All a twitter and a podcast rec..

My interest in Twitter has been renewed for some not so strange reason *g*

Jared has a Twitter (which has been confirmed).

I therefore had to fire up my Twitter account, brush off the cobwebs and take a look. (did I get a Twitter app for my iPad?! just maybe../o\)

I can only speculate as to Jared's intentions in joining twitter, but maybe given his lifestyle (long work hours away from home in another country), it may be similar to what i like it for - sort of a group IM or SMS. I love that I do get more of a sense of what's going on in the lives of my interstate/OS friends. It acts a texture to our interactions, the inclusion of those in-the-moment joys, frustrations or whatever, that we miss out on in emails etc.

Or, you know, he just wants to torture Misha.

[ash48]

Hee! I really hope it's to torture Misha! I think the interactions between him and whoever he tweets with will be very entertaining.

And yes. I think because personally I have never really been able to "get with it" I can't understand it's value. Same with Facebook. But I know it's a great way to communicate so I appreciate that side of it.

Maybe I just gotta get with it.. ;)

I gotta say that him having a pic of Jensen as his profile pic is FABULOUS!

Oh yes. There's a vid over here that shows that it was Jensen's idea, at 08:40. He tells Jared to take his picture and make it the Twitter avatar and Jared just goes with it! The line between real life and fanfic is blurring...

[ash48]

YAY! Oh man... That's just...*swoons* I can't believe it...

Thanks for the time stamp. I started watching and I get so easily squicked at the con stuff... /o\ Those boys really hold their own though...

But that bit was gorgeous. I noticed a fic was posted about Jared tweeting and Jensen being jealous. I haven't read it yet but.... YES! RL and fanfic crossing over.

(I'd love to know how much fanfic they read..*g*)

[ash48]

Ack! 45 mins... *drives faster* :)

I gotta say I'm not really a chasing kinda fangirl... but I do have this desire to see the boys together on stage. I see all this footage (mostly between the hands over my eyes) and I wonder how awesome it would be to see them live. But then there's all those fans... /o\(which is ridiculously hypocritical because I'm one..) but it puts me off slightly..

Hee! I just checked his tweet again it's totally RPF come to life.

It's melting my brain just slightly...

I don't think that's necessarily hypocritical. The fan base shows a huge variation in base line sanity levels, with a tendency to sanity being inversely proportional to the distance between fan and object of fanish admiration. Depending on where you are on the spectrum, certain aspects of cons can be a bit squick inducing...

[ash48]

Hehe... well put... :D

I seriously have no idea how twitter even works, but I am tempted to figure it out for this. :)

I love that story! One of my favorites.

[ash48]

I actually don't know much about how it works either. I've figured out how to see his tweets and those of people I am following. But yeah... it's all a bit weird to me.

And wow, that story. Not only is it HUGE (my god, how does a writer keep up with all that?!?) but it's so engrossing.

Ack! New big bang soon. That's when I really noticed how little time I have for reading...

Can't wait to see what comes up though.

Somebody posted a link to his twitter account yesterday and I peeked. But I agree, it feels weired and so far not that interesting. But then I'm not actually on twitter and mostly can't see the point of it (unless you're Mischa tweeting during SPN episodes), so colour me biased.

[ash48]

Ah yes... see, I am one who doesn't see the point of it either. But then, I think that with Tumblr and Facebook too. So I figure I'm just not "with it".

That's cool. I get LJ so that's enough for me. <33
