    it's funny because as more and more people become acclimated to the digital world, i am becoming increasingly less so. i never got twitter. i dont see the need for an iphone. zuckerburg's '1984 world', as you called it, scares me more each day, and i am on the edge of being done with that. the only thing that keeps me in any of it is the potential for marketing my work if i ever get around to that. and the only thing keeping me on the HAMB is the community. i still think at the root of it is the brotherhood that started it.

    i know why you are doing it. and as a business decision i am sure it's the right one. but for me as an individual, i'm really starting to see the spooky side of it all.

    Hey now....even Buddy Holly wouldn't have tweeted. I don't think twitter and Hot Rods belong together.

    Ryan,

    I have an extra Droid phone laying around if you are interested. It's an older G1 (TMobile) but if you want to use it for testing, shoot me a PM and I'll send it out to you.

    I recently asked my wife if she had ever "twittered".

    She turned red and slapped me. :D :D :D

    No it's useless. You want latest news in real time? Look at page one,at the newest posts.

    Why would a traditional site want to be cutting edge with this new crap anyway? What's next? Can we be friends on Facebook?
     
  8. Dumbest Re-Tweet ever. Only if you follow me back! :D
    No really I need some more people looking at my dumb tweets.

    Ummm... Don't look now, but The Jalopy Journal has literally been on the cutting edge of technology since the day we launched.... at least, relative to the rest of the industry.

    Every day you login into TJJ/HAMB, you are logging on to some serious technology. In fact, I've got more in servers/hardware than all of my hot rods combined - I have to in order to support your traffic and your posts.

    Sad part? We need more hardware... and we will soon be doing yet another major hardware upgrade.
     
  14. Wow, I didn't realize that it cost that much to keep a place like this going. I have a new found respect for the crap you have to go through to keep it going. The power bill alone has to cost a fortune every month huh?

  16. I love Twitter. I follow The Kardashians, Paris Hilton and The Hamb!............wow.

    I clicked on the link to see what it was all about and my computer froze, I guess it's trying to tell me something. Twitter sounds stupid anyway.

    Ryan, I can almost see you squirming in your seat as you think to yourself exactly how to type this one out!

    I'll take your word for it. No Twitter for this cat!

    “No Twitter for this cat!”


    I agree with all of these quotes from this thread. My first thought when I opened it was: “Fuck Twitter!” But then, maybe I’m just “old.” I mistrust all of the “sharing," "caring," and snooping into my private life sites. (My life ain’t that interesting anyway.)

    All of that said, I’ve appreciated everything you’ve done since I first signed onto your site in 1998. You're post isn't “dumb;” maybe just “more progressive.” Being in tune with the happenings in the world today, I suspicion you younger fellas are a lot more hip than us grandpa’s will ever be. That’s okay. I'm diggin' “old,” today.

    Carry on.

    Hey man,
    Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
    Time will tell, but so far your record sure seems to show you know what you are doing.
    Cheers.........

  28. So I guess I would need a cell phone Huh? Naw, I like things as they are. Guess I don't need something to look at every 5 seconds of the day. Carry on tweet people.

    I hear the twitter word used alot, but have not yet found a reason as to why do people use it..
     
  30. Thanks for the heads-up...following as of an hour ago...

    Say what you want about the usefulness of Twitter but just tonight I won me a pair of Neon Garage Passes for any Indycar race next year from Randy Bernard by answering a trivia question on Twitter. 2012 Indy 500 garage hear I come.:cool:
