everyone else is doing it so why can't we?

As if this blog wasn't a big enough outlet for my stream of consciousness and decorating non sequiturs, I also tweet. Did you know? I do. Sporadically. I'm still learning and it makes me feel like Kathy Griffin's mother on Faceplace, but nonetheless please follow me @nickolsenstyle.

And her, here.

* A free Paul Evans credenza goes to the first commenter who gets my title reference!

  2. Oh my gosh please tell me that was a Cranberries reference.

    PS- I'll follow you on twitter. I'm on there too, but haven't totally figured it out either... so I just read other people's "tweets" but rarely say anything myself.

  3. We have a winner! Sarah, unfortunately your credenza was lost in a terrible fire at my 40,000-square foot fantasy storage warehouse. Please accept a case of my favorite Ocean Spray CranApple Cranberry Apple Juice Drink in its stead.

  6. Eliza, I still don't get how the "#" or "@" symbols work. Can I just tweet @ anyone? Like La Liz? Also, I'd like to become a meme.

    Tommy, it took me a second but I got it. And cackled.

  8. Nick, you should add a "Follow me on Twitter" thingy on the side of the blog.

  9. I want you to become a meme, too.

    (Was that a creepy internet drive-by comment, or what?!)

  10. I thought the title referred to everyone else is using famous photographers photographs without crediting them.

  11. Nick, it took me a while to figure out the # and @ too. The # indicates a "trending topic" - a title which I think is no help at all.

    Basically, you add a #_____ if whatever you're saying falls under a category, and this can be a real or made up category.

    Personally, I think the # is only worth using if it makes the statement funnier by adding a "category" someone might not automatically have associated with the statement. Such categories could be things like, "whywebrokeup," "britneymademethinkitwasok," "whyican'tlivenearpinkberry," etc.

    I have a feeling you'll be really good w/ the # once you get the hang of it.

    And yes, you can use the @ for any twitter user. It just makes it pop up on their homescreen so they know you "tweeted 'at' them."
