Let me know I'm curious to what people talk about before actually getting a twitter account?
Update Drew pointed out these most excellent flashers, most I already know by name. I've linked to them and gotten the stats, fascinating to see the size of the community! Ashton Kusher just broke the 1Million follower so we still have a much more exclusive community. It will be fun to see how it grows.
There are a number of Adobe people who actually post good stuff on there including
@ryanstewart 5251/5271
@leebrimelow (corrected) 52/2531
@mesh 130/3311
@pixelbender 558/1106As well as other good flashers in the community
@flashseo 138/554
@gskinner 21/1915

Just to name a few. One of the best examples was the #tweetcoding contest that @gskinner organized…

cheers,
No. I’m not using Twitter for Flash Actionscript. Reading people’s Twitter feed is such a mind-numbingly dull experience, it leaves me wanting to gnaw my own fingers off. That includes the Twitter feeds posted by the previous commenter.
There is one very good side-effect of Twitter for me as a developer. The Flash world is now so super-saturated with Twitter apps that it has literally sucked the creativity out of the market and diverted a sizeable percentage of developers away from competing with apps that people actually do want. Face it, two or three flash twitter apps already own the market. Everyone else’s Twitter apps disappear into a black hole. That means less competition for those who didn’t succumb to yet another super-saturated fad.
Thanks drew! very useful. FYI lee’s is actually leebrimelow (missing e)
Hi Leona!
At the moment it seems very low signal to noise ratio, a few gems though. I need my fingers for programming…
I admit I’m a bit clueless. I did a twitter account for another facet of my businesses and get about 100 friend requests a day, but zero responses. So not really a dialog. If that’s the case following is a very hollow concept. But I suppose myspace/friendster friending is no different.
I am totally rocked about the twitter aps. Everytime I hear someone has tweetdeck and don’t realize it’s Flash I smile.
I totally misunderstood this post. I thought the question was what people were doing w/ the Twitter API and Flash programming. Here’s a post of a Flash app that picks up your latest tweet and puts it in a speech bubble w/ augmented reality thrown in for good measure.
