In which i give unasked for advice
I should be working out but I’m not. I mean I’ve gained a ton of weight but I’m kind of thinking “what’s a few pounds more, right?” so I’ve decided to write a post instead. After all, I’m a terrific typist and can type over 100 wpm so I’m burning some calories that way, right?
So I was talking to some people on Twitter today if having a conversation on Twitter could be actually considered talking and I’m going to comment on some of those convos.
First, I think I should possibly keep my mouth shut; probably in general but specifically regarding Twitter. I saw a tweet this morning from Darren Rowse (@ProBlogger) about having a bunch of spammers and of course, me being me, I had to send him some advice. Here’s his tweet:
And here’s mine:
He replied:
He referred to Chris Brogan (@ChrisBrogan) who also responded. I didn’t know who he was either. I realized after giving them advice that these guys had 87,000 and 191,191 followers respectively and who the hell was I to be giving them advice? Then I realized that it was typical that I would a) put my foot in my mouth and b) ignore common sense anyways.
True, True Chris! At any rate, I suppose one of the things I like about Twitter is that it’s a great equalizer. If people want to talk to you they’re just people. I like to Tweet anyone I feel like it. Now normally, the big “Tweeters” don’t respond but occasionally they do but I suppose that I’m sort of a stalker in that I just Tweet who I want.
I, of course, knew who ProBlogger was (having once googled him) but had no idea who Chris Brogan is. I do now because I checked him out and feel that he’s extremely lucky to have had an interaction with me. Also, I’m pleased that I screwed up his numbers because he had 191,191 following him and I made it 191,192 which isn’t quite as awesome. However, thought I should acknowledge that he had a few more followers than I did so I sent this to him:
and he replied with:
and I realized that:
I fucking love Twitter!
On another note, can I tell y’all something? Speaking of y’all (and this isn’t the something I wanted to tell you), Tricia Helfer (of Battlestar Galactica) is now ALWAYS spelling y’all properly. I corrected her on THIS POST but see below. Man I’m good.
At any rate, here’s what I wanted to tell you. I spend most of my time on my iPad. I mean, I have a computer where I write up posts and type and shit and play games but mostly I’m on my iPad and you know what I hate? I FUCKING HATE those stupid formats that are “just for iPad!”
You know, the ones where you SWIPE it to get where you’re going? I hate them. Stop using them. They’re fucking annoying. That’s my opinion and very frankly on this blog, it’s the only one you’re going to get. I know there’s an option on WordPress that asks if you want to have a special format for iPad so for future reference, please say NO! I did.
If you like it then keep it but I hate those sites and rarely go there as a result. Its’ possible others don’t feel this way. I don’t know them and I don’t care and even if I do know them I don’t care.
Now, where was I?
Oh yeah, I was nowhere. I certainly have more than my fair share of rambling posts. Well, in summation. Talk to whom you want. Say what you want. Do what you want. And … and… don’t use those swipe thingies.
I’m just saying …

I totally agree about the iPad formats. They suck. I got so fed up with NOT being able to type on the iPad, that I gave it to my husband (thus encouraging his RISK habit) and bought a MacBook Air instead. Call me old fashioned, I still love a keyboard.

Yeah, typing on an iPad is a pain but i really love it. Those MacBook Airs are pretty cool too though…
Oh, you have got some GREAT stories.
Only you, Lynn..no one else.
I just put my foot in my mouth more than normal
‘because you don’t get 200 at a time’… I can’t help but think of the word humblebrag again, Lynn.
I don’t think that was bragging,,,
Let me know why explaining how many spams I receive is a brag. : )
Interesting post. And give me advice whenever you like.
Oh, I didn’t think you were bragging at all! I was like Holy Shit, who is this guy? I totally enjoyed your answer you gave me!! I am always full of unsolicited advice…probsb full of shit too!
Have a great weekend Chris!
I love that he twitted you and blog replied as well, my goodness, you’re infamous now, lol
I wouldn’t say that exactly! There are people I’ve tried to get to answer me to no avail!!!
Yeah I’m making it my mission to get the big guys to respond ;) Hey do you dig the iPad? Was thinking of getting one but wondering if i’ll use it for my blog of if the laptop is easier?
i don’t really use it for the blog. it’s a pain in the ass for that. I just use it for the internet and to read and stuff
I love how they responded to you – and your witty responses back to them. I keep tweeting my favorite rocker from Our Lady Peace, Raine Maida when I see a tweet of his coming through. He hasn’t responded yet. Someday . . .
I keep tweeting Katee Sackhoff and she never responds to me. Depends on whom the person is,
