Twitter “auto followers”

Published by Andrew under Twitter, ljxp

Given the nature of Twitter, I don’t understand those who just automatically follow everyone who shows up on the Twitter home page. I just blocked about 5 “followers” who were each following a couple of thousand people. Some were following as many as 80k people! Clearly they’re not actually “following” any of them, just automatically adding everyone who posts, hoping to GET as many followers as possible. “TwitterMosaic”? If I wanted to see everything posted by everyone on twitter, I’d just look at the twitter home page, not follow a specific user, who just reposts everything everyone says.
Then there was the guy who’s every tweet was “Let me help you make your life better! Read my web site! makemoneyfast.com” and variations thereof. Yeah, I need twitter spam about as much as I need email spam.
On the other hand, having finally gotten up and started my e-day, one of the first emails I read told me a lovely red-head and good friend had started following me on Twitter. :)

Kblogger not working? Or WP?

Published by Andrew under Twitter, Word Press, blogging, geeking

Weird. Posts made with kblogger never show up in my blog. They’re “published”, they get a post ID, I can see them in the database and all fields are the same as posts that do show up (well, with the exception of things I expect to be different. Date. Title. GID, etc.) I even see my to “test” posts made it to twitter, but they don’t show up in the blog. Not even in the management interface where I should see ALL posts, published, draft or otherwise.

OK, WP is working. I can post just fine from the web interface.

Got a new cell phone, trying to re-activate twitter SMS but my service won’t send to 40404. Not sure what’s going on.

Crap. Must remember to disable Twitter plugin when editing old posts.

OK, I keep seeing @username in the posts of people I’m following. Obviously replys. How does one “reply” to a tweet?
