'Reviewing the Kanji' Twitter users

#1
Hi everyone,

I was just curious how many Reviewing the Kanji twitter users are on the forums. I know I've wanted to tweet about my RtK experiences several times, but I feel like my audience doesn't care about that.

My twitter account: http://twitter.com/bry0000000.

I use twitter or should i say i did use twitter as you can see i havn't updated it in a while, although i do like the idea of keeping notes on progress and see how other people are doing as not everybody can be bothered with a blog so i think I'll start using twitter again for mini progress notes.

Tibul and I are following each other on twitter with the intent of tweeting about our progress on reviews . I think this is a great way to build community, and I encourage anyone who wants to join to sign up for a twitter account (free!) and follow us.

this sounds like a lot of fun. I've never even heard of twitter before now. I think I'll go join...

I've been a member for a while but because of my extreme lack of followers etc, I haven't ever used it. Added tibul and a twitter message, maybe i'll be more active if more people join in.

I'm now following both of you. Hopefully this will be good motivation for us to continue reviewing.

I really love the concept of twitter, but I never could bring myself to sign up, cause nobody would read it!

edit: I went to go sign up, and then realized that I had actually signed up. Never used it though.

All of you should have your twitter interface Japanese -- part of the immersion environment.

I forgot, twitter has an all japanese interface. Lots of japanese people use Twitter.

And I've added everyone on this forum so far I think.

I use it as well, but just to follow different Japanese posters. I have my iGoogle page set up with the BeTwittered plugin so a few pop-up each time I open my browser. I've pulled plenty of decent stuff from there...

The posts on there are crazy hard to read, though... internet slang mostly, I guess (which, obviously, makes complete sense).

Cool. Thanks to igordesu for inviting me. I'm at http://twitter.com/2nihon. Just followed all of you.

A few tips to new Twitter folks:

Keep in mind that one of the aspects of Twitter is community. If you want followers, you need to follow other people and interact with them. Use the @ symbol before the user's name to respond to their posts. For example, if igordesu has just said he's learned kanji #5,992, I can say:

@igordesu Bravo! Good job!

and it may spark a conversation to which others can join. I've made some very good friends through Twitter that way.

You can also send private messages by writing 'd username' before your message. Just double-check to make sure everything is in place before hitting enter, or it will go to everyone!
