Yeah I just found that too. It appears she edited since she first wrote the piece. The beginning is different than I remember when Senj linked it a week or so ago.

wazilla and Sarksus are telling me two different things! I am confused and frightened!
In order to fully protect yourself you need to protect your tweets which blocks everyone except people you approve. If you leave your tweets unprotected but you block specific accounts then that account holder can just log out and view your tweets anonymously. As far as I am aware Twitter blocks accounts, not IP addresses.

Okay, that makes sense.
Hrm.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Or you can just not use Twitter.

See, I have a Twitter account. I made it so I could follow the tweets of this local music artist I like a lot.
The first week went like this:
"You are now following Localmusician!"
"Localmusician is following you!"
"Localmusiciansboyfriendwhoisalsoacoolmusician is following you!"
"Yourneedyexgirlfriend is following you!"

You don't need a Twitter account to follow one account. Just keep their page in a browser tab.

"Meh... fuck this. Too much effort."
*X weeks and no Twitter activity later*
'<guy from college> is following you!'

Twitter is just a more compact chat thread. I tweet my thoughts or feelings, I vent about something that just happened and it makes me feel better, I respond to other people and they respond to me. It's good for posting links that would otherwise be missed in a forum thread.

I don't mind, like, Facebook posts, because it's nice knowing when something significant is going on with someone I care about. But "lol I am eating a cake" or whatever the hell people tweet about is not compelling.

I've seen so many people look at twitter for the first time and go. "Meh."
I tell them to download an app like tweetdeck so it's always there. No one ever listens though.
I've been using it for about 3 years now and have somehow got over 100 followers, which amazed me as I always thought I was fucking dull.
But... WHY do you bother?
seriously
i've kept out of the social-networking scene completely because i don't want people to have 24-hour access to my life
They have as much access as you give them, just the same as this thread. If you posted in this thread 24 hours a day you would give people that kind of access, but you don't, and you similarly don't have to use Twitter that often either.

Because it's easier than writing up a long blog post every day, and I can just jot down what I'm thinking or doing quickly without having to divert too much time away from whatever else I'm doing.
I kept a Live Journal blog for a couple of years and it was filled with the most emo stuff as I had little else to talk about most of the time. With twitter I keep my emoness down to a bare minimum.
I am enjoying Darker Than Black. This is a good show so far.
i could never get into it for some reason
though the dub is horrible, i mean just hideous
I kind of wish I could watch it since most anime generally gets assigned to times that I'm doing stuff on the computer. Trying to read subs and type is frustrating.

I would tweet if there was a reason for it...but there's not. Anything of any importance re: whatever, well I'd want to deliver specifically and be sure that it got there rather than blast it out to the ether and hope.
There are some libraries and such that are basically using it as micro-blogging with events reminders, advertising stuff, and other general marketing/PR gimmicks. I can see the utility in that. The fact that I just finished doing laundry, not so much.

Yeah for sure. You can set it up so you get an email notification whenever someone new follows you and you can block them/follow them from there.
Clocks poop too.
They are very regular.
It used to be on her blog but now she blocked public access to it.
but I am addicted to you
whee paranoia time
I didn't feel like sleeping anyways

They just want you to use Twitter so they can stalk you.

Hmm. He's right, they can still see your tweets, but if you block them it wont throw them in their twitter feed thing.
Okay, that makes sense.
Hrm.

Or you can just not use Twitter.
Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.

Where Madness and the Fantasical Come to Play
People are dull and want to connect to more dull people.
I used TweetDeck and got sick of looking at it on my desktop taking up resources. I just use the browser.

Yay!
I haven't watched anime in a long, long time.

No, no, no. "If you run, they chase."
I invented that in '97 man. Nobody ever thought of it ever before. Don't you mess it up.
