My aversion to Twitter stems from the fact that I don’t text. Period. Sending or receiving. It’s disabled on my phone. (There have been a few occasions when having that means of communication might have been convenient, but paring down my communications to the bare bones of ~ a gross of characters is something I refuse to sucumb to for now) Also, since I am prohibited from having a camera phone at work, and by extension don’t want to bother with the cost of a data plan, I don’t have a smart phone.
But I have two specific issues with twitter.
- Twitter pages load particularly slow on some of the computers I use. It’s quite frustrating, considering the “I want it now” way things usually are on the internet.
- The times I have gone to Jim’s twitter, I usually have large issues finding the tweets he is responding to so that I have context. Someone savvy probably doesn’t have problems like that, but coupled with everything else, I figure I’ll just be a fuddy duddy and not bother.
An RSS probably wouldn’t address that last issue. But hey what would I know. I spend hours at a time searching for old interviews and obscure WoJ sources that I might have missed in earlier trolling expeditions (in the fishing sense of the word) of the inter-webs. So in that context, I figure I’d rather be pleasantly surprised when some other dedicated, twitter savvy fan finds something there and posts it for me to see here on the boards.
Hey, hopefully this is the right place to put this. I've been a lurker for a little while, and I've noticed that there seems to be some discussion aboutI asked Jim about it while he was signing my copy of Changes, he laughed maniacally and told me that Harry wouldn't get out of it that easy.(click to show/hide)
Thanks for moving! I wasn't really sure where to put it, so the compilation thread is a great idea.
Do we know if Jim will do more interviews, or online chats, of any kind? I'm generally willing to transcribe stuff.
Do you know about this interview?
