Lately, we've seen a steadily increasing trend of new
followers on Twitter. We're closing in on the totally
arbitrary yet emotionally significant number of 10,000. I was
just thinking how cool it would be to hit that number before
or during DConf.
Now that my move is behind me and I'm settling in to my new
house, I have more time to stay on top of things (note that
"more" does not necessarily equate to "enough"). I'll try to
keep the tweet stream more active than usual over the coming
two+ weeks, even while I'm bopping around Germany in the week
prior to the conference.
If you have a Twitter handle, it would help us out to retweet
anything interesting you see on @D_Programming. If you aren't
following us, it would help us out even more for you to become
a statistic! Let's see if we can turn that 9,781 (as I write
this) into 10,000 before the Hackathon.
Each time i register to tweeter i got locked for no reasons.
This happened yesterday again WHILE writing the first message.
This is a problem when you don't own a smart-phone...
I think people should seriously stop using this service, they
don't realize but there are probably a bunch of psychos at the
top of hierarchy of this company.
These abusive lockings are a direct representation of their
madness.
I agree, which is why I never even bothered to sign up and last
year stopped checking the 3-4 people's streams I used to follow.
However, like it or not, it is a popular platform, just like
reddit, so it would be irresponsible for D and Mike not to market
and publicize there. When they go out of business, we won't have
that problem anymore.
