I made a second Twitter account for the purposes of weaning a friend of mine off Facebook (it's not that interesting a story) and it was kind of inconvenient actually -- "Twitter," I concluded then, "is not set up to accomodate multiple accounts."
Has that changed with new Twitter, or is it still one email address = one account?
Yeah, New Twitter is no easier in that respect. I needed to give them a second e-mail address, which I wasn't expecting; I ended up giving it the Yahoo account my brother and I only use to send files back and forth.
I mean, I understand. Twitter WANTS to represent YOU like Facebook does, that's what they're striving for. The thing is, though, Twitter is such a potentially interesting medium for writing (like that super-super-short-story guy Andrew follows, or to a lesser extent the Shit My Dad Says dude). I'm personally not very interested in Twitter as a social networking tool, but I've been thinking of fun/interesting things you could DO with the format.
Not sure how you get people to follow you for something like this, though. A couple of retweets from John Hodgman and I'd be set, but how to attract his attention???
I think Twitter misjudges that one a bit, just as I think they misjudge the way following/unfollowing ought to be done. It's just a wee bit un-thought-through, not very much, but a little.
Wyatt Earp, the legendary lawman of the Old West, has found himself in a future he has come to understand but will never truly belong to, a knight from a distant era with a strict code of honor and a clearly defined sense of right and wrong.
Doc Holliday, Earp's old friend and fellow gunslinger, was cloned in 2999. Because of a DNA instability, however, only his head survives, suspended in a fluid-filled jar.
Reunited in a distant century, the two rekindle their friendship and use their Wild West sensibilities to survive in a science-fiction universe, dispensing justice and evading the mysterious parties responsible for Holliday's resurrection.
The Adventures of Wyatt Earp in 2999 is a self-published comic created by Josh Lynch and Justin Zyduck, two friends seeking a publisher for this book.
In the sequential art storytelling medium, the comics are created by two separate yet equally important groups: the artist (Josh) and the writer (Justin). These are their stories.

Hm. It's less funny on New Twitter than it is on Old Twitter. It doesn't say "Name", "Location", etc.
For extremely small values of "funny," that is.
Okay, that made me laugh out loud for real.
If I were on Twitter I would totally follow that.
Why aren't you on Twitter, o early-adopting one?

I may well follow this!
Also, I owe you an email, Justin!
