BTW, one twitter question: What does "RT" mean? I think I have figured out that RT stands for "Re-Twitter"(?) - mostly based on sometimes seeing the construction "plase re-twitter" instead of the more common "pls RT" - and also because I notice that many of the messages that contain RT are repeated over and over again. But what is the point of this? It seems to be just adding to the clutter for no good reason. Is there some count of twitter posts kept that this is intended to inflate? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... Smart (TV) People on Ice!
