[Paul Griswold]

If you just can't wait for the next podcast, remember you can always practice your written Japanese by sending your Twitters to @Japancast

[Shia]

That was quite informative. But i still dont get the "sending your Twitters to @Japancast" part. あ～もう良いわ、諦めた！[i give up] 全然分かんない。Thanks anyway QuinsY.

[QuinsY]

To be honest, I do not get that part either.. Shiaさん。 I suppose it means that @japancast would need to either be following you on Twitter.com i.e. recieve your twitter messages automatically. Or you could copy / paste your twitter messages and send them to Paul / Hitomi.. somehow? I don't get it really well either as you can all see...

From the FAQ on Twitter.com:

What is it?

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

What does it mean to follow someone on Twitter?
Following someone simply means receiving their Twitter updates. How you receive the updates (on your phone, IM, or just on the web) is up to you. You can set your following preferences based on device, and then set notification preferences for each person you follow. Your followers are those who have elected to receive your twitters.

What are @replies?
@replies are twitters directed at a specific user in response to one of their updates. When someone replies to your Twitter update by using @username, we collect their reply and catalog it the replies tab on your logged-in home page. You can reply publicly to any update on Twitter by using the @username format.

What is the difference between @username and Direct Message?
Messages sent via Direct Message (D + username +update) are private, and readable only by the person you send it to. Messages sent in the@username format are public.


For more info on using @replies, see this part of the Twitter Help file:

I dont quite understand how it works. Am I suppose to create an account at the website, or was the url simply to provide the meaning of Twitters? Am I suppose to send my "one simple question" to my Japancast email address?

説明してください。よく分からないんですよ

[Paul Griswold]

Twitter is possibly the most popular social networking site on the internet. It's so popular it routinely goes down because of the massive number of people using it. I figured most people have heard of it and know what it's about by now. Can someone else explain it? Unless you use it, it's hard to explain.

I am at your Twitters network. So you read them? :P
