I'm in the beta group, strange since I hardly use it. The strange avatar problem should be minimized because there is an "retweet" icon in front of the tweet, and at the bottom of it it will say who retweeted it. The loss of the ability to add commentary would seem to be a downside. #twitter

Am I the only one that still hasn't seen the RT button show up? Someone said it was next to the reply button that one sees when he/she scrolls over a tweet in his/her feed, but I've not come across it. #twitter

Well, as you all know, I'm a raging bitch. And as you may not know, the total number of tweets I've made seems to be going DOWN rather than up lately. I'd hate to be the intern assigned to "cleaning up the raincoaster stream". Augean stables, anyone? #twitter

Let's test it out. All one needs to do is:

1. Make a new Twitter account (or use an already-established one),

2. make sure it's public -- so that its tweets will show up on search.twitter.com -- and then send out several tweets,

3. make sure that the tweets have variety: normal, trivial ones; @replies to non-famous people; nice @replies to famous people; mean @replies to famous people (to both some of the same people that some of the nice @replies were sent to and new ones); etc.,

4. conduct a ton of different searches on search.twitter.com and track the results: search immediately after sending tweets, a couple of hours after, a day after, etc. and then see which ones a) never showed up in the search, b) showed up but then disappeared, and c) showed up and stayed,

5. see what the results tell you about the question you're trying to answer.

I'd be happy to test it out if you'd like me to do so. Let me know. #twitter

@narnio: You have a point -- I'm on it.

I think it'd be hilarious if I did it with either @dinalohan or @kiera_knightley. The problem, though, is that Dina technically doesn't really know how to @reply to people and Keira is too much of a snob to really bother. #twitter

@narnio: I'll probably create a new one and not "reveal" the identity until I'm done testing it (who knows, Ev Williams could read Gawker), but I'm tempted to just use @helen_thomas. #twitter

Well, but if Twitter drops the ball, who's going to protect me from Mickey Kaus then? Huh? The Hipster Grifter?

Although on further reflection, I could probably get behind that plan.

If they want to churn the Suggested Users List, which they should, they should just automatically include everyone the elite who are already on the list recommend on #FollowFriday. #twitter

Barry Diller spends more in sex toys per annum than Twitter Inc makes in a year.
And gods bless him for that. #evanwilliams

The sequence of events behind the Twitter-Bing deal isn't working in an expected order. Twitter users are already (re)tweeting news about Twitter signing a deal with Bing. Of course, they are in a panic. "I don't want my tweets appearing in search results!"

The internet: making things fun to watch! #twitter

Man am I the only one who gets mega LOL out of them being on CNN every minute, everyday despite them having earnings on par with a K-mart in Nebraska? #evanwilliams

This seems a lot like what most people do, except that they're getting an "interim" house. To say that they "are selling one house, buying a second and building a third, all at the same time" seems like an exaggerated indictment. #evanwilliams
