What's Your Twitter Username?

Seems like we could use an ILM Twitter database.

xcept I've never actually tweeted, ever. I follow David Lynch, Jewel Staite, and some other dudes I can't remember.

but yeah u should send a mod request to change this to ILE or wherever else you'd like

geirhong. Hardly ever using it.

Facebook pretty much overrides it. I'm still trying to figure out the appeal to those who have both.

It would be amazing if iTunes could post playlists automatically to Twitter.

http://www.last.fm

Yeah -- I had LastFM scrobbling and everything but couldn't figure out how to get it to do that.

Scrobbler to twitter? haha doesn't happen. I thought you were aiming just to publicize your playlists/what you were listening to.

Scrobbler to twitter? haha doesn't happen.

It almost doesn't make sense that LastFM wouldn't have a Twitter feature that, at a bare minimum, posts a link to your Recently Played music page.

I guess? Twitter is more about what activity you're doing, not what media you're consuming. I mean you could always say you're reading this or listening to that but I don't think the devs ever though it necessitated original software in order to do so.

Also, esp. here, people listen to music so incessantly that it could only be wholly annoying to have some friend who alerted you every time he decided to listen to that new Kanye album or whatever. btw there's a twitter thread in ILE.

@sickmouthy, unsurprisingly.

@lexpretend, same on last.fm

if would be the worst thing if iTunes could post playlists automatically to Twitter.

it's bad enough getting ppl's end-of-week last.fm charts and foursquare logins.

@DavidM2000AD

I don't mind the weekly last.fm tweets at all, but, yeah, constant playlist updates would be a bit much.

I am @NYC__Native but I rarely use the thing... I mainly have it to accept Tweets about the Giants (I Love the NFL)

eyy i just followed a bunch of you. look out.

i'm kinda into keeping my ilx and twitter deals separated tho, so shhh

users of twitter: how much do you argue, on twitter? is it worth it? either personally, or in some larger sense.

i'm tempted to ahem engage w/ people all the time but generally keep the urge suppressed. do you?

It's about as worth it as it is to argue on ilx. So not worth it at all.

ilx arguments are tax-deductible though

I don't use Twitter myself but my partner has an account from which she mostly posts about autism and occasionally tweets music videos. She was buzzing the other day because Gangsta Boo retweeted one of hers!

Does anyone here find Twitter useful beyond marketing and following some comedians? I'm not trolling, really wondering about its uses.

I dont follow any comedians, depends what you mean by marketing, i follow thing like the local public transport company, markets and local shops, and a lot of tech/dev related stuff, and for new mixes, though all that could count as marketing. I follow certain people who talk about the above things, which gives me more of a sense of context about which i might take a bit more of a look at. I think some of this works unconsciously/incrementally - i might see something new come out but not look at it, but it might crop up again from non-connected people and I check it out then instead of the first time

I dont get into twitter conversations or arguments, but i find it very useful

The girl next door works in a school, and when they had a snow day, the school announced it via twitter, which of course makes perfect sense but somehow i was still a bit suprrised

lots of music related tweets

Useful related music tweets? Like tour info or new releases?

Yes...details and photos from people who have gone to concerts I was interested in; critics listing fave music or linking to music; live-blogging of awards shows; twitter battles

Ordered from least to most entertaining.

I only use it to follow musicians that I like.

I hope you've turned off their retweets.

I like learning what quotidian stuff is troubling my friends, or pleasing them, or what friends are thinking in general. This falls under entertainment, but it's also indirectly useful or at least illuminating. I like getting friends' opinions offered in a space the size of which excludes blowhards. I don't follow musicians unless they tweet about non-music-related matters; otherwise I just don't care enough. I would probably follow Peggy Lee if she were still alive..

It's good to follow local bars to learn about drink specials or when open mic nights are (to avoid them).

Alright, well, if you're into my music minutia, I'm @GeraldMcBB

Welcome! (I didn't realize you were BRAND new to it!)

I'd say 99% of the people I follow are musicians/labels in order to keep up with new releases and that kind of stuff. The rest is non-music news outlets for the most part.

It's good for planning and following political organizing. I've gotten tips on good web articles from it.

I follow:

-bars
-people who tweet about:
--beer
--running
--transit issues
--science/tech stuff
--local news and politics

Primarily an information source, but a lot of conversation back and forth too, especially with local people that I've met on there. It's really my ideal social network. So they'll probably change it and ruin it soon.

Yeah, I like the back-and-forths with people I've met irl but am unlikely to see very often, or with low-level celebrities who respond to my replies. It's often rewarding to follow brainy types like authors, philosophers, pop science personalities

You will learn pretty fast that the two types of tweeters are those who tweet about the outside world and those who tweet 100% about themselves

I'm likely to tweet about music I'm listening to or am into, or audio gear I got. No one needs to read about my dinner, kids activities or my liberal politics.

Don't tweet about your pets, is what I would recommend

Who's that random techbro following you on Twitter? why it's @lukasb

blocked by one ilxor immediately after following (no hard feelings - my first block! haha)
