Teh Twitter. Yeah. I’m hip. What of it?
Let me tell you something about Twitter. Despite the many humor blogs you’ve seen written, most people on Twitter are not sending Tweets (yes, that’s really what they are called … sigh) highlighting every mundane detail of their lives. “About to eat chicken” … “Eating Chicken” … “Done with Chicken” … “Remember the part where I was eating the chicken? That was awesome” … this is not, some of you may be surprised to learn, what Twitter is all about.
Twitter is a fast moving environment for commentary and to share articles, news, links, photos and essentially a snapshot of what’s happening on the web and in the world, in brief but sometimes enlightening or hilarious bursts, which don’t allow for too much embellishment, too much verbosity, or too much pompous over-stylizing of the way in which one speaks and communicates what thoughts or above-mentioned links which they may be trying to share.
In other words, no sentences like the one I just typed.
If you aren’t familiar with Twitter, the first thing you’ll need to do is set up an account. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Now that you are on teh Twitter, you want to start following people. The way to do this is to go to their @twitter address and click on FOLLOW under the name. Easy! Now if only you knew WHO to follow … (cough @CalebHowe cough)
Following the right people is the key to enjoying Twitter. To that end, I’m going to make some suggestions. As this is an Open Thread, discuss what you will, but I invite you, in the tradition of #followfriday, to share your Twitter recommendations. (If you aren’t familiar with hashtags ask in the comments.)
Redstate on Twitter: @Redstate(obviously), @EWErickson, @jeffemanuel, @BrianFaughnan, @CAYankee, @SorenDayton, @MoeLane, @BaseballCrank, @Josh_Painter, @BillSTL, @Cianfrocca, @LeonWolf, @Kevinholtsberry, @MarkImpomeni, @RobertBluey, @JamesRichardson, and have I mentioned @CalebHowe?
Redhot Contributors: @simpson316, @aaron_gardner, @VladimirRS, @JadedByPolitics, @mbecker908, @RSBooBooKitty
Redstate Alums: @Yousefzadeh, @BDomenech, @SteveDillard,@HunterBaker, @JSTrevino
And some personal recommendations. Take my advice that you should take my advice: @JakeTapper (possibly my number one recommendation), @AndyLevy, @EdMorrissey, @AllahPundit, @LizMair, @AmSpec, @KarlRove, @streetwise_IT, @SteveFoley, @MediaLizzy, @right_examiner, @FredThompson, @BOTeleprompter, @MichelleMalkin, @snarkandboobs, @Lileks, @JTLol, @MKHammer, @vermontaigne, @collegepolitico, @MelissaTweets, @Duchess_Rebecca, @JPFreire, @JimmyTheNotable, @AKGovSarahPalin, @scrowder, @johnnydollar01 … you know this is getting too long.
Here you go, these are who I recommend: FOLLOW US. I’ll elaborate on some of my selections in the comments below.
So now you know. And don’t forget, in addition to #tcot, mark your posts with #rs to identify yourself as a proud RedStater and to have your tweets sorted into the #rs searches.
Now let’s hear your #followfriday recommends, eh?

I’m a BB/Usenet guy and always will be. I don’t want short ‘bon mots’ (most of the time, anyway).
I like lengthier (though not *too* “lengthier” – some of the diaries around here can get a little on the long side!) and the more in-depth analysis that a diary or BB posting allows for. I like that you can take time to post something thought-out, and I like that it allows for you time to formulate responses and rebuttals.
Maybe I’m not hip, but I just don’t care for ‘sensory overload’ mediums. I like my bites larger, and more spaced out.

Tidal Power reasonable, finally?
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Friday, May 15th at 3:11PM EST (link)Vivace tidal-generators: Vivace hydro-power These new Tidal waters Electrical Generators are for lower speed forces. Why is this important? Well, the original (and for some reason unimaginative yet what people have been stuck on) Windmill or Propeller shaped/driven generators need higher forces to work yet if the forces are too great they rip-apart. Prop-gen Tidal often turns nice natural Tidal Current Flows into Tidal CHURNS which lands up killing as many fish as the number of KW they put out (yes, exaggeration but being silly to make the point).
This new method may be put into practice off the coast of Detroit (Detroit River, potentially into some of the Lakes also) in order to produce power. This new method is “supposed” to be easier to produce, maintain, more reliable, etc…. but we will see. FINALLY, we may see a reasonably priced (and therefore, viable) option for Tidal Power.
Yes, Tidal forces are generally more reliable than WIND force power generation.

Caleb Howe (Diary) Friday, May 15th at 3:33PM EST (link)Captain Ed is one of your favorite bloggers. Yes, I’m speaking for you. If you are on the right and online I have little doubt of the truth of this.
Well his Twitter feed is just as indispensable as HotAir.com is. He’s funny, he keeps you in the know, and he “gets” twitter.
Likewise, the other HotAir pundit, AllahPundit. Allah is a prolific tweeter, with a huge following, and for good reason.
And lastly, you can’t go wrong with MichelleMalkin. I’d say her feed is sassy but she might not care for that. It’s a must though.
The Hot Air tweeps, simply, are made of awesome. And I’m not saying that just because Ed lets me talk Star Trek on his show.

But then again, I didn’t even allow my husband to get me a cell phone until Dec. of ’06, and that was only because I have two young grandkids and two elderly parents that I help take care of. And now I shall lumber off to join the other dinosaurs who are waiting for that asteroid to hit.
The reason they can text so fast is that spelling and grammar

I do not get the whole concept
peg_c (Diary) Friday, May 15th at 8:53PM EST (link)Who has time for all this? I sure as heck don’t. Tweets from Twits are not what I need, I can’t even stand calls and texts. Maybe because at work I am IM’d to death.
I just don’t get it…don’t people have lives?

Terrorism Report and SCOTUS
Ezekiel (Diary) Saturday, May 16th at 12:21AM EST (link)Jay Sekulow is reporting that yesterday, the Dept. of Homeland Security officially pulled the “terrorist” report and that Janet Napolitano is distancing herself from the report.
At the same time, Napolitano is mentioned as being in the top six Supreme Court nominees B. Hussein Obama is considering.
Coincidence?
Napolitano has ZERO chance of getting confirmed. The GOP would die on that hill. But it would be savvy politics to nominate Napolitano, see her shot down in flames and then nominate a perceived “moderate” in comparison to Napolitano. In this scenario, a liberal like Sotomayor gets to look measured and sober and gets confirmed much easier than if he had nominated her first.

I am in Williams Arizona going to the Grand Canyon tomorrow any suggestion on what not to miss?
DONTREADONME (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 1:55AM EST (link)Ok, I have one day to see the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and I do not know anyone who has been there. I am looking for what are the not to miss things in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon so I do not miss out before returning to Las Vegas for a conference on Monday. Any help would be much appreciated.
There's a really big, deep ditch there.
mbecker908 (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 2:20AM EST (link)Don’t miss it and don’t fall in. Sorry about the side trip to Vegas. Don’t buy any real estate.
Actually, if you only have one day, just do the “tourist” stuff. It’s obvious. And it’s also awesome. Infinitely better in person that in pictures. You might want to opt for a plane ride or a helicopter trip under the rim. Best part, it drives the Econuts crazy, they’ve been trying to ban them for years.
lol!
DONTREADONME (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 2:35AM EST (link)that was very funny. My wife saw your comment before I did and was cracking up, then I read it and laughed. Thanks for the suggestions, I think my wife and I are going to do the helicopter trip tomorrow but we were not sure when we drove by the helicopter tour facility when we drove by. Now I think we may just go and do that. BTW, we flew into Vegas and stayed two nights with only one full day. Vegas was quite disappointing, I had more fun in Disney World. Going to the small arms confernce in Vegas on Monday for my last day so I will be doing some work then, and I am out, hopefully not to disgusted from all the prostitute advertisements handed to me by the peddlers on the sidewalks.
