Astonishing images from North Korea (propaganda has it that Kim Jong il has superpowers!) http://bit.ly/5IBeZ #
To those trembling due to fear: Why not come out and face it head on? Btr to do that than lose cowering in the corner! #
@sw6rdsch66l Thanks! If you’ll google his name (Dima Chatrov) you’ll find an amazing site with tons of cool pics. (re: my background) in reply to sw6rdsch66l #
@CraigTeich I am having a similar issue. Can’t follow back, and I’m following less than following me by over 1k. Very odd & frustrating in reply to CraigTeich #
@CraigTeich According to @Radioblogger You can now only follow 1k people per day, and you are capped after that. New Policy. Bad policy. in reply to CraigTeich #
@delbius - 1k follower limit too small. I applaud the anti-spam efforts, but this will cause spammers to open more accts, and hurt others. #
@AndrewEJenkins 700+ pages, but you’re right - a great book! You might also check out Gary Habermas and Mike Licona’s book on the Rez. in reply to AndrewEJenkins #
@delbius Thanks so much for the quick response - will file a ticket. Perhaps there could be a sliding scale on the following limit? in reply to delbius #
@delbius BTW, again I am all for anti-spam efforts. Thank you for what you are doing to combat it! I know with the worm, etc its been tough in reply to delbius #
@JimKondo Thanks so much for the RT, Jim! in reply to JimKondo #
RT @ikepigott: WOW! Spam wastes enough energy and electricity to power more than 2-million homes a year: http://snurl.com/gahq0 #
@Bitlockers Hi Richard - it’s a 1k following limit per day. In other words, you can’t follow more than 1k people per day. Not big for most. in reply to Bitlockers #
@webhead20 Hawaii? No kidding. Never developed much taste for it myself -either the meat kind or the computer kind. in reply to webhead20 #
@dandbradio Okay Jim, I think: 1.AL, 2.LSU 3.ARK 4. AU 5. OM 6 MSU Ole Miss a bust this year, and ARK much improved w/ Ryan Mallett in reply to dandbradio #
@scottbradley77 “If it was completely different, school would be great.” (Calvin and Hobbes also) #quotes in reply to scottbradley77 #
@BH4USMC Brandon Harris! It’s great to hear from you, man. Has anybody thanked you for serving our country today? THANK YOU either way! in reply to BH4USMC #
Movies stars who die the most in movies (not quite as morbid as it sounds) Interesting! http://bit.ly/Gi5PP #
@twitter I suggest you raise the following limit (or at least tier it) and focus more on accts that are actually tweeting spam! Thanks… in reply to twitter #
@twitter The net effect of this measure will be to have spammers create more fake accounts. It hurts real users, and doesn’t curtail spam #
@ThinkReferrals Nor do I spam. In fact, with over 500 tweets, I have posted a link to my own websites less than 10 times. Let @twitter know! in reply to ThinkReferrals #
@hereannow Hi James, No, I don’t believe I know her. Sorry about that. in reply to hereannow #
@manishvpania Hi Manish - thanks for the RT. Hope all is well in the Bay of Bengal area - Congrats on the Super Kings win over Bangalore! in reply to manishvpania #
@kurtismarsh Thanks for the RT, Kurtis, and thanks even more for serving in the USMC and Florida National Guard! in reply to kurtismarsh #
@Bitlockers True, Richard - I wonder how the limit will work on the biggest accounts. Will they be exempt? in reply to Bitlockers #
@Bitlockers Yeah, the 9.5 was pretty clever - thanks for the RT, as always! in reply to Bitlockers #
@kurtismarsh Driving a humvee during a hurricane sounds like an incredibly exciting thing to do - I envy you! in reply to kurtismarsh #
@ThinkReferrals Thanks for the RT, TR! BTW, I like your blog! in reply to ThinkReferrals #
@kurtismarsh Wow - maybe not as fun as I had imagined, but still pretty darn exciting, I would imagine. in reply to kurtismarsh #
Are the stadium seats causing the home run explosion at Yankee Stadium? #yankees #baseball http://bit.ly/Xw9in #
RT @abc3340: EarthQuake Hits Alabama : http://clkurl.com/?tw615213 Any Alabamians feel it this morning? #
@abc3340 I can almost guarantee you have a news story happening on your website. Check your stats, your bingo poll is being “gamed”! in reply to abc3340 #
@abc3340: By gamed, I mean somebody (with the gambling industry) is manipulating the outcome. Too many votes overall, & too many “for” votes #
@troubledblondie Hi Rachael! It happened shortly after 5 am, near Bibb county, and was apparently felt in Birmingham. in reply to troubledblondie #
@shelleyellen Not to worry, Shelley - it wasn’t much of an earthquake, apparently. We get very mild ones somewhat frequently. in reply to shelleyellen #
@bogeydog Wow, Ben - that sounds exciting! I slept through it, and have never felt a real earthquake as far as I know. Good thing, I guess. #
@dandbradio: I tweeted this article earlier: http://bit.ly/Xw9in It’s about the seat angle and winds causing the Yankee stadium Home runs. #
@rebekah888 Yeah, the quake was centered in Bibb county (south of B’ham) and not very powerful. I didn’t feel it either in North Bham. in reply to rebekah888 #
@carolmwagner Carol - they’re not uncommon here, but we don’t get them nearly as powerful as you all in Cali! in reply to carolmwagner #
@nebulous_blue I don’t think it traveled as far south as Mobile. I didn’t feel it either and I was quite close comparatively. in reply to nebulous_blue #
@bogeydog 4:15?!! That’s insane, Ben - sorry you have to deal with that everyday. in reply to bogeydog #
@djrdixon Thanks, David! Hope you are well in Singapore. in reply to djrdixon #
@ikepigott I read Kranz’s article too, and completely agree with you. His proposal is unrealistic, unnecessary, and overkill. in reply to ikepigott #
When it comes to Twitter, one man’s signal is another man’s noise! #
@acnatta Thanks for the RT, Andre! I actually thought I had made that up in my kitchen just now, but a quick Google search proved me wrong. in reply to acnatta #
@sschablow I think Kranz’s proposal is far too limiting, but he’s obviously provoked some good thought. The idea behind it is somewhat sound in reply to sschablow #
@sschablow The idea being to curb nonsense, and make one actually try to contribute something worthy to the Twitter stream. #
@acnatta By the way, Andre - Facebook was performing quite oddly for me about an hour ago also. Rolling updates sounds correct. in reply to acnatta #
Just joined a twibe. Visit http://twibes.com/BirminghamAL to join #
Soon it will be possible to post to Twitter just by thinking. So much for the 5 tweet a day limit! http://bit.ly/y7gDZ #
@acnatta @jacobpigott Yes, he seems to be quite earnest about the issue, as if it personally wounds him. in reply to acnatta #
@jacobpigott Maybe your right, Jacob - I have met a few people that might fall below the 5/thoughts per day threshold! in reply to jacobpigott #
@Jabinya Thanks for the RT, Jason. That’s a striking painting you have as a background on your page - is that your work? in reply to Jabinya #
@jacobpigott I’m with you on the 140 chars. I could often use just a few more… in reply to jacobpigott #
@jacobpigott Yes - it is quite difficult to be colorful and descriptive on Twitter. I value succinctness, but wish it wasn’t so bland. in reply to jacobpigott #
@Jabinya A fascinating piece, Jason. The lips and eyes are really quite amazing. Your painting “Now”…Wow! So vivid! I love it. in reply to Jabinya #
@jacobpigott Black and white = good analogy. That’s how I feel sometimes. It does force you to choose wisely, though. Nothing extraneous! in reply to jacobpigott #
@Jabinya I like the vinyl paintings. I’ve never seen that before! Where will your works be exhibited? in reply to Jabinya #
@Jabinya Sounds great - I hope the show goes well. in reply to Jabinya #
Albert Einstein’s brain was actually smaller than normal (and other semi-morbid factoids) http://bit.ly/aI30P #
People at this park don’t like soccer! (amusing pic, unless you’re a soccer fan) http://bit.ly/12pmpV #
@drbeckloff Glad you enjoyed it, Dean! in reply to drbeckloff #
@Suns39 You’re right, Sunny - obviously size isn’t the most important thing! in reply to Suns39 #
@findyoursmile @cchawk @jaycaruso: Thanks for the RT, Colin, Colleen, and Jay! in reply to findyoursmile #
@CarlaQue I’m learning to like it as well - I’m more of an American football fan, but I’ve got three kids playing soccer now! in reply to CarlaQue #
@methodusti Have you found lacrosse to be more common in Alabama? I’ve not seen much of it. in reply to methodusti #
@methodusti No kidding? I had no idea! I guess you learn something every day. in reply to methodusti #
Forbes: Yes, I’m a CEO, and yes, I use Twitter: (includes phases of Twitter use) http://bit.ly/9BT9x #
@Suns39 Thanks so much, Sunny. Hopefully I’ll send out a few more here in a few minutes! in reply to Suns39 #
@2assist Thanks Michelle. I believe that we are only scratching the surface of Twitter so far…long term results should be even better! in reply to 2assist #
RT @AwakenToTruth What the Bible says about fighting terrorism. http://tinyurl.com/dckrut - Interesting Rabbi Gellman article. #
@methodusti Thanks Dusti, I found it quite interesting as well. in reply to methodusti #
@carolmwagner Thanks Carol! in reply to carolmwagner #
Baseball brawl gone horribly wrong. If you are the faint of heart this IS FOR YOU! http://bit.ly/la9Rs #
@blackjkspollock Thanks Gregory - I enjoyed it myself! in reply to blackjkspollock #

@EmmaRileySutton You might not be experiencing a bug - Twitter has a new limit, you can’t follow more than 1k/day. http://bit.ly/Ba2Ro in reply to EmmaRileySutton #
@foleypod I’m the same way, Chris - barely worth a dime in the morning! (worth at least fourteen cents by 11 pm) in reply to foleypod #
@mswilburne I agree, Claudia…I’d like to see something like that in person! in reply to mswilburne #
Why use hashtags on Twitter? (i.e. #followfriday) A great answer by @wiseleo http://bit.ly/TU50B (you should follow him too!) #
