I've already added many of you, especially victims of my sporadic chat banter.

Hey, I just added everyone in this topic that I wasn't already following and had updated in the last week.  I'm absurdemest.

[TL]

No pressure (unlike SOME people in who's honor this entire message board has been created and is run), but I try to stay pretty active on Twitter, and you can find me at @tedleo if you're interested.
I also have recently gained an impostor, who is often pretty funny, and so far not mean, so if you're interested and aren't already following this person, I'd encourage you to check out @teddleo, as well.
Tom misspelled my name in one missive of our Twitter war, and it apparently spontaneously generated into a whole new sentient Twitter account of it's own.
The future is upon us.

you should set your twitter up to also update your status on facebook.

Eventually I will, but first I think I need to re-tool my Facebook into more of a "professional" thing.  I've always tried to keep it personal, but I kinda can't do it anymore - I had to leave Myspace because of a really weird experience with a stalker, and while I enjoyed Facebook for a while, it just became too much - too much pressure.  I can only really use it casually, and not everybody seems to understand that.  It's part of why I like Twitter - it's there as a simple way to connect (or just vent), and there's always e-mail if there needs to be a bigger conversation.  Maybe I should add a forum to my web site.  Anybody have opinions on that?

it's funny, I've had the exact opposite experience with facebook/twitter, but I honestly had to take a month long break from both recently.

I say add that forum, TL!  My guess is that you'd attract the right crowd.

(Also, you probably shouldn't let Tom join until he Twitter surrenders.  Give no quarter!)

Personally, I'm following @teddleo for the profile image alone.

People say there's no wrong way to use twitter but if there's a right way it's the @tedleo way.  Actually I've yet to run into an FOT on Twitter who hasn't been great.  I follow a whole bunch of you including the real and impostor Ted Leo and will eventually add everyone else.  You don't need to follow me back but if you feel like it I'm at @betheboy.  My wife who, is a silent FOT is @slackmistress in addition my pitbull is on as @daisyjdog.  Yes my dog is on Twitter.

I love your Tweets, but I'm a little offended that your dog doesn't follow me.  I'm considering officially unfollowing her.   Officially and judicially.

In general, I assume that if i don't see you in my FB newsfeed, you've got me on a restricted list ... you're posting "real" stuff only to your close friends and your entire friend list only sees really general stuff or nothing at all. I expect this is doubly true for famous types. After all, I've done the same ... I have some friends that I had to hide from my feed -- peaceandlove, peaceandlove as Richard Starkey said, but these people spend the evening drunk-quizzing, or they play every single game - and those games poop up your newsfeed really quickly. The occasional quiz I don't mind but some people really go nuts.

(Fave quiz I saw a friend do: "which shitty Williamsburg bar are you?")

What I"m getting at is that I didn't want to delete my friends, but I have unfriended a few famous people b/c what they were selling on FB, I wasn't buying, know what I mean?  So TL if you're only using FB casually Twitter is probably the way to go. You'd have to moderate a forum - or have someone do it for you.
