The good news for Twitter is that I keep wanting to go to Twitter to get the latest news on this hacking. They're my go-to source for breaking news.

Yeah, I have no idea how to tell my friends what's going on or find out if they've heard anything without twitter. I've taken to randomly IMing people.

I suggest that you should let them know "Twitter got hacked" via http://identi.ca next time ;-)

BBC. I never go to Twitter.com, I use Tweetie.

That's kind of sad. You can't call people? You can't email them?

"call" people? What do you mean? I thought you could only call methods.

He must mean instantiate. Personally it's one of the best things I've ever done. I recommend creating a subclass and overloading some of the methods though particularly spew() and crap().

You might want to mess with a dummy object first to practising instantiating without producing any person objects.

For me it's the exact opposite. If I use twitter I can assume by default it will be checked less frequently than email, so this would be the slowest way to get my message across, if gets across at all.
