Twitter me this - MAverick - 04-22-2009
http://twitter.com/thehipdotcom
it was bound to happen sooner or later. There isn't a post on it yet and I don't know what we're going to do with it, but it's all set up
Re: Twitter me this - mojo_mattv - 04-22-2009
Can somebody please explain how this twitter stuff works, all I've got is this ancient old Sanyo phone. Does your phone need to be 3G in order to twitter. I'm feeling older every day and I've only just turned 20

Yeah, I don't get the whole twitter craze. Twitter this and tweet that....sounds pretty f'ing lame to tell you the truth. But hey, to each their own.

I call it tweets and twash, twash being a bunch of twits or tweets, as they say. Actually, the person who uses it in a cool way is Ellen Degenres. She tweeted a contest for people to show up with a potted plant at on a certain escalator to get tickets for prince I think and they filmed it and it was really funny. 17 people got a pair of tickets. Now I'm not going to do that. A live setlist broadcast might be nifty maybe. . .

It would be enough to convince me to sign up for that stupid site, that's for sure!

what a boring waste of time twitter is, this is lame ass.
im sure it will just fizz out like the hip club and the livedownloads did
Re: Twitter me this - sullivand - 04-22-2009
:thumb: Live setlists would be a great start, MAv.. But if you can get the guys involved, or even just one of them, it wold be killer.
As for understanding Twitter, you just gotta get on there and try it. I was a total non-believer a few weeks ago, and now I'm about 50-50. If and when the individual band members start making their own postings, I think people here will follow them in droves. Just think...
thehipdotcom Sitting in the dressing room, coming up with tonight's setlist. First reply @thehipdotcom gets their request added -- Gord S.
thehipdotcom Couldn't believe how great tonight's show in St. John's was. Think god we decided long ago to never play Moncton again. -- Gord D.
etc.

Come on MAv; where is the kickass background?
Re: Twitter me this - hipnosis - 04-22-2009
idk...hmmm...should I make a twitter just for this?

Re: Twitter me this - SirMatticus - 04-22-2009
For sure, live set lists would be enough to get me to check out Twitter. To date, I just haven't seen what the big deal is. It's cool to see MAv taking the time to reach out to fans in various ways.

I will post a live set list tonight as best I can at http://www.twitter.com/thehipdotcom
I will also use a hashtag - #TTHSL so that this can be easily search able in the future

Can I get the setlist text updates on my cellphone? I'm thinking not, because I'm with MTS - not Rogers, Telus... etc..
If I can't get that to happen, then I won't be signing up - I'll just follow the online link.
