Marsh Overflow http://marshalus.net Because sometimes 140 characters just isn't enough posterous.com Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:45:00 -0800 Status update on version 2.0 http://marshalus.net/status-update-on-version-20 http://marshalus.net/status-update-on-version-20

It seems that we're not quite ready to ship the production version of Stan 2.0, our developer has decided that another round of internal beta testing (build 41) is required to work out some last minute bugs and make sure that it's feature complete before release. Also, our engineer is working to make sure that we have enough bandwidth necessary for the download to finish without errors, but due to the size of this version, it may take several hours to complete. We appreciate your patience.

For as much time as I spent on Twitter, admittedly, I have never done a very good job of managing followers or really gaining a following. I've had an account since Jan 1 of 2008, and initially skyrocketed in followers, but seemed to have reached a glass ceiling over the last couple of years that keeps me at about 800-900 followers.

I've never felt like I needed more followers for any other reason than to increase my engagement, and I do very little to seek out more. But lately I've been trying to do a better job of expanding my Twitterverse. In going through I've been adding more and more people I thought have experience relevant to my interest, but in the process noticed more about who I don't want to follow than who I do.

So here are my five simple rules for getting me to follow you on Twitter.

  1. Change your avatar to something that is representative of you, like, your face. If you follow me and you just have the default egg, I don't care if you're the resurrected body of Steve Jobs and want to DM me a job offer, I won't follow you back.
  2. Have something interesting to say in your biography, or at least have one. Likewise, if you mention the term SEO, or that you're an expert in social media in your bio, I will virtually kick you in the nuts.
  3. Make sure that your last 5 tweets consist of something other than Foursquare checkins (which should only be tweeted when you're somewhere interesting, not just out to lunch) or Instagram pictures of your dog. Don't get me wrong, I post pictures of my dog too, it's just not necessary to do it all the time.
  4. Post on a consistent basis. If the last time you contributed to Twitter was over a week ago, it better have been worth it.
  5. Don't try and sell me a book you wrote or encourage me to follow you for life coaching. I'm not impressed.

A UNC fan, a KU fan, and a Duke fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves their team the most. The Duke fan insists that he is the most loyal. ''This is for BlueDevils!'' he yells, and jumps off the mountain. Not to be outdone, the KU fan is next to profess his love for his team. He yells,"This is for the JayHawks!" and pushes the Tarheel fan off the mountain.

In order to shore up GOP support for a deal to raise the debt ceiling, Senate Democrats are exploring ways of giving the proposed "super Congress" even greater super powers, according to multiple news reports and congressional aides with knowledge of the plan.

Under the new proposal, if the new legislative body, made up of six Democrats and six Republicans from both chambers, doesn't come up with a bill that cuts at least $1.5 trillion by Thanksgiving, entitlement programs will automatically be slashed.

Under the reported framework, legislation the new congressional committee writes would be fast-tracked through Congress and could not be filibustered or amended.

via huffingtonpost.com

So now we'll have a Super Congress to decide how best to hold the world economy hostage in the future? It's so painfully obvious how ineffective and useless our now regular Congress can be -- both parties. What happens when Super Congress locks up, do they form Mega Congress and have one democrat and one republican fight to the death, and the winner gets to decide how much they screw over the poor and middle class?
