If the posts are tweets are those posting twits?

One more example of a company with no need to be on the Internet. Keep the bandwidth clear for porn, please!

@Vin,

It’s less that they’re not all that bad of a company (not the evil, crippling crap-machine people make it out to be), but this EULA is just ridiculous. It’s obvious they’re just trying to not be sued, but they don’t seem to realize that not everyone will actually use their site to follow their feed. It’s basically a waste of words, space, and lawyers.

That said, it’s probably there to cover their ass if someone tries to sue them for any reason involving their feed. There are people who would try, so they’re probably just betting on it.

This is non sequitur, but with the text in front of it, the Neatorama space guy looks vaguely like a Cyberman from ‘Doctor Who’. Thought everyone should know.

Vin: They don’t have quality. They also don’t have anything that is not bottom of the false bottom of the barrel, in which mucus and mold have been festering and growing for aeons, shit.

I find no fault with Wal*Mart. It is a one stop store saving many trips to other stores looking for the same purchase. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it.

Having to ‘accept an agreement’ to view their twitter is so completely stupid. Can they just come out and say that? Doesn’t that contradict twitter’s terms of use? (which is, if you sign up and twitter things, the content you twitter falls under whatever twitter’s rules for it is).

@Screen Sleuth: what will Walmart say in a twitter feed? “Look, a bunch of cheap crap to get you into the store, but mostly stuff that costs the same as at similar stores!”

It’s 23,124 characters including the spaces. That’s what, 165 Tweets?

Whatever word processing program you used to give you the word count probably gives you a character count too.

What the heck will WM say on a Twitter feed? “Look, more goods at cheap prices!”

Pretty sure everyone who uses Twitter fails…
