Hi Felicia, well I started following you after I saw you were following me. I wondered who is this person as I always do and went to their website. I saw the movie recommendation for Dr Horrible, I watched it and thought wow. You have some wonderful talent. I am not generally a fan of musicals, but yours was great and I plan to watch it again, and perhaps again and again. It was that good.

I want to thank you for following me. It is a pleasure to be one of the thousands that sees the great promise in your work.

Hi Felicia,
I dunno what to say but I saw you on twitter which I've joined to look for my run away girl fiend. Now you must be thinking as to why I'm telling you my sob story. I saw something in your face which is highly intuitive and advisory type. Can you suggest me as to how do I retrieve my gal from the guy who grabbed her[A FAT A***) . BTW have you ever tried various variants of Ukranian Borscht soup the recipe of which is on my website.:D)

A crazy comment on your blog lol!

There are a lot of gamers on plurk of people who work in virtual worlds.
Twitter is fun but plurk is in my opinion better.

I have never worried if someone I admire & follow, doesn't follow me in return. Always better to give than recieve, I say...ahem.

Good Twitter post, Felicia. Like the site...haven't been here for awhile, lots of changes!

You are wise beyond your years. Much gratitude. I'm going to ask yet another question, how does one get a picture on their postings on this blog?

p.s. hazards of love.. thoughts? you best have listened to it in its entirety.

Yes I believe you can register at Twitpic and upload/post photos to Twitter that way, or you can link to a Flickr account page which I what I do. Twitpic is very easy though. Hope that helps!

Felicia, thanks for this information. I'm new to Twitter, and I can see I have a lot to learn. Great tips! I'll start using them... as soon as I get my land legs. You covered a lot of stuff.

Since you most definetly are more seasoned on Twitter than I maybe you can answer me a question. Is it possible to post pictures from a browser? I have a friend who is using a sidekick so she isn't able to take advantage of any apps on her phone, but she still wants to post pics. If yes, how? Thank you in advance 8^)

Thanks for the tips, particularly your mention of MrTweet. I'm doing this really lame attempt at viral marketing for the zombie screenplay I'm going to write for Script Frenzy in April. Just some crazy idea I got in those scary half-waking moments right before you drift off to sleep. Could people really care about the day-to-day progress of a screenplay penned by some anonymous writer? I don't know... but I won't find out by not trying.

Hopefully MrTweet will help me find people without becoming one of those annoying spammers that adds others every time they post a keyword. :D

Also follow you on twitter as brttrx.

Keep at it!

Been using twitter for a while now and I'm still amazed how many people are following my inane ramblings.. I have nowhere near the level that the "Celebrities" have, but getting random @ replies actually makes my day. I originally would re-follow everyone that followed me, but I couldn't keep track after a while. I started using TweetDeck recently which helps with just the ones I do follow at least. Still hard to keep track sometimes.

I actually twittered the link to this post. I think it is a great help to those starting out.

Thanks! I've been using Twitter for a while and seem to have a decent mix of real life friends and other folks who share similar interests. Your explanation of some of the Twitter-related tools is very helpful! I now feel as though I can make better use of my Twitter time. :-)

Thanks.

Until today, I thought the Replies tab in TweetDeck was just to consolidate... didn't realize you could see replies from people you're not following. Now I don't feel so dumb for replying to your comments. I thought you couldn't see them.

Thanks for this! Just discovered your web series literally the day I decided to try Twitter to see what all the fuss was about. I guess it was fate. You're hilarious. It's cool to know you're informative, too.

Just curious - embarrassment over reading romance novels...not so embarrassed about being in romance movies. Why is one shameful and the other isn't?

Nice suggestion @daMongolian! LOL!

Re: Finding People to Follow on Twitter

daMongolian — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:30:34 -0000

commenting here cause twitter is lame and won't let @subjects see @'s to them unless they follow the tweeter, if the tweeter has a locked profile, as I do.

@feliciaday suggested feature req: the Kindle equiv of the pc game 'boss button' pull up an innocuous and boring text at the push of a button to hide what you're really reading when peeps wanna check out the kindle....

Hi - off topic but just curious...from Chicago, and was wondering if you ever stopped by here for a Con or some other event, how would one find out about it?

Thank you much,
Ren

Hi Felicia -- I'm a big fan of all of your work. I've just sent an email to the watchtheguild gmail address for press as I have a press-related event opportunity for you. I appreciate you keeping an eye out for it (from Maret Orliss.) Thanks!

This is a great post, with some awesome resources! :D I love Twitter, and TwitterFox is freakin' awesome.

On a side note, I don't know if you have @replies on, or if you get too many of them, or for whatever other reason you might not see that I twittered about it, but I thought you'd find it amusing that I'm studying Dr. Horrible in a 300-level college class these days. :p It's a comic book class (ENG310 "Comic books, graphic novels and narration"), and we watched Dr. Horrible as an example of archetypes, and how they can be presented to us in various (with focus on nontraditional) ways. It amuses me, anyway.

It's great that you've become the go-to person to help people understand Twitter! They should give you some kind of plaque or title as a thanks?

Also, I had no idea about half of this despite being on Twitter for a year or so; it's nice to see there's still mysterious stuff within the Twitterverse that's just waiting for people to find out about. Thanks!

Thanks a lot !!

I signed up to Twitter a few days ago, and you were here as a recomended Twitter user that I decided to follow just because of "Actress, Filmmaker, Gamer, Misanthrope". Then, I wanted to know if I've had already see you somewhere on films or TV shows, so I looked on Imdb and Wikipedia (the answer is yes, Ive already seen you).
I found something out : you're me older, I mean in a good way! (except that I'm not an actress or a filmmaker).
I should stop right now, better for the two of us.
Anyways I just wanted to say ... you're amazing, I'm in loooove with The Guild, you can count me as your french fan :)
