The caps-aware among you will notice that I modified my Twitter name slightly. Slight issue in that that is my biz. name, and this is… [#]
|
|
..not an official business tweetstream. But oh well…Freelance Lance is increasingly who I am, biz or not. This seems better. [#]
|
|
Also the capitalization tends to obscure the core wordplay from which the name was born (“free Lance”). But it’s easier to read, which wins. [#]

Suggestion: why don’t we all change our time settings to Argentina or S.C., to help Mark Sanford avoid detection? ;-0 [#]

Twitterverse IQ test: Will “Michael” or “Micheal” dominate tweetsream? [#]
|
|
True story: I once won 20 dollars in a bet over whether that name was spelled Michael or Micheal. I practically insisted she not bet me… [#]
|
|
…yes, that’s right, I took 20 dollars from a woman with bad spelling. But I swear, she was soooo insistent, I couldn’t say no. [#]
|
|
@angelobell I definitely have a “human” reaction to their deaths, and (sadly) will mourn them much more than the millions of unkown folks… [#]
|
|
@angelobell …who have died during my life. I was with their loved ones, I would be v. respectful. But they are still pop figures as well. [#]
|
|
*If* I was with their loved ones, I meant. But if I let myself go into full mourning for every stranger that dies, I would die myself. [#]
|
|
The truth is, I don’t have personal feelings toward Ed, Farrah, or MJ. I didn’t know the real them, nor they me. They’re famous strangers. [#]
|
|
@angelobell That is precisely what I would do if I was talking to anyone who was close to someone who died, celebrity or not. [#]
|
|
It’s worth noting that I don’t see death as inherently sad. Death just is. It’s not the death that gets ya, it’s the sadness. [#]
|
|
Let’s not forget that all three of the icons who passed this week lived amazingly full lives, and reached 100s of millions of people. [#]

@CoachVanessa :: Keep in mind that a blog at wordpress.com is very limited compared to a Wordpress blog installed on your own site. [#]

@CoachVanessa :: And Typepad ultimately is for-fee and (I believe) closed software; Wordpress is open source and free of charge. [#]

FYI: I wasn’t dissing Wordpress vs Typepad a couple tweets back, I was dissing Wordpress.com hosted blog vs Wordpress installed on your site [#]

If you have a business blog, having it hosted at Wordpress.com must be considered just a stepping stone to a full Wordpress install, IMO. [#]

Now following Lance Browns in Lawrence KS; Greenville SC; Jacksonville FL; NYC; Boise ID; and Montgomery AL. (That first one was from L.A..) [#]

I do realize that most of my tweets are ??? . But, a) I’m a writer ; b) I’m still settling in, and c) …Um…you get what you pay for? IDK. [#]
