Retweeting @visualfuture: Me at the end of last nights Andromeda: What!! There’s *another* night of this crap!! (But still have to watch… #
@martinbowling picked up High Fidelity on dvd for $8 the other day - woot! building the John Cusack library #TTwT #

@sallymander I bought it - musta seen it like a dozen times now #TTwT #
@martinbowling got Say Anything in the $8 bin the other day too #TTwT #
@sallymander does that mean I can’t twitter until I buy you a coke? #TTwT #
@sallymander @visualfuture’s vodka is as good as bought #TTwT #
#TTwT hit the api limit in 23 minutes? I don’t think so. c’mon @twitter #

wow - half of Seattle booked out early today - train is half empty #TTwT #
any of the #TTwT clan hangin on out there tonight? #
I wonder if there is enough bandwidth on the train to watch hulu…#TTwT #
@martinbowling yeah what’s up with twitter? it’s getting worse by the day - good time for a competitor to enter the market #TTwT #
@martinbowling some of us coffee sippers have real jobs #TTwT #
@martinbowling hulu almost replaces my pc recording in media center #TTwt #
@martinbowling 3G iphone plush hulu would be sweet #TTwT #
@martinbowling it’s much less than 95 mill - the funding just values them at 95 mill I believe #TTwt #
@graywolf nice - trade ya for a seat on the train #TTwt #
@NeOBlog hard to say - can’t really see it from here but based on train riders traffic should be lighter than usual as well #TTwT #
@martinbowling where did you read it? #TTwT #
@martinbowling looks like the funding was $15 million #TTwT #
spinning (can you spin an mp3?) Hawk Nelson on the Zen - rock and roll #TTwT #
@martinbowling Pyramid Brew Pub by Safeco is pretty close by - we’ll hit it up #TTwT #
@graywolf nah - that shift is all you dude got my own at home #TTwT #

@lyndseo how are ya? #TTwT #
at least when I’m streaming @pandora_radio as long as I hear music I know I have a connection and it’s most likely twitter that down … #
@martinbowling I probably shouldn’t say exact numbers but we were extremely pleased #TTwT #
someone remind to quit the the chili dogs for lunch - wow - it’s a high price to pay later in the day #TTwT #
@briancarter yep I’m VP of Search Strategies at Visible You have nothing to apologize for - forget about it #TTwT #

@twhirl and @twitter web interface showing two entirely different streams of tweets - c’mon twitter - get it together #TTwT #
Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we’re going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon. yeah… no shit..#TTwT #
it really is pure genius that @twitter is all borked the week of funding #TTwT #
@KeriMorgret yeah - it’s a mess - shocking #TTwT #
@KeriMorgret I’m only seeing tweets at me and my tweets - nobody else is showing up #TTwT #

@MandaOtto I’ll have to avoid Dallas for awhile it seems hehe #TTwT #

@martinbowling with all the buzz about possible twitter funding I’m sure they’ve been pretty distracted - potential for an 80mill valuation #
@vanessafox were you being compensated for speaking? #
