    Okay, I am actually wondering if anyone here is on Twitter?

    I have been searching, but there seems to be lack of Coin / Bullion oriented Tweeters.

    If there are other people willing post their twitter page, then I would post mine. :D Also, it doesn't have to be coin / bullion related... just curious really and looking to "follow" more people with like minds.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    PS Just to be clear Twitter is not in competition with CoinTalk... it is "micro-blogging" where you can post (from online, im, or phone) on any subject. Would actually be nice to see some more Coin / Bullion related Tweets that could link back here to CoinTalk.

    Sweet!

    Our fearless leader tweets! :hail: LOL

    You've been followed. :)

    My page is: http://twitter.com/AshcraftCoin

    I think there are probably a lot of people from here on there, but without "coin" or something similar to pull up in the search... it is hard to find them.

    Come on, keep the twitter pages coming!

    Thanks Peter!

    Well, I am no Twitter expert, but I will try to explain...

    If you are logged in and you go to http://twitter.com/home you will see the most recent posts of anyone you "followed" (I like to look at it as subscribed) and maybe some of your own updates if they are recent enough.

    When you send an update of your own, everyone who "followed" you will see your update on their /home page. (along with anyone else they followed)

    If you want to see the most recent updates from a certain user, then you go to http://twitter.com/USERNAME and it will show updates only from that user. Such as: http://twitter.com/AshcraftCoin OR http://twitter.com/CoinTalk

    Look for the "Find People" link at the top and click to that page and then search by keyword to find people who you might be interested in getting updates from. The pickings are slim for "coin"... hence the reason for this post.

    I personally searched...

    Gold
    Silver
    Stocks
    Forex
    Investment

    Among other things.

    Hope that helps!

    Regards,
    Michael

    If I comment on something you type will you know?
    If I just randomly type...

    Funny... I found facebook useless. :)

    Yes, I think when you type @username that user will see it whether they have followed you or not... however, I am not positive. Also, a message sent that way is public and seen by everyone following you. (You can send direct messages privately also.)
