0000011773_square kk 2,114 post(s) Everybody is pissed off with the floods DT private mail, forums are packed with spam… I really think we got the solution. And there are a bunch of us on twitter speaking to eachother without all the email/dt mail clicks, no spam, honestly, it’s cool. You only follow who you wanna hear from, but we talk about the fly new tracks, so you don’t miss anything. * I want some of my DT buddies to get on it, so I’ve put together some simple instructions about how you get on twitter… Twitter might seem confusing now, but when you get into it you’re gonna love it… it’s changing the way we communicate. First off watch this video to get the basic on how we use twitter… it’s a bit stiff but you’ll get to understand twitter in 2 minutes ok, so here’s a check list to get you started.
  1. go to www.twitter.com
  2. register – choose a name that’s as short as possible
  3. when you register it will as ask you to put in your email address to check your contacts for who is already on twitter – you should add them! you can also invite people from your address book, but i’d do that another time.
  4. Make damn sure you add kkbeat – go to my profile www.twitter.com/kkbeat and press follow
  5. Choose a profile picture and a background image (I’ll do a note on this later) here’s my page www.twitter.com/kkbeat

LOL yeah i saw that pius… in fact wasnt it longer ago? i was hoping more people would jump on, so i thought i’d do a little tutorial. it’s so good… it’s starting to overtake email for me…. ............ that fncking video is broke, you cant see my speach marks. i used tubepopper.com – i thought it would be good, interface is cool, but it totally sucks monkey ass.

 
0000011773_square kk 2,114 post(s) WATCH THE VIDEO!! basically it’s kinda like instant messenger (cos you are in a conversation with lots of people at once) but you don’t have to reply to people, you can just read. So in that sense it also like blogs, but you write mini one-line blogs, which is cool cos i can’t be bothered to read more than a few sentences of most of you ;)..... OK so i’m gonna drip feed a few more bits on twitter…. TIPS
  • so you’re basically following a bunch of people now, right? You can see their mini posts on your home page. Here’s mystro talking about a storm and drestone about to write lyrics….......….
  • on the post below (by pharaoh) you can see that he has written about me to his followers (thanks dude). He’s put the @ sign before my name, which does two things: 1. Creates a link to my profile, so people can check out what I’m saying and if they like it, they can follow it. And 2. It notifies me that someone has spoken at me. You can see all of these ‘@name’ messages, along with ‘direct messages’ on your home page.
  • you can add links to your tracks in your twitter posts (tweets). here’s matt… he’s got the hang of links again. DAMN. (lol). You only have a limited space to type into, so you might want to use a service like http://tinyurl.com to cut the url down, like matt has below (you can also use bit.ly)
  • if there is someone who just keeps posting links, you can choose to stop following them, so you don’t get people who just post shit all the time. it’s like the forum but you filter out spammers. This isn’t directed at you Matt BTW..! i’m following! @monstermattman anyway, just go check it out, you’re gonna like it. http://twitter.com/kkbeat

dude, you aint getting it.. yeah we’re all on facebook, but facebook is just the same as DT really, a social network. you got profiles, private message etc… its the same. but twitter is just waaaay quicker way to communicate and you cut out spam and all the bullshit. just try it for fncks sake!
