  • @bosskhouston @bosskhouston TGIF :) I’m about to enjoy #rrtheatre. #
  • @smartbitches “her neither hole”????? LMAO…I kept wondering why you all were saying that instead of nether! LOL LOL LOL #rrtheatre #
  • Maybe they wanted a good laugh? :) @bamgalace I’ve been told people have bought books they saw in RRTheatre. No bad publicity? #
  • Yeah, are you going to finish it tonight? RT @SonomaLass: @jane_l What happened to #RRTheatre? Was it just THAT bad? #
  • LOL RT @FunnyJoker: My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch. #
  • AMEN RT @AriaaJaeger I urge you to remember as your talking on that cell There are souls who nearby who hear you, you needn’t have to yell #
  • Twitter tip for the day. When you #ff or reply to someone, the @ MUST immediately precede name. ie @judel NOT @ judel. See the difference? #
  • Second twitter tip: A space MUST go between list of twitter users. ie @judel @judel NOT @judel@judel Twitter won’t recognize it w/o space! #
  • @bosskhouston You’re not the only one doing it! LMAO! ;-) #
  • #rrtheatre, the laughs, meeting people, networking @bosskhouston Tweeting is cool. What do you like to tweet? #
  • I always RT good ones @AriaaJaeger Thank you beautiful Tweeps for the RT love this am! @ChariceManiacs @Donnette @soulboykirk @bosskhouston #
  • Testing out my new twitterkeys: ✔ Wow, these make twitter even more fun! ☃ Too bad they’re so tiny. ☺ #
  • @AriaaJaeger Thanks…I’m blushing! ;-) #
  • Third twitter tip: Though 3rd party programs will recognize @judel@judel as two replies, twitter WILL NOT. It only recognizes the first one! #
  • I’ll give an example of 3rd twitter tip. @judel@jimsissy. Twitter should only recognize my own reply.Second one should be ignored. jimsissy? #
  • Hmm…interesting. Both replies are ignored since there is no space. Neither shows up as an @ reply: @judel@jimsissy Space is mandatory!! #
  • @jimsissy It actually showed up in your replies window? #
  • @jimsissy Ah, twhirl handles them differently. Even tweetdeck doesn’t show them as @ replies. Good to know. :) #
  • 4th twitter tip: (thanks to @jimsissy) Though Twhirl allows @ replies without a space, neither twitter nor tweetdeck does! Use Spaces!!! #
  • LOL Nothing stops addictions! :) @TeresaMedeiros Thought paying cash for mocha fraps instead of Starbuck’s giftcard would help me cut back. #
  • LOL Maybe I need one of those? ;-) @jimsissy HA! I knew I followed you for a reason **sips her Starbucks Doubleshot vanilla. #
  • Two bodies found from that missing Paris plane. :( http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/brazil_plane #

  • “There is a character based on you in that book as well. They call him Satan!” @TeresaMedeiros #SLIW That’s just one of the first LOL lines! #
  • Oh right! I have seen it at Cosco! Even bought the iced brand once. @jimsissy But it’s starbucks brand! #
  • @jane_l what time will #rrtheatre start? #

  • LOOKOUT! She’s got a gun in her hand!!! RUN!! @bridgemama NEVER EVER try to get something from the fridge with a hot glue gun in one hand #
  • @bridgemama bwahahaha ;-) …no, seriously though, good luck getting that stuff off! #
  • Daily A-Z: K is for kiwi. I’m not much for tropical fruit, but I’ll eat kiwi. Tt has an exotic flavor and look, but the texture is familiar. #

Jude’s Fiction Blurbs for 6/5/09 – 6/6/09
    Jun 6th, 2009
  • He looked over his shoulder and caught her stare. His lips softened in a smile as his gaze traveled her shapely curves. She took the #jrf #
  • bag from him and busied herself with checking inside, though she didn’t really look. Her mind stayed on the sexy man in front of her. #jrf #
  • “Can I ride in front?” She braced herself for his response, which didn’t come. Viv slowly looked up to meet his unreadable expression. #jrf #
  • “That’s not really safe,” he finally said. She shrugged. “Guess I’m feeling a bit reckless.” Though she trembled with fear. Leo sighed. #jrf #
  • “Where do u live, Viv?” He looked thoughtful after she told him. “Sure, why not. Hop on.” Not expecting it, her eyes widened. “I, uh…” #jrf #
  • She stammered, unable to speak. A side of Leo’s mouth moved up as he held out a hand. “Come on, don’t be scared.” Viv shook her head. #jrf #
  • “I’m not scared.” To prove her point, she walked over to the cycle and mounted it. In an instant Leo was nestled behind her. Viv sighed. #jrf #
  • His arms slid across her ribcage to grip the handlebars. She shivered in the forced embrace, closing her eyes with a deeper sigh. #jrf #
  • Lifting himself to start the cycle, his crotch slid down her back as he reseated. Viv, happy he couldn’t see her face, licked her lips. #jrf #
  • As the cycle jerked forward, she dug her fingers into his thighs and closed her eyes. Viv laughed and screamed at the same time. #jrf #

Follow Friday tips at twitter and RT basics
    Jun 6th, 2009

I’ve become quite addicted to Twitter.com during the last month. I’ve acquired more friends and followers, so I see a bunch more peoples’ updates. There is something called Follow Friday that most users do every Friday. What is it, you ask? It’s a way of telling your followers who they should follow. You post #followfriday and then a bunch of names of people you like on twitter. Where it gets sticky is how I see a bunch of these done wrong. It can get a bit confusing depending on what program you use, since there are a bunch of 3rd party programs that work with twitter (ie twhirl and tweedeck being only two of many). Each of them have their own rules and ways of doing things, but the main way you post should always keep twitter itself in mind, and they are a bit pickier than those 3rd party programs. For instance I discovered today that twhirl doesn’t care how or where you put a reply in the message, but twitter is very picky about them. The safest best to do a follow Friday update is the following:

#followfriday @judel @jiction @this @that

That will work with ALL platforms and everyone involved will see it in their @replies and everyone will be able to click on name and visit their page. Following are incorrect ways I’ve seen the posts made and should be avoided.

#followfriday @ judel @ jiction @ this @ that <==notice spaces between @ and names – BAD
#followfriday @judel@jiction@this@that <==notice no spaces between each new @name – also BAD

The first wrong example does not register at all for anyone, since the space between the @ sign and the username negates it altogether. The second wrong example prevents twitter from recognizing it as anything other than a long string of characters, even though some 3rd party programs will show it as @replies. Remember, twitter must recognize it!!

Though I cannot verify the validity of twitter endorsements, I’ve been told that #ff is an invalid form of #followfriday. I have used the #ff because it’s shorter, as have many other users, but I do try to mostly use the more popular #followfriday.

Another thing I’ve noticed is when someone incorrectly reposts someone’s tweet (in other words RT). If you see an update you like and want your followers to see it as well, you do a RT. Basically that means copy/pasting that person’s message and typing an RT in front of it. But be careful not to put the RT directly in front of their @name or twitter won’t recognize it and that person won’t know you retweeted their message. For instance:

@judel thinks Hugh Jackman is hot as Wolverine.

If Sally Sue wanted to retweet that, she would put:

RT @judel thinks Hugh Jackman is hot as Wolverine.

She would NOT do the following:

RT@judel thinks Hugh Jackman is hot as Wolverine.

There MUST always be a space before and after any @name you put in a twitter post in order for twitter to recognize that user!!
