I love how it's called the stupid tax and my high school friends, most of whom went to Ivies/are smarter & more successful (not hard) than I am, spent the afternoon discussing on Gmail which of us was going to win.

Oh Jarred Cosart conversing with the 701 Level people, I love Twitter.

how many peeps do you follow?
i ask because it seems to be a lot.

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 20:59:58

161

Political people, Phillies/Giants/Georgetown/Liverpool/Devils beat writers, Philly blog folk/people from here, a few friends

i follow 232 which i never would have thought imaginable when i was at 50 or whatever

it's become a very real compulsion

Actually, twitter recommended I follow "jersey_hoya" just the other day. I had a bit of a chuckle. I follow 127 people. I agree with Barry, when I was following like 40-60 people, I thought anything over 100 was ridiculous, but you get used to it.

I did that lottery simulator thing on 1040 iterations 10 times and the most I won was $10.

I have 31 tweets, the most recent of which was from three weeks ago asking Floppy if True Lies was on TV after he tweeted about it.

My compulsion to communicate with people online is limited to message boards. Twitter is mostly for news gathering and watching ridiculous conversations like the one that's been going on between the 701 Level and Cosart all evening.

I have ~200 tweets, most are directed at coworkers. One guy I work with averages 150 tweets a day just while on the job(yes, we did calculate that)...

That's cuz we emptied out the system for Oswalt and then didn't trade him away

I have over 1200 tweets, and I have absolutely no idea how or why.

The only explanation I can come up with is that I post most of my sports stuff on there to avoid being that guy on Facebook.

@hugetinymistake

i post crap that pops up in my head. i mostly like reading funny stuff while watching the sixers or phils, or comedy tweets. it's also easier to chat w/ my little sister and a friend teaching english in south korea. my little sis has 35k tweets, and her friends have more

by **Barry Jive** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 22:57:21

I have a ton of tweets, and there's really no reason for people to follow me unless they know me. But thanks to RTs and stuff people from all over the country that I'll never meet and who have no connection with me have started following and we sometimes have back-and-forths. It's pretty cool to me.

So a lot of my tweets are @ messages, which I'm fine with. A lot are re-tweets of awesome/hilarious stuff. But I'm prone to streaks, like last week when I got chorched and had like 60 tweets in two hours or something absurd.

Oh, and by "a ton" I mean like 5k, not 35k. I don't understand those people.

I'm up to seventeen twits. I might hit 20 before Twitter is replaced by mental telepathy.

Our group at the office had 13 $5 tickets. We get to split $11

numbers?

by **jerseyhoya** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 00:37:40

15 47 4 25 8 mega is 42

per source for all good news, MetsRefugees

Also per gees, no winner tonight. Don't know if that's actually true, if so I saw a rumor that the next one will go up to $480 million. If that's the case, I'm glad I didn't win tonight so I can win that bigger amount.

Apparently one would have won $150 playing the lost numbers
