting off the couch: I have a 30 second skip function on my DVR, so that's easy enough. By "internet", I mean I surf the internet while watching a game. The laptop is on my lap and I just "tune out" the TV during commercials. Red Zone Channel is just a simply touch on the "swap" button between DVR tuners. I never feel bead if I miss a play or two of the Lions' game. Mute button is reserved for the odd occassion Lady H_B is in the room while the game is on. Again, easy enough.

What did you do, have a catheter installed? At least the internet part I can relate to, I really don't remember the last time I watched more than 10 minutes of TV without being online simultaneously.

No catheter, but given how many commercial breaks there are in an average college or pro football game, my bladder isn't the size of an infant's either. There are only so many "potty" breaks one can take over the course of 3 - 3.5 hours, no? Then again, with how you down the coffee, that might not be as much of an issue.

It's what I do for a living. So the joke wasn't lost on me, it was just late and I was scribbling a blog post based on your original rant and Jim's post helped me flesh out some things. I know him and Twitter would be like baby seals and oil spills. Last edited by Young Drachma : 11-20-2009 at 01:28 PM. |

I bet you were focused on the Twitter part and not the important part: that asshole Will Carroll. I have a DVR and a laptop too. I also go out in public and don't have the remote control for every TV I sit near in a bar or restaurant. I also don't pay attention to the TV much of the time when I work at home and it's on... but it's the FUCKING SONG that is the worst part. It's like Matt Millen went into jingles after leaving the Lions. |

Figure one potty break an hour + 1 to 3 coffee refills an hour depending upon the time of day + I'm usually only half watching anyway = commercials aren't much of an issue for me

3/10. Using the word fuck a lot does not make a rant better. Also, shitting on Facebook and Twitter has been done to death.

Couldn't you have bumped a more entertaining thread than this one? This one makes my scrotum sad.
