  • Ah, man, it expires?

  • Yes, midnight tonight. No waiting for next month's deals...
  • Ah well. Used it to drop the Modern Lovers s/t to $4.99. That's not bad.

  • Okay, I've got a Twitter question...

    So I notice on my site that people have been tweeting my posts. For instance, on the current post, there's a (2) on the Twitter button, which tells me it's been tweeted twice. One, I know, is from me; I tweet a tweet out (this is ridiculous) every time I make a site post. However, who the hell is that other one and how do I find out?

    My site stats don't tell me who it is. When I search on Twitter for keywords like Post Title and Site Name, etc, nothing comes up. Is there no way to figure out who is tweeting from my site and trying to track who enjoys the post enough to tweet it out?
  • Jonah, I've encountered the situation before, when they say you have more RTs than you actually have. You click on that "2," but all you see is the original RT. Poss spam RTs that got deleted?? Dunno

    I am following you. Being RT'd by Robert Glasper makes you about the most famous person I know.
  • Jonah, also just followed you.
  • I really must get into twitter, I'm avoiding Facebook, but I don't have the same objections to twitter, so later today I'll sign up. Watch this space!!!
  • OK - I've signed up as GregLewis20, using my MIG name - just so that my students can't find me. So far I am following a couple of footballers and emusic. Any suggestions, please?
  • Oh, yes.

    I've nearly cried from laughing a few times.
  • Thanks Jonah. Dare I ask how I follow you for example? (See GP above)
  • Of course, I should have worked that out, and I dare!
  • I am following @GregLewis20. Keep it clean.

    Following also. Thanks for the follow, Jonah, I'm seriously short of followers :-)
  • Well, my quantitative effect on your Followers list will significantly outweigh any qualitative one I might bring to the table.
  • I'll see if I can follow you GP - I'm totally new to it, so it may take me time.... an age thing!!
  • Okay, how exactly do I retweet and add my own comments to it? Apparently I'm the only person in Twitterville who can't figure this out.
  • You are not Jonah!!

    @GP

    Awesome, thanks!

    @Greg

    Think of me more as Jonah+.
  • Sometimes you will see "MT" for modified tweet. I do this occasionally, esp when significantly shortening the original tweet.
  • I think I missed out a comma there Jonah. It was meant to read You are not, Jonah.... I can now see an alternative meaning as it stands!
  • @GP

    Something's up with your Twitter settings. It won't let me follow you (which may be purposeful and beneficial to your sanity), and it also won't let me retweet your post on the Trains MiG article. There's a little padlock symbol next to your post.
  • <GP's> Tweets are protected.
    Only confirmed followers have access to <GP's> Tweets and complete profile. You need to send a request before you can start following this account.

    It doesn't say whether the request has to be in German
  • @jonahpwll, I was only dimly aware that I had settings. I'll take a look.
  • It doesn't say whether the request has to be in German

    Oh god, that's a good point. Does this mean GP is gonna start returning our tweets with edit demands?
  • edited January 2012
    OK, I have unprotected my tweets (what a phrase, sounds physically dangerous). Retweet away. No German necessary. Alles klar.
  • Oh, and whoever follows me next gets to be the lucky tenth follower rocketing me into double figures. (And some of the other nine are even people rather than small record labels trying to get me to follow them). Heady stuff this twitter thing. I can feel my sphere of influence expanding. Or maybe that's just gas.
  • Yes I got the same response GP - I might manage french but not German!
  • Being RT'd by Robert Glasper makes you about the most famous person I know.

    Thank you. However, I regret not going with my second choice of "You so stupid, you went to a dentist to get your bluetooth fixed."

    Also, I fear that Ben Allison might not like me anymore.
