Perhaps Twitter is the wave of the future. Maybe Twitter is the correct way to interact with the show. I think the talent knows better than us, right?
Do you think I should be following @202friends to get the swag that used to be readily available to us? Have we misjudged this whole fad?
I am well aware that we have proud Tweeters, as well as closet Tweeters. Who are we to judge? I say we should perhaps re look, and reevaluate. What do you guys think?

Oh Snap! I have already 3X more than my 140 allotment.

I can't tell you the last time I Tweeted, probably a few months ago, I've been a member here for damn near a decade, Twitter's got a lot of catching up to do.

There is a way to add twitter feeds to vBulletin,

Ask for rf.net exclusive contests,

Continue the long-standing trend of starting ichiban-threads(to),

Direct ronfez.net or another URL to The Message Board directly,

Change-up the rf.net skin (not blue on blue?),

more calls in,

more visits in-studio by new school rf.net members,

more show-related threads(from),

have the twitted pics to a seperate album,

remind some of the hosts that individuals only represent their own thoughts,

And you could try to add Quick Reply.

If you want to read some of the dumbest shit in the world search for @ replies to OpieRadio (http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40opieradio)or 202Friends (http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40202Friends)

There isn't a person in the world worth following on twitter in my mind, ESPECIALLY some of the attention starved contest whores we have in this community.

This is my problem, I'm not sure how to use it properly.

I'll send a tweet, and I'll see it pop up... but if I send a tweet to someone, I have no idea if they've seen it, unless I put their name in (exactly) search and see it on the tweet page, or whatever it is called. I prefer the facebook way, whereas you can see the whole conversation. And I have no idea if anyone has tweeted me, unless I hit that @furtherman link. Why not have it show up when you log in? It just seems very disjointed.

You hit reply, which will then show @202friends at the beginning, and then type your response.

I think it adds an element to the show, but end of the day 13,000 people follow it, so it is not like it is some major thing.

If you use a program like TweetDeck on you computer or a Twitter client on your phone you can see people who respond to you that you don't' follow. Using twitter's web interface is pointless.

With some of these desktop and phone clients you don't have to worry about typing in someones name correctly it will either auto fill or let you choose from a list.
