Daily randomness of Miss Lunatic

  • 00:10 @afuna I need to re-read the Arrows trilogy. My teenage years too! #
  • 00:14 @afuna Of course Vanyel. Diana Tregarde? #
  • 00:17 @afuna Three. Burning Water and Jinx High. (I need another copy of Jinx High; mine got lost on a bus.) #
  • 00:19 @afuna In several different flavours, with bonus crackpot flute-Bard. Her later Valdemar stuff has completely lost me, though. #
  • 00:22 @afuna I had a crush on his whole triad! #
  • 00:23 @afuna Having re-read some stuff more recently, probably both. I think the joy really went out of it for her after a while. #
  • 00:23 @afuna Eric, Kory, and Beth. #
  • 00:24 @afuna Her fairytale retelling is good and still has life. Maybe she's not locked into a series there? #
  • 00:26 @afuna I blame Tannim for hooking me on TMBG. 100%. (And Tannim crossed over with Diana in Jinx High, as a cameo.) #
  • 00:28 @afuna Jinx High was the one with the psychotic prom queen who was manipulating dark forces to be powerful and gorgeous. D/k salamander. :/ #
  • 00:30 @afuna Robin McKinley is looooooove. Patricia McKillip has some good stuff too. And if you haven't met Diane Duane yet, omg. <3 #
  • 00:33 @afuna YES OMG YES HAHAHAHA I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT PART OMG HAHAHA. #
  • 00:36 @afuna "REAL" MOUTH LOLOLOLOL ... (yes) #
  • 00:38 @gameboyguy13 We must corrupt you with this book we are speaking of. :D #
  • 00:45 @gameboyguy13 Jinx High, by Mercedes Lackey. Her Magic's ___ series is all right but depressing. #
  • 00:57 @afuna I would not say known for. She has some sweet scenes but she's known for the magic/fantasy. #
  • 17:16 I think I might be awake. In any case there is clean laundry. #

How does this Twitter thingy work?

I thought it was a kind of mini-blog, where you submit status updates from your mobile phone - but you seemed to have been carrying on a conversation?

Do the messages get sent straight to another person's mobile phone? Or do you have to subscribe to them? Or do you just check twitter.com compulsively every five minutes?

You can receive and send twitter messages from a mobile phone, from your computer using software, or from the web site.

The convention is that if you're replying to someone else's message, you start it with '@' and then their username - since everyone was doing this anyway, they've added in some support for this, such as sending you any message that's '@' you, even if you don't 'follow' that person on Twitter.

Where LJ has 'friends' and 'friends of', Twitter has 'follows' and 'followers'. If you follow someone, you'll get their twitter updates on your homepage on twitter, and if you want, send to your phone as text messages.

Twitter also supports 'direct' messages, which are much like the private messages offered by LJ and most message boards.
