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

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

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

What? I'm a bit confused about info regarding chess.com only found on twitter. I paid the big bucks for the "all you can eat buffet" at chess.com as a diamond member. So, I would appreciate some staff member explaining this tweet thing to me as if you were talking to a kindergarten kid. Tongue out

I went to high school when there were no computers on campus. Now, there was this machine that a school club was messing with where you stuck hole punched paper into it to get the machine to perform stupid tricks. It looked like a complete waste of time. I went to high school in the heart of silicon valley in San Jose, CA. 

When I came home from college, dual floppy drives were all the rage. So was this company called...oh yeh...Apple. Strange name for a company if you ask me. At least IBM stands for something. Computer hobbyists were so excited about being able to have DOS in one drive while running an application from the other drive! I still didn't get excited about those dumb machines.

Yes, I use twitter and I'll start following chess.com.

Isn't it amazing how many people have strong views about Twitter -- who've never used it or even know how it works?
