gruven 530 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Someone pointed out to tell the idiots, the first black hockey player was a Boston Bruin...As well PK 's brother is in the organization.. Shouldn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Who did Boston draft? Malcolm subban. Nice eh Shouldn't matter. My point is, it's like Michael Jordan's quote about Sterling, something along the lines of 'since the majority of NBA players are black, this is indefensible'. It shouldn't matter if NO players in the NBA were black, Racism is racism. The fact that the bruins drafted black players, or signed the first black player is irrelevant. Acting like a bigoted ******* shouldn't be mitigated by anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 How many people do you follow on twitter? I am at 965 and I am looking to trim it by a lot...The thing with my twitter feed is if I am not on twitter, I am going to miss a lot of your tweets... Facebook is a lot different, I dont miss any of my friends updates...I am going to trim see what happens.. In the time it took me to write this post I got 42 tweets on my feed.

I trim a lot from time to time to keep it manageable. You can also create lists to group the tweets and read those lists to make sure you don't miss stuff from friends for example.

serge 904 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 We had a bbq at our house on the weekend...Our friends have a 16 year old girl and a 15 year old boy... She doesnt use facebook and only uses Twitter and Instagram, and he is only a Twitter guy.. So not a scientific thing, but if you are looking for the future, maybe Facebook is for the older crowd connecting with old friends.. Instagram I never understood, its just facebook without the gibberish..Only pics... Link to post Share on other sites

So not a scientific thing, but if you are looking for the future, maybe Facebook is for the older crowd connecting with old friends.. Instagram I never understood, its just facebook without the gibberish..Only pics... You're definitely right about this. Most kids have a twitter account, though don't really know how to (or care how to) use it. It's mostly narcissistic for them. Like us, most of them just use facebook as a general keep-up and because they know everyone has it, so it's a good general purpose. They mainly care about Instragram, since that's where they exchange pics and where the cool kids are. Well, that and things like Snapchat and other apps probably which I have never heard of because I'm not young. How many people do you follow on twitter?

Facebook is a lot different, I dont miss any of my friends updates...I am going to trim see what happens.. In the time it took me to write this post I got 42 tweets on my feed. I'm at 50-ish, though I have a very low standard for people who post rarely, since it doesn't 'clutter' much. I'd like to include some more baseball beat writers and a few 'general' writers in other sports - probably 75ish would be my max, on the high side. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm at 818 following. I trim only when I see tweets from people I'm sick of. I think I could handle 1,000 or so. Obv you miss some tweets, but that's not that important to me. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hmm maybe it's in the settings? All the time I see people who post like "last RT: ..." and I have to go into their profile to see what they're talking about because they RTed someone I follow, and I don't know which tweet they're talking about.

Zach, perhaps you should stop looking at the settings to get the answer. You are always the one preaching about bike lanes. Maybe you should go ride your bike on bike lane and it will solve everything, especially this RT problem. Or perhaps destroying the 401 will help fix this RT problem.

iBeaver 409 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I follow 102. I think Stephen King is the real celebrity I follow. I generally hate celebrity tweets.
