Does anyone out there use Twitter? If you do, be sure to follow chess.com's twitter feed. It can be found here: http://twitter.com/chesscom .

Wanna know when the new Live Chess comes out? Want to know about interesting games/articles/videos and stuff going on at chess.com? It will all be there. We even have a few surprises lined up just for folks reading the twitter feed. What are these "surprises" you ask? For that, you'll just have to follow us on Twitter, I guess.. :-)

Honestly, I have never even visited the Twitter site even though people talk about it 24/7. But if Chess.com is involved then maybe I will check it out...

Just to make sure this isn't a staff-only thread, I'll post here too! Smile

I don't use twitter. However, I may as well follow this!

Facebook consumes too much of my life as it is.

By the way, that free membership was completely unfair! I hadn't even signed up yet!! Wink

Install the Facebook Twitter app and everything will converge nicely.  :)

I really prefer twitter than facebook, I have both, and I use the "selective twitter" fb app, so just a tweet updates my fb status by adding the #fb hashtag.

 

twitter is a must, and you can follow me and discuss some games/tactics

I will follo to @chesscom

No, I've never used Twitter or Facebook.  To me, they seem without a clear purpose.  At least on chess.com, there's a reason to be here. 

(The reason is to play chess, of course.)

My short-lived Twitter thrill of the week came yesterday when I got a new follower:  Alexandra Kosteniuk.  Surprised

Then 'she' direct-messages me, saying she hopes we can play one day.  That was the straw that broke the credibility-camel's back.  Sure enough, a (very) little research confirmed that my follower was a big faker.

This is the REAL queen of chess:  http://twitter.com/chessqueen

This is NOT:  http://twitter.com/killerchess

Don't be fooled.

Sigh..Cry
