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

I was thinking that <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://twitter.com/thehipdotcom">http://twitter.com/thehipdotcom</a><!-- m --> would give me a setlist update but it didn't. Maybe I misunderstand the twitter concept or maybe I misunderstood MAv and shouldn't expect a twitter update until later.

Confused a bit here. Confusedcratch:

I think you understood correctly. I suspect MAv ran into technical trouble posting from inside the music hall, or found himself too busy to make the updates.

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...

Good cool! :thumb: I really love Twitter, if you follow the right people it's really interesting. But as someone said earlier, each to their own.

I'm following the Hip now, natch. 8)

That's weird. How were you updating it, via txt/sms? BigA was tweeting the highlights - apparently Escape was played. 8)

I don't know....

Back in my day it was much more of a challenge to follow your favorite star....

'Is their bin able to take my weight?'
'How steamed up is the bathroom window?'
'Is that restraining order from Katy Sagal still valid?'

Ahhh, the old days...

You lost me there D. That is like me telling you something about the trunk of my car.

Bin is the big trashcan that sits outside your house.
Tall enough to stand on to look into someones bathroom... if you wanted to....

What did you use to post it? If you used SMS maybe there was some sort of carrier problem. Depending on your device (iPhone, Blackberry, etc), you can usually find some sort of native Twitter client that posts directly rather than using SMS. There should be zero delay so it's pretty weird that your updates are only coming through now.

I just checked and it looks like you posted using TXT which I'm pretty sure is SMS, so I'd write it off as some sort of wireless carrier problem.

You can also login to the website at m.twitter.com from most devices with a browser and post that way as well.

Just my $0.02,

Anthony
