Ok, here goes one of my very few and far between vanities.
Twitter is a social networking tool that is used by quite a lot of people. Recently the owner of this site posted a story on Twitter being used by the liberals. Twitter is for everyone, it just depends on who uses it. Since it is a simple tool, I feel that it can be utilized for Conservative needs as well. I know of a few FReepers who are on Twitter, including myself.
Twitter can be productive to our movement in any number of ways. Local chapters of FreeRepublic can send out a Tweet (what messages on Twitter are called) and mobilize forces of good far quicker than pinging their lists as not everyone is signed onto their computers every minute of the day. Twitter can send a message to a users phone and since everyone carries their phones with them while out, the message would get out faster.
Another way is that a general FR Twitter ping list could be kept and the list notified on Twitter of breaking news stories on FreeRepublic.
The possibilities are endless as Conservatives are very ingenious, so we could come up with a myriad of ways to use this tool to our benefit.
So I would like to set up a Twitter ping list here on FreeRepublic. If you are on Twitter and would like to make known your user name, just post it here and I will gather the names and with your permission, add you to my list of people on Twitter. And you can add each other as needed.
If this is a horrible suggestion, just say so, I'm not thinned skinned...lol.
“I am willing to try anything to get conservatives to ban together...it’s beyond time we do something.”
That’s why I’m trying this idea. I’m going to put the names that appear on this thread together and develop some sort of Twitter ping list. I know a lot of us are spread out but we have to start somewhere. The liberals have a head start on us but we are more intelligent and hard working than they are, hence most of them are getting bailed out by OUR dollars.
Don’t you worry about the leftists who run it turning your contact list over to Obama’s secret police...errr...internal security force?
same name here and there “buschbaby”. I follow several Repubs in DC, they will send some good stuff occasionally. McCain (I’m not a fan of his) is on and his posts are actually very good.
“Don’t you worry about the leftists who run it turning your contact list over to Obama’s secret police...errr...internal security force?”
No more worried than someone getting my information off of FreeRepublic and doing the same.

I would be interested in being included, but I use my given name on Twitter for professional reasons, and don’t think it’s a very good idea to post it here.
FReepmail follows
That is just fine with me. I will only make it available, with your permission, to the others who have put their names on the list.
yes, that would be fine, thanks.
And do I glean the names listed here to follow, or are you going to send a blast to everyone?
I’m going to get the names together and send out a Tweet, and as newer names are added, will send those out as well.

Implying that conservatives are simple?
Stupid, maybe?
A bit on the impaired side?
How nice of you.
Who put the burr up your backside? I’m a freaking Conservative. No need to be uptight about anything. If you read that and assumed (bad thing to do by the way) that I’m insulting anyone, then you need reading comprehension.

Gee, I think I heard the same thing from a professor about OS/2.
It was nice too, but now is gone.
Bump-a-roony
Bump again

Graphics? Disappointed? Dropped?
We’re good.
