New Silicon Graffiti Video: “All You Need Is Tweet!”

March 11, 2009 - 6:19 pm - by Ed Driscoll



After all of the recent political and media bias Silicon Graffiti videos, I wanted to do something in a lighter vein, so here’s (hopefully) a fun overview of Twitter. No doubt, hard care power Tweeters (yes, it’s supposed to sound silly) will chide me for leaving out whatever this week’s killer app of the century is, but I’ve tried to make something enjoyable for both newcomers and veteran users of Twitter.

From a Twittering Barack Obama to Hugh Hewitt and all points in between, we go deep inside your computer and try to make sense of Twitter.

    I can’t seem to get the video to play on Apple computer. Oh well, I will keep trying.

    Hi David,

    You might need to pause the video a bit and let it buffer. I try to render these at a rate that’s sharper than the typical YouTube fair, but that can slow down the transfer rate a bit.

    The Angry White Dude joined Twitter a few months ago and now has almost 500 followers. It’s a great way to keep in touch with those with whom you want to keep in touch. I also put a hot link at the bottom of all AWD posts that allows readers to follow me on Twitter. It’s pretty cool and I have met some great conservative folks!

    The video helped me to better understand the twitter phenomenon. I might soon give it a try.
