Dear @nbcsnl I stole somebody's snack today. Don't tell him. #heshungry
Twitter is actually very similar to FR, comments posted in reply or retweeted (repeated). Differences, user names all start with @ that’s their way of signaling an account.
Another major difference is you can follow who you want meaning you can limit the comments you see to people you care about. Not a problem on FR but lots of message boards full of trolls.
Biggest difference, you have to say whatever you have to say in 140 characters including address (example: @realdonaldtrump already cost you 16 chars). That spawns abbreviations like u r etc.
I know you didn’t ask for a tutorial, my original point is, Twitter much like FR.
Visa clarifications on impact of new Exec Order from senior Administration officials:
Rush Limbaugh: No one can refute Trump's charge that Obama is behind wiretapping.

Interesting info re Twitter, Kenny.
I don’t post on Twitter, just use it to follow conservative politics: Donald J. Trump (& his family), several Cabinet members, Bill Mitchell, Sarah Palin, Michael Delauzon, and our fellow FReeper Kristinn Taylor (@KristinnFR) to name a few.

“The election and subsequent brew-haha has ruined my sleep pattern”
I hadn’t thought about that, but I think you are on to something as that may have been when my sleep pattern changed.

Thought you and others would be interested in this, if you haven’t seen it:
Trump administration deals a big setback to Caltrain (Trump puts the brake on Bullet Train)
“In the first big hit to the Bay Area from the Trump administration, newly minted Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has put the brakes on $647 million for Caltrain to go electric and in the process pretty much killed for high-speed rail coming to San Francisco anytime soon.
It puts the (electrification) project in serious jeopardy, Caltrain spokesman Seamus Murphy said Friday.”
snip
” In a Jan. 24 letter to Chao, all 14 Republicans in the states congressional delegation called for the Caltrain money to be put on hold until a full audit is done on high-speed rail. On Friday, Chao obliged the Federal Transit Administration, which she oversees, said a decision on the $647 million federal grant needed to keep the project going would be delayed.”
