It's the perfect time for you to buy a house in the outskirt subburbs.

LOL, not really.

It's always time to get out of a Condo.

Well, despite the equity I have in it after 15 years, the whole "are you gainfully employed" thing sorta complicates things in today's real estate market.

Somebody threw a wrench in the twitter machine.

"Twitters broke, my life has no meaning anymore," one user wrote on the social media website Tumblr.
Another wrote, "twitter is down and my life is over."

  If twitter weren't blocked at work I'd probably have a better understanding of why people like it so much.  I use it on my phone to keep track of a handful of people's posts, but even at that I probably only look at it once a week.

I have no need for Twitter.  I still use the old Soviet method of telephones.

Closest telephonic equivalent would be conference calls, I guess.

Follow journos for your favorite pro sports. NHL coverage on twitter as changed the landscape so much.

I spent several weeks of my last job on twitter, I still don't have a firm grasp, though I've liked it for getting up-to-date local items. Sometimes you can get news before any media outlet has had time to put a piece together.

I think Tuesday was the first time I ever used Twitter, but it was amazing how I got moment by moment news on that Glendale / Goldwater hearing.

I use it as a news feed during the trading day. I've never actually made a tweet. 


Edit: Strangely, I have a couple followers though.

Wasn't the first report of the military action of whacking of OBL at his compound that night first reported by one of his neighbors in Pakistan?
