Something that twits do.

I refuse to Twitter. I already have too little time as it is reading the forums every waking moment. ;__;

I had lunch about an hour ago - chicken teriyaki. It was pretty good.

Heheheh... I just wondered to myself:

"What would happen if the Devs said they were having a live Q&A on the NGNG TeamSpeak server today..."

"Kapow! I haven't seen anything crash and burn that hard since Paul got his new Atlas Mech..."

Tweet?

Are those barn swallows trying to nest over my hip actuator again? *grabs an extension ladder and a flashlight*

[Mikro]

Why not use the chat room then it be more live ?

[Aegis Kleais]

I'm sorry PGI. I love you guys* and I love MWO, but I JUST CAN'T get myself to signup for Twitter or Facebook. I feel segregated and unappreciated. *goes off to play Solitaire*

You should look into a stream with chat.
Something like TwitchTV/Youtube live/Etc.
Twitter is just so meh and boring. \DansGame/

[soulfire]

They are using twiter to keep the pitchfork and torch crowd at bay. Asbestos underwear is itchy otherwise.

What... no Myspace profiles? Maybe you guys should use 'Chat Roulette' next time...

Seriously, I hope Facebook/Twitter is paying you guys, because in a few years they will be the same as those other two social media devices I listed.

Nobody knows what Geocities and Angelfire are... one day, the same fate will befall Twitter and Facebook.

this is the tweet channel https://twitter.com/.../MechWarriorF2P

[Parnage]

Well I guess with all the people not using twitter, I'll be able to ask many a question. More for me! Bwhahaha.

[Samuel Maxwell]

Exactly what Parnage said (though I'm not prepared to ask any questions).

[Mr T]

Lol, damn.. won't be able to make it... leaving and going on an expedition to Sancturary on the 15th...

Geocities was bought by Yahoo and now powers Yahoo Business. In fact, I'm currently working with a company that has Yahoo Geocities and looks like it was made in 1992.

I'm more surprised that homestead is still in business. But I digress. RSS feeds are the same thing, but are more versatile in a way. Wonder if they'll ever be used.

One can make the same claim about BattleTech/MechWarrior.

Possible. But Geocities and Angelfire were named because they are web-based social applications, like Twitter and Facebook. BattleTech and Mechwarrior are not only akin to video games, but the lore, novels and such that they've generated in the past.
