Point taken, but actually I do care who follows me on Twitter. I was gut-responding to Phinny's statement, "how did she find me?"

And I have TweetDeck.

You can also protect your updates on Twitter. Folks have to ask if they want to follow you. It eliminates a lot of the bots and dreck.

Agreed. There were two emails today from the Twitter team re: RP. I assume it was a duplication, but I nuked them without looking. I'm pretty sure I didn't opt in for anything so that's kinda not on.

Re: twitter, I opened an account for the heck of it but didn't post anything. Still, I got an email informing me that a friend from RP was "following me on Twitter"... How did she get that info? I guess now I'll have to go and craft witty 140-character twoots about what I thought Drach had for lunch. (haha)

Yeah, not sure how this worked, but I wasn't thrilled with this either.  But trusting B&R, I'm not gonna bother getting up in arms unless I get more crap from twitter.
BTW, there is an opt out link at the bottom of that email. You shouldn't have to opt out of anything you didn't initiate, but there it is.

Well, it came to me via my email address.  It says it came from the "Twitter Team" and not from Bill or Rebecca.  That suggests to me that my email addy has been given to Twitter by RP.  That does not make me happy.  I'd like some clarification.

Thanks, I'll pass on that.

If you don't care what the email's about then mark it as SPAM. That's what I do.

See the "Bug Reports" thread.  If you're a bit smarter than I am, recent discussion there might tell you what to do with this message. 

If I had to guess, I'd just delete it. . . .

I got the following e-mail and don't know if it's SPAM or not:

Radio Paradise wants to keep up with you on Twitter

About Twitter

Twitter is a unique approach to communication and networking based on the simple concept of status. What are you doing? What are your friends doing—right now? With Twitter, you may answer this question over SMS or the Web and the responses are shared between contacts.

This message was sent by a Twitter user who entered your email address. If you'd prefer not to receive emails when other people invite you to Twitter, click here:

I don't know what Twitter is (I've heard about it) and I don't care what it is either.

Should I delete it or mark it as SPAM?

There is a Twitter application on Facebook. When you install it, you can set it to update your FB status when Twitter updates.

Go to Account Settings (left side) and then scroll to the bottom and it lets you update automatically to a lot of places, including FB.

OK...so I got my BrightKite updates to post to Twitter...how do I get them to post to Facebook?

Welcome to BrightKite! All the cool kids are using it.

Post a tweet from any method but include the letters "rp" in it, and it makes it to the Brightkite wall link that posted below.

In the URL of the web address, you can replace the "rp" at the end with anything that strikes your fancy, like "chocolate" and see the tweets that include that word.

K, I'm on BrightKite...no idea what to do with it yet

And how do I get on that RP wall?
