Hey, I just bought a few issues of Ellis’ Ocean series for 10 cents each! Oh, gotta go!

Yes those are messages I am sending to other people, and Twitterfox is the program I was using to send the messages.

So are those messages you write and send to other people? You are ‘twitterfox’?

That’s the instant messaging part of it… directing a message specifically at someone (even though other people can read it). You can also send private messages that don’t go out to everyone.

I enjoy reading the updates, but I don’t understand the @-lines. From Twitterfox in response to davechensky etc. How does those work?

Warren Ellis is one of the few comic book writers that I follow with any frequency. Greg is the true comic book geek of the group though.

I used to think Twitter was retarded as well but its a neat little diversion. I’m also following Warren Ellis; didn’t think you guys were big comic fans.

I thought the same thing Paul… it’s just another way for people to waste their time talking about themselves, right? But there’s also a reason it has caught on, and it’s definitely more useful for people who are always on the go. I’m usually in front of a computer all the time anyway, but if it helps connect Film Junk to people who aren’t, then that’s a good thing.

I find Twitter so absurdly useless.
