I’m twitterpated…

twitter-page Yes – I’ll admit to being twitterpated.

The definition of the word is something like: 1) to be completely enamored with someone/something. That explains it. Patty has had that effect on me since we were about 12 years old.

Now I’ve gotten caught up with twitter.com, and I’ve added the site to my affections. Patty isn’t sure what to think about all this. She has never really had competition before…

I know – It wasn’t but a couple months back that I told all of you that I had no time for Facebook or twitter. Well. things have changed… I’ve decided I’d make time. As is Facebook, twitter is a cool app, and one that I can see I’ll use a lot.

You can follow me at Lmeitzler at http://twitter.com. However, Twitter is having growing pains, and if you just search on Lmeitzler you may not currently find me listed, so my advice is to click on the “Follow” button in the Twitter Widget found on my right-hand sidebar.

  1. Just wanted to let you know that Twitter was infected with a worm this past weekend. Apparently their techs have not yet been able to kill it, though they have identified the bored 17 year old boy who created it. Here are some of the details.

    If you think your own profile is infected, Lynne Pope has some instructions on how to clean it:

    Clear your browser cache and delete all cookies;
    Login to Twitter;
    Change your password;
    Delete any tweets made on your account that contain the Mikeyy or Mickeyy name;
    Look at all of your settings fields – name, URL, etc and if you find any script in these fields, delete completely and re-enter your information;
    Log out and do not login to twitter.com again until Twitter announces that this script has been taken care of.
