Twitterpated: Instant News

Posted on December 15th, 2010

I have something to confess:  I don’t like reading the newspaper (except the local ones).  I don’t watch the news.  I listen to the radio so rarely that I don’t really get news from there, either.  News is icky and I despise politics.  I just really don’t want the downer of ‘real’ news and have no interest [...]

Twitterpated: Chats

Posted on October 20th, 2010

Conversation is a big part of the Twitter experience.  I think I talk to more people on Twitter than I do in real life! That’s not because of my poor social skills (well, not entirely), it’s often just because I have more in common with people I follow on Twitter.  After all, it’s a curated list [...]

Twitterpated: Hashtags for Conventions

Posted on September 29th, 2010

If you do a lot of travelling, conventions, events – anything involving a lot of people – Twitter can be a valuable tool, both for planning and ‘on the scene’. To use these tags, you can perform a search on the Twitter website, or your favourite Twitter client.  Including the # means that, in many [...]

Twitterpated: Watching the Olympics

Posted on August 18th, 2010

I’ve been on Twitter for a year and a half now.  Though there are countless reasons why I’m happy I joined the social networking site (obviously, or this little series wouldn’t exist!) there was one night in February that, unexpectedly, ended up being one of the most fun times I’ve spent on the site. I [...]

Twitterpated: Nova Scotian Peeps

Posted on July 9th, 2010

I joined Twitter quite a while after first hearing about it.  The delay wasn’t so much that I didn’t want to use it, I just didn’t know where to start.  At least on Facebook, you can start by making a profile, playing some games… you know… Facebook stuff.  But Twitter… well, I didn’t know anyone [...]

Twitterpated: Taz Records

Posted on June 25th, 2010

“We aim to be the best record store you’ve ever stepped foot in.” Taz Records, on market street in Halifax, certainly lives up to it’s goal. It was about a year ago when, frustrated with your run of the mill record store, I turned to Twitter with a question. Is there anywhere around here with [...]

Twitterpated: Symphony of Science

Posted on June 11th, 2010

This series is not just about people or places that are on Twitter, but interesting stories, facts, even websites that I discovered because of the social networking site.  Symphony of Science is one example of this (though I have found out that they are, actually, on Twitter as well). Symphony of Science is a project [...]

Twitterpated: Strange Adventures

Posted on May 28th, 2010

I’m not a huge comic book fan, but I do like comics and I do, currently, collect a few series (though I’m at least a year behind; stupid money) and I do love comic book stores. I’ve been living in Nova Scotia since 2001 and for most of that time, never heard about or come [...]

Twitterpated: Airline Deals

Posted on May 14th, 2010

Thanks to Twitter, and a bit of shopping around, I’m able to go to Orlando in August. One day I was on Twitter and saw a tweet from West Jet come through about what sounded like an awesome deal on a return trip to Orlando.  I check out the site and yep, it totally worked [...]

Some New Ideas

Posted on May 7th, 2010

The month of April was very inspiring to me, from history presentations to blog postings from so many people, including friends and sites I follow.  All these wonderful posts and themes have given me some ideas for this site. First, I have a few ideas for a short series of “I am…” posts.  Think “I [...]
