Twitter Directory

[David Russell]

I know it’s slightly off-topic, but I’d love to keep up with more Dwarfers. Are any of you on Twitter? I think it would be great to have a directory of Twitter accounts if others here use it.

If you’d like to follow me, I’m at https://twitter.com/davidrussell

[Tanya Jones]

I’ve added you David! https://twitter.com/bohaynowell

[Tonguetied]

Added you.

[Tyrell Corporation]

What’s Twitter?

[peas_and_corn]

If livejournal is about knowing what a person is doing in their life, twitter is knowing what they had for breakfast. Three minutes ago.

[Tyrell Corporation]

How cumbersome and mundane.

[Seb Patrick]

>How cumbersome and mundane.

Except : not.

[Jonathan Capps]

Nah, I’m not a fan of Twitter at all. What’s wrong with a Facebook status update?

[Seb Patrick]

>What?s wrong with a Facebook status update?

You can’t update by text.
You can’t read other people’s updates by text.
You can’t syndicate your Facebook status to your blog.
Facebook’s summary page doesn’t actually include *everyone’s* updates, just a random selection, so it’s less well-suited to microblogging.

Both have their uses, they’re not really trying to do the same thing. Twitter is really sort of halfway between a Facebook entry and a blog post.

http://www.twitter.com/sebpatrick , by the way.

[Andrew]

I prefer to not.

[Ian Symes]

You can?t update [your Facebook status] by text.

Yes you can.

[James]

And reply to personal mails by txt. I do agree though, that these sites can get a little too invasive at times.

[Seb Patrick]

Yes you can.

Only if you want to give a third-party app access to your account details, from the looks of it. Unless I’m wrong (or unless they’re doing a really bad job of publicising it), there’s no official way for UK users to update by SMS.

[Dave]

Facebook claims too much of my time as it is.

[hummingbird]

Livejournal claims my life right now, so you can find me on there if you like.

[Phil]

>You can?t syndicate your Facebook status to your blog.

Not to be contrary, but if this is something you’re interested in, I’m pretty sure I saw that Ben Paddon had managed to syndicate his Facebook status. No idea how easy it is to do, but it’s at least possible if that’s something you’d want to make use of.

[Tyrell Corporation]

Why would anyone want to know about anybody elses lives in such detail?

[James]

You can recive all Facebook updates only on O2 in the UK. The other mobile networks don’t seem to be bothered.

I just started using it.

Will add the rest of you later on. Why am I so surprised to discover that Tyrell Corporation was posting last August? Were you under a different name then?

That’s me, that is.

[Mr Flibble]

I work with someone who has the same name as you, Si.

[si]

I’m led to believe that ‘Simon’ is quite a popular name.

[Pete Part Three]

There’s a guy on TV called Mr Flibble, I think.

[Dave]

>I?m led to believe that ?Simon? is quite a popular name.

On the contrary, there are only twelve of you.

Go forth and find the other eleven.

[Danny Stephenson]

Find one for every card in the deck. Including the Jokers.

[ChrisM]

>I?m led to believe that ?Simon? is quite a popular name.

Indeed. I was almost Simon. (That sounds weird. You can tell the kind of programmes I watch as a freaky possession scenario just popped into my head…)

[Mr Flibble]

I meant he had the same surname as you too. Obviously.

[si]

Any one of these…

http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLJ_enGB296GB296&q=simon+bromley

(I’m the Simon Bromley at the top of page three of these search results, if you’re interested, not the one on page one who slashed a doorman.)

[Danny Stephenson]

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=daniel+Stephenson&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

I’m freaked out that i’m the SECOND result when you search for “Daniel Stephenson”

[si]

That’s shocking.

[Mr Flibble]

Apart from some people with the surname Kirk who work at one of the US largest military aircraft contractors, I’m the only me I can find on the internet.

*Is getting ready for a new barrage of being called “Captain Kirk” when Star Trek comes out.*

[Danny Stephenson]

That?s shocking.

You know what’s freaked me out more? the fact that out of 1,970,000. I’m not far from the top.

WHY ME?!!

[Ian Symes]

I’d say you were the *second* best Daniel Stephenson.

[Jo]

I’m the 7th result when you search for Joanna Sharples. :o(
BUT I’m the 1st result (as well as 3rd, 6th & 9th) when you search for Jo Sharples. :oD WIN!

[Phil]

I don’t do too well in the search results, but some fan has decided to archive his favorite quotations of mine.

http://thinkexist.com/quotes/philip_reed/

[Jo]

Aw wasn’t that nice! You do witter on about cars a lot don’t you?

[Ian Symes]

I don?t do too well in the search results, but some fan has decided to archive his favorite quotations of mine.

Were they all nominated for Phil Reed Hall Of Fame status?

I take up the entire first page of results for Ian Symes. Thus I win.

[hummingbird]

> BUT I?m the 1st result (as well as 3rd, 6th & 9th) when you search for Jo Sharples. :oD WIN!

And that’s a good thing? Has someone removed your paranoia chip?

[Ben Paddon]

I’m all over the place if you Google my name…

[Jo]

>And that?s a good thing? Has someone removed your paranoia chip?

Clearly they gave it to you, what’s the problem??

Besides the fact that they ask for way too many personal details and refuse to delete them if you leave?

[ChrisM]

I’m third under my name! (Chris Mardle.) It was a fairly recent post in retaliation to that ‘The Stage TV Today’ article that was reported some while back.
http://blogs.thestage.co.uk/mt/mt-search.cgi?blog_id=3&tag=Chris%20Barrie&limit=20&IncludeBlogs=3

The next is me on facebook (which I don’t use all that often) the next me on a 2000 AD forum promoting Red Dwarf specials…
I got mixed responses for that one. Some liked. Some were, “I liked it a the time but, it had it’s day.” One bloke likened it to the return of smallpox. That last one still niggles. His arrogant attitude not the smallpox.

Oh, the first two involves someone of my namesake who is a Wimbledon Player apparently. Link doesn’t come up with much though.

[JamesTC]

New Dwarf has been met with negativity? On IMDB I have has new Dwarf as my signature since it was announced and it is always met with suprise then bliss, I love spreading the word.

[Seb Patrick]

The existence of this fellow troubles me grately : http://www.facebook.com/people/Sebastian-Patrick/5216501

There’s not much of me under a search for “Sebastian Patrick”, but that’s because I almost exclusively use “Seb”. All my published writing is as “Seb”, so that’s basically become my official public name. Although stupidly, I’ve put “Sebastian” on the script extracts that are on my website. I should change those versions.

But yeah, google search Seb Patrick and the only thing that interferes with stuff about ME is a Myspace band whose members are called… Seb and Patrick.

[Seb Patrick]

GRATELY? FUCK OFF!
