The next blog, boldly going wherever it wants.

Hey everyone,

It's Desiree Doucette here again with my next blog. I had intended to make a blog about myself as in things I have done, people I have met and so on, but I got into this test. I was using Uber Twitter and got on the computer to blog logging into the website. Twitter vs Uber and the test began.

It started where I finally got to see clearer avatars of the people I was tweeting with. Some of those tiny ones on my phone via Uber were so odd looking, but if you know me well enough, you know I don't discriminate. I'll tell you though, some of those photos in the avatars were like those optical illusion paintings. You think you're seeing one thing and it turns out totally different.

The twit pic feature is used differently here. In Uber you get to see the photo and comment right away. I should know as I used my Uber to check out how my photos looked on the site. It turned some of my photos to the side.

On Twitter you leave the page, go to Twitpic and have to log in again over there to leave a comment, but you can view the photo. You don't see it in the webstream.

So the comparison went on until finally I realized Uber re-tweets posts much faster and auto refreshed the webstream faster than the actual Twitter web.

No wonder Uber has all those upgrades to my phone.

Posting photos if you're simply using a home computer I guess would be as easy as an upload. I can't seem to find anywhere on the Twitter web stream page that says you can upload to the stream. I finally find it on the Twitpic site where you have to log in again to upload it into the webstream. I never would have thought to go there if @Bensonix hadn't posted photos of his new cute kitten and I clicked the link to look.

I guess if I mention my new tweet friend I should add some others here too that have been helpful and truly wonderful. @joecamel0711 helped me with creating lists for the tweeters too famous to bother following you back. I slowly managed to make lists via his help @joecamel0711 gave me some patient guidance getting me started on my lists. I currently have 86 listed and unfollowed those people to make room for others. I also did a mass un-follow and lost about 300 people who weren't following me back.



My next mention is of @BlondeTXGoddess courtesy of her I learned about Twitter jail and more about what I had to do. While her husband went on a new "Promise to FB" list to wait for me to get room to follow she shouted out to her friends I needed followers. I really needed to get to a computer to mass unfollow, so this was very kind.



I cannot go without mentioning, @bethowen_am who showed me how to make all those neat ☞☛☯symbols and characters to add to your posts to make them look cool. I actually copied and pasted his original and used it as well as RT his post.


Well that is my time for this blog today. I hope that I have reached someone with it somewhere. Helping by this information and giving you all something interesting to read.
