Twitter and D&D - How I came to love this combo

[Scribble]

Started using tweetdeck after reading through this post (before I'd just been usig a small reader on my desktop...)

Have to say I like tweetdeck so far... If it would only let me make a column for an RSS feed... that would be AWESOME.

I just installed Tweetdeck. How do I add the extra columns? I'd like to add one for the #dnd tag and Facebook like you have (I've already given it my Facebook details).

 

[Morrus]

Figured out the tags. The facebook details won't stick though. I enter them and then they disappear.

During the process it asks me two sharing questions - allow TD access to my FB feed (I said yes) and allow FB access to my Twitter feed (I said no, as I don't use FB for EN World stuff, and I don't use Twitter for personal stuff - and vice versa).

You could set up two tweetdeck accounts, one for personal and one for gaming.

I'll be honest that I was a little skeptical about Twitter applications but once I started using TweetDeck after reading this thread and it has changed the way I'm using Twitter now.

I really like the function of monitoring more than one account at the same time.

Thanks for pushing me to take the leap.

That's just what old folks think. It's my impression that Facebook idealistically empowers individuals to create a personal virtual location with an interactive web presence for everyone to experience. Similarly, I believe that Twitter is a selective listening device that allows others to pick the brains of those willing to share their thoughts while simulataneously giving a continuous virtual soapbox to anyone who can garner a following.

Sure. I was just trying to draw a bit of contrast. And guilty as charged, unfortunately. . . .

Tweetdeck's ability to rationalize your Twitter feed is almost as important, to my experience anyway, as the entire Twitter concept. By sorting your feed into discreet conversations, it turns a mass of white noise into useful, followable threads. I can't recommend enough, especially to anyone who's tried Twitter and found it to incoherent to stick with.

I'll see your "largely about connecting to people from your past" and raise you a "checking the obits for older cousins."

I think I've figured it out. Twitter is a global chat room.

Yeah... it reminds me of an IRC client but if you had all the servers and all the channels open at the same time.
