retroed Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I'm now stalking you, Ben. Follow me. Imagine that in Abe's voice. That's how it sounded when I typed it.
Hendo Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 Wasn't sure this warranted its own thread, but a competitor to Twitter is out there that seems to be less broad and keeps things a bit more community-based. https://www.path.com/home Stealth startup Path has finally launched after months of hype, speculation and rumors; in many ways, it is the anti-social network.Path calls itself “The Personal Network” because it’s determined to go against the example set by Twitter’s follower model; you are limited to just 50 friends on Path. It chose the 50 number based on the theories of Oxford professor of evolutionary psychology Robin Dunbar, who claims that 150 is the maximum number of social relationships any human can handle. “Because your personal network is limited to your 50 closest friends and family, you can always trust that you can post any moment, no matter how personal,” the company said in its announcement blog post. “Path is a place where you can be yourself.” So what exactly is Path? It is a suite of applications (starting today with the iPhone) focused on intimate photo sharing. All you do is share pictures and three pieces of information to give them context: people, places and things. As part of its mission to be a personal network, Path has spurned the usual social networking norms; likes, comments, and photo sharing on your other social networks are nowhere to be found. There are no photo filters or viral photos like you might find on Instagram. Path has received a lot of attention because of its founding team: former Facebook senior platform manager Dave Morin, Macster co-creator Dustin Mierau and Napster co-founder Shawn Fanning. The company raised a blockbuster seed funding round with angel investors like Kevin Rose, Ron Conway and Paul Buchheit. Is Path’s against-the-grind approach a recipe for success? It’s going to get a lot of attention and a lot of downloads based on the reputation of its founders alone, but whether that translates into consistent, active users could be another story. Then again, the power of exclusivity could work in Path’s favor. Am signing up now, worth a go. I like the idea. App only available in the US store and I haven't got a US account so this may be pointless at the moment.
Jimboxy Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I don't really get it. If i just wanted to share stuff with friends and family, I would just use email..
Hendo Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 Signed up, got app. I'm not really sure what I'll take pictures of but I'm sure I'll find something mundane to show off.
Hendo Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 I don't quite get it. I commented on one of your pictures but I can't see it anywhere, I assume it just sent you a text with my comment. If that's the case then it kind of makes the whole idea of it being social a bit redundant.
Hendo Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 Nope, it was the picture of the tyre swing.
shaolin_monkey Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I'm back on twitter and its lonely. Pls follow ;( ChibiRobocop: https://mobile.twitter.com/ChibiRobocop Followed! I'm on Twitter as scowlingmonkey
Sly Reflex Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I think I followed you all. Pipe up if I didn't.
retroed Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I added you but it still says pending. Probably because you have protected your tweets.
Manicm Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Ah i had to change mine due to hackers a few months back, its mainly work crap and thoughts, nothing too indepth but my twitter is @manicm78lee will add you guys now Will add who i can find, chibbo has come up protected?? Would it be worth having a front page like we have for gamertags??
Manicm Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 When you protect your tweets does that mean if someone wants to follow you can accept or decline?? i had a stalker well i think i did and flipped protected tweets, if they are currently following you im guessing you just block them?
Hendo Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 I'm back on Twitter as @MrHendoMusic because when you delete your account, your username vanishes completely. I'm not writing on it much at all but always trying to keep up to date with other people's randomness.

hinn888 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Follwing you guys now Mines @hinn888 if you care about the crap i write.
Hendo Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Did you find you have to use a different email address? It's really bugging me!! I think I'm on the same email address, but that username has gone for good.
AndyKurosaki Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I'm on as AndyKurosaki for all your daily gaming/what I'm watching/random gibberish needs. :-)
Grizzly Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 i am on as grizzlykreiden if you want to watch me waffle on
DANGERMAN Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I've just tried gong on your profile and it said you'd been suspended. Have you been tweeting racist abuse to footballers again? could just be a glitch with tweetbot?
