An app for smartphones by the twitter company. Let's you record 6 seconds video clips and post them on twitter.

IAG just get a pre paid phone account. For the amount of use you give it it's not worth $120. Depending what's available in your area you can cut it down a lot. I pay $25/month for unlimited txt/calls nationwide on a smartphone.
 
I do not see myself doing Twitter. I had next-to-no interest in Twitter based on general impressions, and then CB was here actively campaigning for it and talking about specifics - stuff available there - which he obviously considered some top twitter selling points -----> I came away less interested than when I started.

There was not a lot of room to be less interested but we got there.

How do you only pay $25 monthly for a smartphone? I must be missing something. Never heard of such.
 
Have your own device. Ask just for sms/minutes. Never buy data from cell company, never get a free phone with conditions. Majority of people have no need to always be connected and pretty much all public places have free wife where ever you go. Cell data bandwidth is so over priced in the US it's more expensive than gold. Not even I, with servers to look after, feel the need to be always connected.

So if I want to use my current Iphone, I should only get the voice and text ..kind of defeats purpose of having an iphone. Plus I guess I wouldn't be able to get my music at the gym ? (they don't have wifi) I guess I wonder how much I can save if I stay with status quo but maybe just change carriers. All this phone shit confuses me. I looked at the map for virgin mobile that Plommer posted and I am clueless as to what that all means. I guess all I can do is call around since all this sms/data bandwith etc talk is Greek to me.
 
I bought my phone $50. I'm with the same company for 10 years with the same plan. I added data a few years back when I got the smart phone. The trick is to keep adding services to your original cheap plan than switching to another company and get spanked with outrageous rates.

This echo's my feelings over the course of the last 18 months.

Twitter is REALLY great if you have to hear major news 27 seconds before everyone else hears major news.

Twitter is a sometimes-fun-non-essential app for smartphones. :dunno:

It is also really great if you care what celebs are thinking.

CB, in making a case for it, posted a pic of the inside of a guitar that I guess he got on Twitter. :dunno:

Then he posted a list of stuff which was really just stale old internet stuff - handy household tips as I recall - which I guess someone was breaking into 140 character blocks and tweeting out one at a time. It was quite odd (to me) the stuff CB thought put Twitter in a favorable light.

The only thing I recall ever seeing about Twitter that made me think, hmm, that might have been interesting, was its role in Arab Spring. Dramatic historic stuff unfolding in real time before your eyes. It wasn't just news being reported a few seconds faster than CNN or whatever - it was an active player.

But whatever.
