- Going to attempt to connect with some of my fellow ProBlogger readers today via the Social Media Love-In. #
- @Imeson Nice to meet you! #
- There is a whole PA social media underground I’m now discovering. #
- @asquillace I might have to now
Everyone wants to know what I mean and unfortunately, I only have 140 characters isn’t going to cut it. # - @yoshua @CallmeSB There’s no secret key Just people I’m coming across for the first time, it’s cool. I’ll write about it later. #
- Any of you Social Media Love-In folks feeling a little overwhelmed today by requests? #
- @MattShandera About time, right? LinkedIn is starting to grow on me. #
- Ordering lunch from China Wok. I’d prefer Ho Wah but I don’t think they’ll come over here. #
- @MattShandera It’s a slippery slope, though - the more social they get the closer I come to writing on your LinkedIn Superwall. #
- @the4400guidenut Hey, nice to see you too! #
- @asquillace @mattshandera was there Where were you! It was a pretty good turnout, good time, we got our picture taken for MODE (haha) #
- All we need to do now is revive the River Bull. #
- @asquillace @femaleprodigy http://is.gd/11DQ and http://is.gd/11DS
# - @gotwalt How’s the weather? #
- Anyone interested in a Central PA social media “Love-In”? See this as an example: http://is.gd/ZS3. Thoughts? #
- @asquillace Awesome! #
- @NikitaScene Right back atcha #
- Does anyone have any experience with TWiki? We’re having some issues here.
# - @hollyrhoffman I hate old office culture. I hate office politics. I hate monotonous jobs that don’t ask me to think, just do mindless work. #
- @SCMProfessor I also use that plugin - that and “One Click Install”. Both are incredible. #

- New rule: any girl I date has to know what Twitter and/or FriendFeed are. This rule should keep me out of trouble for awhile. #
- “Twitter Girls: What Are Those?” #
- I am so not a morning person. #
- Here’s a depressing stat. I’ve started tracking visitors to the Ritter website - so far, 71% use IE7 and 29% use IE6. Firefox = nada. #
- @pixelfader They decided it would be cheaper to make me do it I’m by no means a web designer, but it looks way better than what’s there #
- Another stat: 48% of the visitors are using 1024×768 resolution. I wish there was just one standard resolution. #
- Google “hate the new facebook”. There’s a source of traffic I didn’t expect. #
- I would love to take some kind of poll to see how many insurance agents would find a mobile site (for Blackberry or iPhone) to be useful. #
- 70% of those visiting my personal site (shawnfarner.com) are using Firefox. 67% of those visiting my company use IE7. All about audience. #
- @Dani_PA @SaraBozich @jessroman Ho Wah’s owners are the fam of a friend I went to high school with. I’ll pass on the kudos to him #
- BLOGGED: Introducing the VIPs http://tinyurl.com/64v4tx #
- Why hasn’t Twitter even LINKED to the search formerly known as Summize? I have to TYPE IN search.twitter.com to search Twitter? wtf. #
- Going to play some vball a little later. #
- Central PAers.. wtf is this? http://modestories.com/ #
- @jerseymike @pixelfader @20seven Search Google, there are like four different MODE sites. Two seem functional. Why point to an empty one? #

- Where are you now? I’m trying to get by with never knowing at all. #
- Don’t forget about the blue sky, the sunrise and all the space between. It’s amazing how a girl like you could affect a guy like me. #
- I’m a big proponent of “Don’t give Heath Ledger an Oscar just because he’s dead.” But you know what? I honestly believe he deserves it now. #
- Grr Facebook is down for me. #
- I reaaallllly like this song I’m writing now, but wow, I always rhyme some really weird words. #
- @rorowe That would be great in the off-chance that anything is ever done with any of those lyrics LOL. I hold out hope but who really knows. #
- Nooooooo not Monday.. #
- There’ll be times when the planets and porn stars align and you won’t know who to believe in. Well, that’s a good time to be leavin’. #
- They run the boardwalks and the beach, this fishbowl life is all they need. It’s everything I needed, too - until I heard the news.. #
- @jerseymike cover your ass #
- I’m coming home to the lights and buzz. #

- And today was a day just like any other. #
- @mattshandera @mattyfo http://tinyurl.com/6oz4dh #
- @andreacecil Sushi AND coffee delivery would be incredble. If a business like that existed, I would be broke. #
- Going to Philadelphia today after I get out of here at 1. If the train isn’t sold out. #
- @sarabozich In what way do you mean? Do you want to know each time someone subscribes or just a number of how many you have? #
- BLOGGED: FriendFeed FTW http://tinyurl.com/5w4mns #
- @corvida Who cares, I’m all for it It’s much easier and more fun to be friendly and have a common bond with people than to not. #
- We’re stronger than before the strain had broken us. But there is fight in us, I know. #
- @mattyfo I think Matty Fo would look really good on a resume. #
- On the 4:30 train to Philly. #
- Mt. Joy #
- Parkesburg #
- Coatesville #

- Dress down Monday, dress down today and dress down tomorrow. Why don’t we just eliminate the dress code? #
- I need some Snapple. #
- BLOGGED: The correct way to use Twitter http://tinyurl.com/5rselj #
- @asquillace Nice job! #
- @igorthetroll @czarphanguye Thanks! That post went up yesterday, I guess Twitterfeed is a little behind. #
- On the phone with HP support. I hate this woman. #
- Is HP on Twitter? Hello? #
- Well, I didn’t make any friends at HP today. #
- A co-worker has a chess board in his office. Played maybe 10 minutes, will finish tomorrow. I think I can win it. #
- @SCMProfessor I’ll have to explain later, it won’t fit into this small space Let’s just say customer service at HP is a con. #
- @KathleenLD Didn’t Twitter used to link those #HBG717 <—? #
- Whoa Twitter! Nice surprise. #
- @corvida Wow that was quick. #
- @corvida They did source you and the snip from your post is in a blockquote. That’s pretty nice publicity
# - Okay, @ev - If you’re going to implement that redesign, please put back the number of updates! #

- @polchic Hey! Thursday, 7-9PM at Appalachian Brewing Company on Cameron St in Harrisburg. Don’t have to blog about Harrisburg, just blog! #
- I’m freakin beat. Volleyball really takes it out of you. #
- @bydanielvictor Did you have a Xanga? #
- @bydanielvictor I feel like blogging @ shawnfarner.com makes me more tame than I was on Xanga. Some of my rants were pure gold. I miss that. #
- @KathleenLD With Xanga, I had a user name and my profile was “Shawn”. The only people that read it were friends. Way diff with the blog #
- @monaaa Hi Mona! #
- So I’m now being followed by @igorthetroll. Most signs point to this being a bad thing. #
- @lesliecarbone If you’re a conservative, the GOP in it’s current form is a complete joke. #
- Wish I could edit tweets. I’m an English major and way too much of a stickler for spelling, punctuation and the lot. I used the wrong -its- #
- I wonder if Twitter will be super crazy like it was yesterday. #
- @terryjr386 I’m glad people didn’t buy into that “Twitter is dead” crap. If the past few days are any indication, it is very much alive. #
- @asquillace I agree. #
- @TechCrunch Chad Hurley graduated from INDIANA University of Pennsylvania, not the University of Pennsylvania. Believe me, big difference! #
- I need to go through and start nipping some of these people who aren’t following back. Most haven’t been active anyway. #
- @bydanielvictor I feel like this is going to end up on YouTube later. #
- I seriously laughed to tears. Wow. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xeTCB16hKwA #
- But You - http://songwriter.tumblr.com/post/42464925 #
- Dani_PA Here’s someone who knew McCain in his younger days - http://tinyurl.com/5753q4 #
- @ev Too bad there aren’t any official Twitter clients for mobile devices..
# - Me hungryyyyyy.. brains? #
- Almost every single photo caption contest turns into a “how many cheesy, unfunny , cliche lines can you use for a photo caption” contest #
- Time to play some volleyball. I should have ran the mile today! Darn. #

- Why can’t I look at my Facebook profile in the new layout anymore!? #
- @KathleenLD is a liar. Pictures/Transcripts or it didn’t happen. #
- We should push the time of the Tweetup back until they start carding. #
- @KathleenLD requests a change in Tweetup venue: Sesame Place. #
- Wow. Pardon my french, but the people who comment on YouTube are dicks. #
- @floor9 YESSSSS #
- @sarabozich Email? http://www.aweber.com/ is a favorite to many #
- @asquillace zwoof is spam i’m pretty sure #
- @asquillace It’s usually a spammer when they’re following way, way more people than they are being followed by. In this case, 4,407 to 75 #
- @asquillace It seems backwards, but they hope people follow them back without checking them out, the more they add the better the chance #
- I think if i could find and work for a start-up with a community service/charitable mission, that would be awesome. #
- If there were sidewalks everywhere, would you walk more? #
- @erreip @yoshua @mattyfo http://www.plurk.com/user/shawnfarner #
- @loiclemeur is by far the most in-touch CEO I’ve seen. He spent his bday yesterday gathering feedback on how to make Seesmic better. Awesome #
- So Twitter acquired Summize. It happened. #
- What is this TechCult Top 100 list even based on? Name recognition? Achievements? Either way it’s screwed up. http://tinyurl.com/5rrs5m #
- @spotobe I think they grabbed a bunch of well-knowns and random CEO’s of web companies and then drew from a hat. There’s no rhyme or reason #
- My friend has a cute friend that I need to start talking to. I need to figure out how to do it in a non-creepy fashion. #
- I think Sarah Lacy has introduced herself to the new Twitter search. lol #
- @hearsmusic Okay I think I know of a word but I’ll just keep my mouth shut because I know what’s good for me. #
- @femaleprodigy I go to IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) it’s about.. 45min-hour away from Pittsburgh. #
- So who is coming to the Tweetup? #
- Tweetup: Thurs 7/17 (how appropriate. 717 represent!) 7-9pm Appalachian Brewing Co., upstairs @ Abbey Bar Deck. Hopefully it stays nice. #
- @CallmeSB This is actually a combination of Twitter users from Central PA as well as local bloggers but there’s overlap in that most do both #
- @asquillace That is a pretty good idea! This isn’t really my baby but the more people who find out about it, the more entertaining it’ll be #
- @KathleenLD I’m getting that same feeling. This is the most active I can remember it being. Sweet. #
- We have an Upcoming Event for the Tweetup - http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/900382/ #
- @asquillace Don’t thank me! I didn’t really do anything lol #
- @ChooseyBeggar It’s actually a lot of fun. We talk, lol. It isn’t like we all sit there silently and talk to each other through Twitter. #
- MODE Magazine, that still exists? #
- The VP is running a live webinar here. I’m doing tech support for something I’ve used all of five seconds. Fun! #
- @pandora_radio Right back atcha, Lucia #
- @jimkukral *cough* Shawn Farner is a genius. #
- Maybe I’m just a free spirit, but I really don’t care how people interact with me, whether it’s @ replies, FF, AIM, w/e. Why be picky? #
- @KathleenLD That’s because I’m not an expert on arcade games and ball pits. #
- @sarabozich Twitter isn’t meant to be defined. It’s used in a bunch of different ways. As long as you’re happy, what does it matter? #
- @sarabozich sorry I didn’t mean for that to sound snotty or to be directly at you. I meant everyone in general. #
- @CallmeSB don’t worry about it, i’m all for discussion on this stuff. Twitter to me is just a swiss army knife. Many uses #
- Going to the Capital City Mall #
- Volleyball at Adams Ricci park #
- @kditzler come to the tweet-up! #

- Thinking about writing a Facebook note trying to convince people to get on Twitter. #
- I really hope the A-list of blogging is dying. The unchecked egos are ridiculous. We need to put things into perspective. STILL NERDS. #
- Anyone know of a service I can upload my music collection to and play from anywhere? #
- And I think it’s fly when girls stop by for the summer, for the summer. #
- @bydanielvictor I’m so glad someone understood where that was from. #
- It’s so cool to see educators on Twitter & friendfeed and in the blogosphere - they are exposing their students to the web in the classroom. #
- ..and figuring out ways to make all this new technology useful for teaching. It really speaks a lot of their dedication. It’s the summer. #
- Slowly adding Blackberry contacts to my Messenger. It looks not so pathetic now. #
- @loiclemeur No background apps will keep me on a BlackBerry. If Apple eases up, I’ll think about becoming a convert. No bg apps IS a joke. #
- Next year the iPhone 3 will tout multitasking as a feature. You’ll shell out another couple hundred clams for what should be there already. #
- @MauriceReeves Why not an iPod Touch? No monthly bills, keep your old phone, do the same stuff - just with WiFi, not 3G. #
- @jowyang That is a pretty incredible box! #
- Hmm, Top cities for Young Professionals, Pitt and Philly are 12 & 13, respectively. Glad to see Charlotte @ 8. SF of course @ 1. #
- @jerseymike Whoa, I heard talk that it wasn’t going to be happening on Thursday because of kickball. What’s the word? #
- @meeshiefeet How bout it! I’m surprised too. A lot of the east coast ranks higher than you’d think. West coast isn’t all that after all #
- @mattshandera Cost of living sucks out there, I’m torn on whether I want to relocate eventually or stay put. Tough decision to make. #
- @mashable That link actually shows me MY profile in the new format. Thanks! #
- I am becoming QUITE popular with the Six Figure ladies. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they’re stalking me. Give me a call girls #
- As a seasoned veteran of Facebook, can I just say that the new layout SUCKS? #
- @mattyfo SXSW ‘09! I’m thinking I might hit that up. I’ll finally be gradjamated from that there college thinger. #
- Apparently I need to visit Austin ,TX sooner rather than later #
