Anyone else here corruptingly jealous of the Escapist Twitter conversation? It's like watching a group of cool kids jabbering in a glass case with the sound piped out; you can hear it all, you can come up with the most wicked zings, but never deliver them where they matter.

Hmmm. I think I've just demonstrated that Escapist's Twitter feed is pretty much exactly like Friends. Sorry about that.

(Feel free to leave your thoughts on the Twitter feed, or even better, your own asynchronous non sequitur reply to any particular Twitter post [Twiit?] hereabouts)

I've never read The Escapist's before, just go to twitter and start one up with your own friends. Mine chiefly consists of people barking 140 letter jokes about the games they're playing.

I'm not talking about just any old microblog, or the phenomenon in general. I'm talking about the one we have here, at Escapist.

Feel free to start a twitter account of your own and sent @replies to people. ;)

We even have some profile integration like so: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/friends/SaintWaldo?view=twitter

It'll show the twitter feeds of your friends combined, similar to the front page feed.

FYI...All my twittering represents the corporate interests of 3DO and Trip Hawkins circa 1994.

Cold hard cash is the only thing that will get me to sell out my twitter superiority!

Just FYI if you meet ckeymel in real life, she's a nice girl but she's got this crazy thing over ponies. Whatever you do, NEVER ever bad mouth my little pony. Trust me on this. Also, she's a bit self-conscious about her feet smelling like cabbage. Just look at her latest twitter post!

I suppose my scathing review on the two My Little Pony Movies should wait then?
