Following InZane XII

[Tim H]

Is there a Twitter hash tag that's being used?  I know there will be some posts here when people make it back to their computers, but it's nice to follow an event like this live.  Blackrams called me last night from there, so now I'm jealous.  I thought I could at least pay attention to updates throughout the day.

we are an ancient folk. still stuck in the technology of a simpler time. they will post here, if only to cause more pain to those left behind.
Did I mention that we are a spiteful and vengeful folk also?

Tim we could start one - not sure it would get much use .  I don't tweet much.  #inzane12 would be simple and make sense.

Ok, I will play the dumb ass  and no I am not joking, WTF is a hash tag???? in my day Hash was smoked and tag was removed from clothing. I have never Twittered, Tweeted on whatever, honestly dont even know what it is...  Sorry Folks I am with Tank on this, "Aincient Folk"

I have  new cell phone....it has a very unique function.......press one button and a ringing sound happenes and then you can actually talk to a person far far away as if they are standing right next to you.  Its truly amazing.

Wot!!!

You actually want to humanly communicate with another human. How very retro of you.

What is this twitter you speak of??? Does it have anything to do with this book made out of your face?

Ditto.     What the heck is a hash tag?   ???

[Rams]

Tim,
I'm doing the best I can,  I made a special trip to Wally World to get some of the new Kodak Film for my camera, they aren't real "with it" here in AR.  They don't seem to know what I was talking about.  Once I get film for my Insta-Matic, I'll send pics via USPS.  OK.

#inzane12 it is... I don't take many pics so I'll try to do some of this as my side note 

I'm WamegoRob.. Al, what's your Twitter account?

Oh yeah I can see it now, a bunch of frig'n farts hanging around their cell phones pushing buttons trying to figure out how to send you a tweet, peep, chirp, and beep…    looks like hash when done.    Oh boy…..ain’t this a frig’n blast?   yep ….just sit’n around the breakfast table… all on their cell phones      ….."Screw the ride" I’ve got to peep Tim! I mean cheep….ahhh  sheet….. the heck with it let’s ride!

Ice - on Twitter.com you can look up any posts that have a specific "hash tag"  they all begin with #.  If you search for #inzane12 you will find a total of two .  If you have a twitter account and post, that's called a tweet.  Not sure where that came from.  but that's what they call it.  If you post a comment and/or a picture you can add #inzane12 to the post and anyone that wants to follow that conversation or find what's happening at Inzane can do so by reading those posts.  Make sense?

" If you have a twitter account and post, that's called a tweet.  Not sure where that came from." really?

[signart]

Those that can, ride. Those that can't, tweet.

[Ice]

Al, I thank you for the explanation,  BUT your still above my education level  I think I missed that day in school. 
I all honesty, I still have no clue what a Twitter is, but I do understand fish taco,  (at least what it meant in my day  ) I dont use all the stuff, as Chris said, my phone is used to talk to people not text, tweet, twext or whatever it is most of you do.
I wish you all fun tweeting, twatting or whatever, and I sure hope you find time to ride in all the Twittering.

my phone is used to talk to people not text, tweet, twext or whatever

Heard this same sort of talk when I was jumping out of planes and helicopters in the Army ... "Why would you jump out of a perfectly good aircraft?!?"
I found that what they usually meant was, "I'm scared to try that, so I'll stay firmly planted on the ground and try to make fun of you."

Guys, once upon a time we didn't post messages to each other on these tubes we call the VRCC interwebs, either.  But we've grown to realize that it's a pretty neat tool and way cheaper & faster than licking stamps and running to the mailbox everytime we feel like sharing something.

Twitter is just another tool for letting people know stuff.  The cool part is that it can be easily read on the phone while waiting on lunch, unless you've got something akin to a Nokia brick from 1997, in which case you can still read the tweets at your leisure from the comfort and safety of your home.

I can't recall jumping from a single aircraft that I would describe as perfectly good; but Twitter, like throwing yourself into the wind (sound familiar?), can be a lot of fun if you're not scared.

Rob, I think Technology is a great tool, just some of it is above my head, I have never tweeted or twatted or whatever, to me a phone is to place a call receive a call, I am no fan of texting either, my fat fingers never write what I want to anyhow. 
And Mostly I am just jerking your guy's chain    , because I do  not Tweet or whatever its called. Dont even know how or if my phone could.
Hope all are having fun that's what's important

Well put, Twitter easily follows an event, Facebook follows people you know (and exposes your private data) 

[solo1]

You know, the art of communication has more techniques for communicating to another person than I ever would have thought possible back in my day of pay phones (remember them.).  It had to be a very important message then to go to the trouble of finding a pay phone, drop in a nickle and keep the conversation short in order not to run past the allotted time on the phone.

it seems to me that in the process of developing newer and newer technology, that it has become more like we don't need to have worthwhile conversation, just MORE conversation, just because we CAN.

I do have to admit that the internet is a great source of all types of intelligence and communicating.  I would compare it to going to the library when i was a kid. 

However, the true art of communicating, one on one, looking at each other eyeball to eyeball, has been downgraded, in my opinion (that's IMO in shorthand) with the exception of a good ole fashioned face to face kicking the tires and swappin' lies.

 There are people today who feel very uneasy talking face to face, but excel at texting, tweeting, Facebook, etc.  Have they lost the art of communicating, I don't know.

Not ranting, just reminiscing.

I'm glad i was at Inzane 12. Tweet twitter text-screw it-i'm a face to face kinda guy-usually. Meeting people and shaking hands and gettin hugs from the ladies.  Try doin that on a lectronic thingy.  I use my cell phone to make phone calls. This here computer dealy i'm still kinda sorta lernin bout slowly.  I have a small inkling about what i MISSED at Bellaire last year. To all i was face to face with-THANK YOU-to those i missed-i'll try real hard to be at 13.  RIDE SAFE.
