Members LightenUpMcGraw Posted September 22, 2012 Members Share Posted September 22, 2012 Whaddaya saying? That was a fantastic post!! It could go on longer and I would read every word still!!! Thanks! You did a great job at describing many of the skills involved in portrait photography! That's probably one of the areas in which I have the least amount of experience (well, okay, there's war photojournalism.... ), having only done it a few times. Not so easy! Anyway, thanks for that description!!!!!!! Wow reading your reply just gave me the warm fuzzies, many thanks. I edited the post and added a couple of bits here and there just for the heck of it hope you don't mind. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rasputin1963 Posted September 28, 2012 Members Share Posted September 28, 2012 Even when TWITTER first appeared, I atavistically recoiled from that name. "Twitter" suggests the meaningless, high-pitched chirping of birds, and I don't (usually) see my posts as being THAT. And more disagreeable is the suggestion of the word "twit". A "twit"-- with its dismissive short-i sound, like pin, dip{censored}, nitwit, bit, n*gger, zit, the 'pits', little, etc.--- is a British euphemism for the more explicit "twat". It basically means a person (often from Britain's upper-classes) who, despite his social privilege, is ultimately ignorant, self-absorbed, self-indulgent, lordly and callous. The only word worse with this symbology might be c**t. Thus the title TWITTER is an example of America's not-infrequent pander to the puer aeturnus at work. So, in short, I never found the word "Twitter" to be cutely collusive or appealingly smirkworthy at all. What's in a name? Plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philbo Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 Actually, facebook can be pretty useful, imo. I got quite a lot of work from that after I set up a FB account. Me too. I only have 80 'likes' on my musician page, but it is quickly surpassing word-of-mouth and driving around trolling for bars as my main source of gigs. It's working for now... But I don't twit. Or tweet. or whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philbo Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 What do AFAIC and BB stand for? My guess: As Far As I'm Concerned and Bulletin Boards (an archiac form of internet, prevalent just before the UseNet became widely available). Yeah, even the UseNet is relatively unknown nowadays.
