I got twitterhit
which is kind of creepy. I mean... there's someonething watching everything that I type and suggests other people to follow me because I used a particular word in one of my tweets. Stalkery at its finest.
Also, completely fucked up. If I were to use TwitterHIT to look for people who have tweeted (Tweetted? Tweettered? Twat.. no, that's another thing) the word "baby seals" (because I want to follow people who love adorable things) I could end up following a bunch of people who used "baby seals" in a sentence like "leaving for Alaska! Finally my dream of clubbing baby seals is coming true!". Not to mention that your home page would become a freaking tweeting mess of people you haven't even "spoken" to once. More to the point, why would you (and I quote) "hope that the ones I mass tweetterhit will follow me".
I don't get this need to be "followed". It reminds of the "friends counter" on MySpace. Higher the number of followers, the realer you are? WTF?
Rant aside, Twitter is good for our slashy minds!![[info] - community](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
patd_slash's mods are toying with the idea of a Twitter Prompt Fest. Go there and let them know if you're interested!
I finished my second piece for BBB yesterday morning \o/ I think I like this one as much as the first one, if not more. Maybe it's because I did it the traditional way, or maybe because I used coloured inks for the first time and it turned out that I'm ok using them. I'm so proud of it that I really want to say 'fuck the rules' and give you a sneak peek... BUT I'M A GOOD GIRL AND I CAN'T BREAK THE RULES! Now I really can't wait for BBB to start! Two more weeks! I. Can't. Wait.
I spent yesterday scanning some drawings. While I was waiting for the scanner to load I started doodling. You know when you want to draw, but you don't know what to draw? Milly told me that if I needed inspiration, I could draw something from my favourite fics, so I thought about the fics that I really enjoyed, which brought me to think about fics that should be written because they'd be totally adorable and... well, remember that silly Jhonny Fedora!AU not-fic? Yeah...
Now I really want to write it, because
Jon needs to find a way out of the shop. Ryan's been gone for three days and yeah, Greta seemed like a nice hat wearer, but Jon misses Ryan. He misses Ryan and his remarks about the people who passed the window, his opinions about Pete's brand of romancing, the sinuos way he moved his ribbons when he was fluffling the rosettes in the back, where the peak tapered out.
As if Ryan being gone wasn't tragic enough, Patrick decided that... something - Jon is not going to call him a hat - with tassels and fringes and eagle feathers and "Brightside" watermarked in silver on the side would be a good replacement for Ryan (which, no. Ryan was a tasteful little bluebonnet, with a black satin puggaree that matched the two long ribbons, shiny, red, plastic berries tucked among the soft flowery ornaments and a penchant for using uncommon words like puggaree).
"I can't believe the hideous things that fat guy is selling in here! I can't let people see me associating with your lot."
Jon needs to find a way out of the shop. But in order to think of a good escape plan, he needs to find a way to get Brandon to shut the hell up.
^ This? Must disappear!

Oo! I would like the DW code, been wanting to get a journal over there for so long! my email is gospincirclesforme@gmail.com
no subject
I sent you the code :)
no subject
i just looked it up... freaky stalker-like tools!
no subject
or maybe I'm the creepy one, I dont know XD
LJ is already too much, I dont think I'll be able to handle DW now.
;)
no subject
I was wondering if you had a Dw account! I was looking at my reading page over there and all of a sudden I was "Wait. Where's Silver (which is how I call you in my head)?". Now I know why I couldn't find you :D
no subject
and then dun dun dun big bang theory fans added me in approximately 10 seconds after that. wow, too much free time? these people need to get a life xD
i havent got the uh (definitely not time, because I have a lot of time in my hand rn) patience to check dw out, and assumed it's the same as lj~ point out something interesting about it to me plz? :D
people irl call me uteh? but if it's more convenient for you to call me silver, i'm alright with it ;)
no subject
Dw is pretty much the same as Lj. I haven't found many differences yet, apart from the fact that since it's still in its infancy, communities are few and fairly generic. I'm using it more as a back up for my lj and for some other things (mainly, I set up a community there to use in lew of a web site because the tattoo thing is gettin a bit more attention and I needed a place to store and show my works that was easy to navigate for my customers and easier for me to update). Other than that, since it's still bound to invitecodes, there's a marked lack of trolling and flaming, which makes for a nice environment for fandom to grow. And yes, the paid account costs more than on Lj, but it's also true that they give you more icon space (75 instead of 35), Anyway, since I'm crap at explaining, this page here (http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dreamwidth_changes_from_LJ) is quite informative :)
no subject
but I notice we can log in using open id. i dont need codes then? xD i'm too lazy to read all of that~
no subject
If you sign up with the OpenID option, you'll be able to read the journals and leave comments, but not post your own entries.

I don't get the twitterhit thing either. In some cases I can at least see the connection, like I get followed by a lot of cooking/restaurant twitters if I talk about my own cooking, but sometimes it seems to be completely and utterly random. Mostly I just ignore it, unless it's obviously spam in which case it gets banned.
no subject
I ignore them too, but it still annoys me. And apparently there's spamming on lj too...
no subject
ma sai che non ho mica capito cos'è stom twitterhit? *shifty eyes* mi illumini? XD
aww il disegno è ADORABILEEEEE <333
no subject
Tenterò di essere breve, concisa e compendiosa (come diceva la mia prof di Italiano). A-ehm...
TwitterHIT è un "servizio" che permette agli utenti di Twitter di incrementare il proprio numero di followers usando un sistema basato sulla ricerca di parole chiave presenti all'interno dei tweets.
In pratica, vai sul sito di TwitterHIT (http://twitterhit.chill.net/), digiti il tuo username, la password e la parola che vuoi cercare, per esempio "trip", clicchi sul pulsante "Make me some friends" (che io trovo estremamente patetico) e TwitterHIT effettua una ricerca all'interno di Twitter individuando tutti i tweet in cui la parola "trip" è stata usata e aggiunge istantaneamente tutti gli utenti che hanno usato quella parola.
C'è un articolo QUI (http://mashable.com/2009/05/16/twitterhit/) che spiega un po' la situazione, mentre su questo Tech blog (http://www.sciencetext.com/twithit-twitthit-twitterhit.html) si parla del pericolo che questo tipo di "awesome tools" possono comportare. Nei commenti trovi anche la risposta del creatore di TwitterHIT (Chris Denman) alle accuse.
Ti ho illuminato?
Il disegno sarà pure adorabile, ma quei cappelli continuano a guardarmi con uno stupido sorrisetto come a dire "lo sappiamo che non puoi resistere... scrivi la storia... fai altri schizzi..." Dovranno passare sul mio cadavere!
