Twitter Usage amongst Collectors?

Anybody using twitter.com to discuss coins, trades, prices?

lcoopie · July 11, 2009 4:41AM

I don't follow you.

19Lyds · July 11, 2009 4:42AM

Don't cha mean twitter?

And no I don;t tweet on twitter...........

Tyler1924S · July 11, 2009 4:42AM

Think he means Twitter.

advalorem · July 11, 2009 4:45AM

Yes, I meant "Twitter". Sorry about that. I use the TwitterFon application on iPhone, and when you send a message it's called a "tweet".

coinsarefun · July 11, 2009 4:47AM

I don't Tweet, nor have joined Twitter.

But....... I do know a few that are Tweakers and
they are tweaking while posting on this forum

You got a camera on me or what??

Tyler1924S · July 11, 2009 4:50AM

I haven't yet, but there's a lot of it going on at Facebook. Someone from these boards started a group on Facebook. I can't remember what it's called. There are over 500, if you search the word "coins" there.

Tyler1924S · July 11, 2009 4:57AM

Don't know about twitter, but the two larger ones at Facebook are one called "I love Coin collecting!" and another called "U.S. Coin Collectors"

itsnotjustme · July 11, 2009 5:11AM

I don't.

What you doing? Tweet

Looking at my coins. Tweet

Which ones? Tweet

All of them. Tweet

How do they look? Tweet

They look good. Twit

Do they really? Tweet

That's what we have the coin board for!

291fifth · July 11, 2009 5:12AM

No.

LindeDad · July 11, 2009 5:16AM

Eagles don't tweet.

Those collectors that TWEET and TWITTER,

are probably eating too much bird seed.

mozin · July 11, 2009 6:15AM

I don't tweet, and I don't show my face. I leave that to the generations following mine.

halfnut · July 11, 2009 7:25AM

O-kay I will be the first to fess up ---- I have a twitter account I just got it so I'm still learning. I use it to follow my other hobby ( NASCAR).

stinkinlincoln · July 11, 2009 10:26AM

No I dont use twitter at all, for anything.

Just another catchy internets thing I dont need or have a use for.

To be completely honest, I use the internets for posting here and looking at coins. Thats it anymore.

HTubbs · July 11, 2009 10:30AM

I have an account but never use it...I didn't find it useful to my social life.

anablep · July 11, 2009 10:32AM

I use twitter.

But not for coin stuff...

MrOrganic · July 11, 2009 12:01PM

I tweet!

have some L.A.,Ca people follow my tweets. Mainly for bullion prices I encounter at PM/coin shows

RYK · July 12, 2009 3:32AM

I plan to tweet from MNS coin show July 23-25. No show report, just tweets. Follow me at ryk43.

RYK

KentuckyJ · July 12, 2009 3:36AM

> Follow me at ryk43

Wow! Does Mr. Longacre know about this?

Doubt it. He still has his secretary file his posts here...after she types it on a typewriter, and he proofreads it.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 12, 2009 4:01AM

When I get bored, I just drive around and read BillBoards.

That was a stupid joke for dummies.

FullStepJeffs · July 12, 2009 4:16AM

negative...

I've never even seen the site or how it works...

Steve

ricko · July 12, 2009 5:18AM

Joined but found it useless. Just mainly another gossip medium. Plenty of that on AIM etc.... or here on the forum. Cheers, RickO

DwaineO · July 12, 2009 5:46AM

Not a twitter but I am on Facebook and just join a couple of the coin groups.

yellowkid · July 12, 2009 8:38AM

I'm not really sure what it is, and have no intention of finding out, I'm afraid I've reached my tech limits.

MisterBungle · July 12, 2009 8:45AM

Yep, me too.

CarlWohlforth · July 12, 2009 8:53AM

I couldn't find ryk43 on Twitter

When I write an article I Digg it which forwards the link to Twitter which forwards to FaceBook and to one enlightened coin community that takes twitter feeds in the member's area. My websites poll Twitter and list my latest Tweets. Pretty cool huh? 1 post reaches many sites...

KentuckyJ · July 12, 2009 9:47AM

> I couldn't find ryk43 on Twitter

Carl,
Try this. I'm assuming RYK is Ok with posting the link ...

RYK on twitter

WoodenJefferson · July 12, 2009 9:51AM

no tweeting here

CarlWohlforth · July 12, 2009 10:01AM

Thanks KentuckyJ, that works just fine! When I search (find people by name or username) I can't find him.

KentuckyJ · July 17, 2009 8:21AM

OK, I did it. RYK, this is all your fault!

RYK · July 17, 2009 9:22AM

I am the first person to ever mention a Dahlonega $3 on Twitter.

I am the 4,562,135th person to mention Harry Potter.

Live tweets from the St. Louis coin show next week.

Feel free to "RT".

Edit:

Looked what I learned on Twitter: Unique 1870-S Sold by Legend Numismatics in Half Dime Deal http://ff.im/-5mSBz

IGWT · July 17, 2009 10:21AM

I just joined, and I'm "following" (not to be confused with stalking) RYK, but I really have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

Longacre · July 17, 2009 12:18PM

<< I just joined, and I'm "following" (not to be confused with stalking) RYK, but I really have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. >>

Longacre doesn't tweet. However, if the underassistant to his executive secretary tweeted, Longacre might instruct her to send a tweet or two.

KentuckyJ · July 17, 2009 2:34PM

Posted to the currency forum ...

It is a classic of USA iconic images, Cronkite taking off his glasses to report JFK had been pronounced dead, struggling to hold back his personal grief. I was in the 7th grade then. I remember a loser type school bully was on the bus going home that day spouting off how happy he was Kennedy had been killed. I didn't understand how anyone could feel that way.

Now, almost 46 years later, I learn Cronkite has died from a RYK twitter message picked up while inside the Nashville Apple store in the Mall at Green Hills. Strange to reflect on the massive changes in human technology that have occurred since that sad day in November, 1963.

Elcontador · July 17, 2009 4:31PM

Don't use it, period. Don't see the point. If I want to communicate with someone, I'll call or send an e-mail. Am not into the Facebook thing, either. Yes, I'm on there (didn't want to pi** off people I know who wanted me to be their friends on Facebook), but I'm not keen on putting personal info on a public bulletin board.

Boom · July 17, 2009 5:55PM

<< I'm not keen on putting personal info on a public bulletin board. >>

I agree. I've been real hesitant to so much as even check these places out.

coinsarefun · July 24, 2009 5:47AM

Ok, gave into temptation and joined

Coinsarefun is my twitter name

Never.

KentuckyJ · July 24, 2009 6:21AM

> Do tweekers wear sneakers?

You could always tweet them and ask

Thanks about the wallpaper, made it myself

adamlaneus · July 24, 2009 6:24AM

<< Do tweekers wear sneakers? >>

Looks like we need a terminology explanation;

Tweeker:

Twitter:

However, I think Bear is on to something. Something about twitter seems an awful lot like tweeking.
