Yes, we know how you feel.  ;)  I used to have problems figuring out Twitter, too, but I've found it an excellent way to find the pulse of an organization.  I admit I'm a bit more of a listener than a contributor and enjoy Twitter feeds from a couple of news wires and newspapers as well as organizations such as NASA. Great way of getting public service announcements, weather alerts, scores, etc.  I don't know how it would work here, but it might be a good way of posting miscellaneous and random thoughts from readers as well as alert us to new content by the editors.

Sorry.  That was way more than 140 characters!

Edit:  wing points out that we do have a Twitter feed @autos_ca. Maybe there would be some way to have an embedded feed so people could see the hottest trending topics in the forums at a glance and link to them.

It's not really a feed.  It is controlled by me (as well as @autoTRADER_ca @RallyNA and @mikeschlee)

Tweeting hot forum topics is a great idea.  I'mma stealing it

Any modern GSM cellphone is imune to the old 160 character limit. Without being tied to a sinking ship.

The best use for twitter that I saw was for a school principal to send out updates for late buses or early closing for storms and other short announcements.

I really don't care what some celebrity :censor: ate for supper, nor do I care what some random aszwipe thinks about a hockey game.
My diesel car self-identifies as an electric vehicle.

So don't subscribe.  On another related note, I cleaned out the cat litter just now.  Lots of chunks.  Think the cat's eating birds again.

My mouth and lips are still fluorescent coral from today's frozen sour cherry ice.  Looking forward to the poops.   :rofl2:

Why do we for every single project, say one thing and do something else, it burns my a$$. I am extremely disappointed.
Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?
