Twitter Possibly Overpowered By Newborns; Temporarily Disabled...

OK so making this Twilight-related is a total stretch but I found this today and I was CRACKING UP sooooo...

I should also take this opportunity to 'fess up to the fact that I am the lamest Twitter user [Tweeter? Tweetee? Twit-Twat?] on the planet (sorry, people following me!!) and I barely know how to use the effing thing... Yes, I know you just type something clever and "What are you doing?"-related and hit "send," but it is CLEARLY so much more than that and I am - as usual - clueless! Who wants to host the very first online Twi-Twitter-101 for me and any other bloggy friend willing to own up to their lack of technical chops?? Anyone? Anyone??? Because if you teach me to use it, I will #FF [every single day and pound whatever you tell me to] 'til you beg for mercy. Really. But you have to teach me what "Friend [Note from JJ: Psssst. I think it's 'follow' Friday...] Friday" means first, ok? [response from STY - I am TOTALLY embarrassed but I will leave it in so that people can understand the depth of my lack of Twitter-ness...sigh...]

Anyhoo, I am sorry. And I hope you find this as amusing as I did...

  1. If you go to mashable.com they have some really good twitter how-to's. It's all at the top bar on the page. And you can check out my twitter melt-down on my blog from yesterday...truly shameful.

  3. @Fire-Crotch - thanks for the link because I'm not much better off than STY. Frankly, I amazed we haven't accidentally deleted this entire blog yet.

    @Shiny Volvo Owner - It's taunting you. You know some people can use it but not YOU.

    At least that's how I felt all day. I wasn't able to get into blogger or Twitter. Sucked.

  8. @JJ I haven't been able to get onto it for the past... 6 hours? Luckily I get updates to my phone and can text my updates XD
    I've been re-reading Latchkey Wife and your blogs over and over and LOVING it :P
    Ooh, and Follow Friday is basically where you suggest friends you think other people may like...

  10. I may be a bigger Tweetard than STY... I can't figure that fucking thing out to save my life!! Every time I think I get it, something happens and I realize I'm just a fucking moron!

  11. Ha well I was pretty much ready to type the same comment as Latchkey but she beat me to it. (great blog by the way-I checked it out for the first time. )

    so all I have to say is, "What she said!"

  12. In the words of @Limey--I still don't understand that "crazy birdshit thing". Ummm, JJ I just send you a direct message asking for help so where does that leave me?

  13. Thankfully Twitter is working again, and blogger.

    What about twitter do you wish you knew?

    Earlier I put up a new blog (really long with lots of coding), it said it went up, but, when I tried to go see it, it said that my computer was being suspicious and google was blocking me from access. Then I couldn't see ANYBODY's blog and I nearly cried!!! Both because I thought I lost that tricky blog, and partly because I was worried google was kicking me out of blogger, and how in the hell could I get my daily giggle/guffaw on then?!?

  14. Until two months ago I didn't really understand what a blog was. It will be at least two years until I can wrap my brain around twitter. By then there will be something new for me not to undertand.

  15. Ashton and John Mayer were probably in tears, the puds.

  16. Ok, @STY and @JJ, I'm a big twitter and facebook user because I do it for work. I'll try to follow you guys under my work twitter and retweet to you guys any helpful tips and @Fire Crotch is right, Mashable.com is really the best source for social media information.
    BTW, if you're still having problems with twitter it maybe because your firefox is not working properly w/twitter and twitter knows about it and is working on it. I can twitter just fine from my Mac. (Ok, shit! Now that I got all techy on you!) Have a good weekend!!

  17. Yah, I'm in the same boat as @Latchkey Wife and @VitaminR what is really sad is that I'm a computer geek by profession, but twitter with all its funky shit going on is beyond me...

    Ewww verification word is crund WTF?

  18. It took me a while to catch on to twitter. I couldn't figure out for the life of me what FF was... follow friday. or RT.. re-tweet. or all that # pounding nonsense. But my co-worker sorted most of it out for me. I still don't have a twit pic account, but I do have uber twitter on my phone.

    there's only a few things you really need to know about twitter. blipfm... it lets you post songs to your twitter account for others to listen too :) and twitter.com/fakerpattz - one of the reasons I joined twitter... whoever they are they crack me up. He whines to their agent/manager, always wants to be around faketomstu (his true love) and complains about how Mr. Winky is always hiding, especially from the twifans.

    exhibit a (when gossip sites were saying rob was getting ready to shoot a sex scene in remember me) "Reading fanfic getting ready for the big sex scene. Mr Winky is nervous. Don't judge me."

    "Oh god. I need a fluffer. I'm too nervous. Come on Mr Winky don't fail me now!"

    LOL!

  19. (wish I could go back and edit comments!) right now twitter hates me though, before I couldn't post links or long messages... they had to be around 50 characters for a message to go through... I've tried on several different internet connections, right now I can't even log in. so f- you twitter.

  20. Thanks for all the tips, everyone!!!

    And there's a sex scene in Remember Me?! Sheesh - wish that it had been filmed on the streets of NYC - or the beach! - like the others, lol! But maybe now we'll have a sexier Robward moment than "the tuck" (eep...).

    I'll definitely check out your recommendations! And will go sign up to follow fakerpattz, too.

    : )

  21. Your not the only one who doesn't know how to use that thing! LKW sent me a PM but because she doesn't follow me personally I can't reply to her?!?!?! It's like the ultimate WTF! She probably thinks I'm ignoring her :/
