I have no clue about social media. I used to have a TBP Facebook page and I deleted it. I hate Google and Facebook and will have nothing to do with them. I don’t know anything about Twitter, but Avalon recently started an account. She suggested that we create a Burning Platform twitter account and she would tweet whatever articles I think should be tweeted.
When she tried to open it under my email address it seems someone already had an account under my email address for spam, which was suspended by Twitter. So we had to create a new email address and ultimately opened the brand new Burning Platform twitter account. How exciting.
You can follow the Burning Platform here (there is a follow me button on the sidebar):

We thought the monkey was perfect. I have no idea how many TBPers use Twitter. But if you do, start following it today. I’m already up to 3 followers so far – including Avalon. Zero Hedge has 312,000 followers, so I’m not far behind. The first 100 followers get to spend the day helping bb make Fed Ex deliveries.
If this helps get our message out to a few more people who wouldn’t normally read this stuff, I guess it is worth a try.
I hear some people are addicted to Twitter.
” I’m already up to 3 followers so far – including Avalon. Zero Hedge has 312,000 followers, so I’m not far behind.”
I don’t know how you (and some others) do it – your line above is grrrrrrrrrrreat. My mid just doesn’t work that way; wish it would.
Also, who has time for FB or Twit. I’d rather put my head in a bees nest.
You know where the twitter is, right?

Two things to know:
1 Social media is spy media.
2 If a software product is free it generally isn’t their real product, you are.
There are a few exceptions to rule 2, open source stuff is usually exempt from it along with a very few others.
POWER TO THE TWEEPLE!
I’m an IT guy so I get more than enough tech stuff from my work duties. Not into any of the social media, I-crap, twitter, faceplant, etc. My cell phone isn’t smart but I did get a smart TV last year that I occasionally watch YouTube and Netflix documentaries with.
But anywho good luck with the twitter stuff and if it helps widen the TBP nation, great!
Twatter? Wasat.
Don’t do any social media, because I don’t want any of my old high school and college girlfriends to find me. Don’t need the temptation.
But I know a lot of Tweeple/Sheeple who would get “sheared” if they ever chose to comment here. Kind of like taking a 3 year old to a Saw movie. In other words, it could be traumatizing for some?
Maybe a warning sign should be posted on the TBP home page? Something like: “This is a free speech zone. Comment at your own risk. Beware of shit-trowing monkeys’
Google is evil and so is Fbook.
Twitter? What’s that ?
Great move jim. This sucker might become real valuable. Build it. Twitter certainly can help. Jim quinn, media mogul. I like it. I just read in the new yorker TMZ is worth 400 million dollars. Ariana huffington made a fortune, too. I might even sign up.
600% increase in followers since this post. Zero Hedge is quivering as I reach 18 followers.
Good luck Admin ! I don’t Twitter but I support you in the effort to best ZH.
I have an account when I want to vent my spleen
@Hope_ZeroKelvin
I have 573 followers.
Hope
You now have 574 followers.
I followed you as well.
It must be said that the term “tweet” has some, ahem, interesting definitions, as per the urbandictionary.com
1. A post on Twitter
2. To post a writing on Twitter
3. A weak chirping sound (such as that of a small bird)
4. To make a weak chirping sound
5. To suck your own cock
1. & 2. Sara – “Lol that fat kid is eating cotton candy on a paddle boat”
Jessica- “OMG!!!! I’m going to go on twitter and tweet a tweet so all my friends can join in on the laughter
3. & 4. Eric – “Do you hear that tweet?”
Brett – “Yeah that bird is tweeting?
5. Luther – “Fuck man I’m mad horny, I can’t get any pussy and I broke both my arms so I can’t even wack off. Oh how I wish I had the ability to tweet…”
So I don’t know if we should get too “excited” about “tweeting”, heh heh.
Uranus Simian thats a “Taint” as in taint the choklat starfish and taint the honey pot.
As for twits. No use for it or snapchat, farcebook, linkedin and all that.
Any bets on how long it takes for TBP on Twitter to get “shadow banned?”
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/02/16/exclusive-twitter-shadowbanning-is-real-say-inside-sources/
Rumours that Twitter has begun ‘shadowbanning’ politically inconvenient users have been confirmed by a source inside the company, who spoke exclusively to Breitbart Tech. His claim was corroborated by a senior editor at a major publisher.
@thinker: How would we know? That shadowbanning thingey will apply to all the followers of TBP.
It is the internet version of :

The lib progs cannot stand another point of view, so, instead of opening their minds, they just shut the opposing point of view up.
Intolerant bigots.
Maybe if you follow Kanye, I’m sure his followers will appreciate TBP’s inclusive atmosphere.
Hey, I’m feeling a lot richer since I found out I have $53 Million more than him.

Admin bested zerohedge years ago.
Twitter just announced a 1984 panel chaired by some wench who made up some false accusations about something somewhere, they have started banning accounts that “spread hate.” So perfect, timing admin. Once you get enough followers to be noticed and post so much as a Trump meme they will squash this account like they have already done to others. I give it a month.
I have one follower on twitter and it’s a shit throwing monkey named burningplat. Oh well I don’t really care. Yesterday I was half thinking about canceling it after I found out my twits were going to be policed by none other than the great SJW stalward Anita Sarkeesian.

I wonder how long it will be before one of the STM’s here trigger this fine crusader for truth and justice.
Not a bad looking women though. Nice lips but those ear rings could be problematic.
Rob , a crazy looking bitch with painted on eyebrows and you think” not bad looking?” Geez, in my most drunken stupor and from 100 ft across the bar, my alarm bells would be signaling don’t even think about it …DANGER DANGER DANGER

After 4 beers & 2 shots, she would look like Cindy Crawford and I’d definitely hit that.
With my fist.
An immutable law of women that I’ve found to be true over the years: the bigger the hoops, the bigger the whore.
Dont worry flash I was doing my best to be sarcastic. That women is beyond my contempt. She is a con artist and good for nothing. It’s no wonder she is a icon for 3rd wave Dworkin Fembots.
@flash: OMG. How pathetic to live in a world where EVERYTHING is a fault of OTHER people and you feel compelled to be Gladys Kravitz on Steroids and get in everybody’s business.
I think the psychological term for this is PROJECTION.
She needs a STAT psych team eval and NOT to be appointed the CENSOR of twitter, but there ya’ go, liberal lunacy (and hypocrisy) on parade.
I only use a flip phone.
I do this for several reasons. It is so amusing to watch everyone around me extolling the virtues of the “smartphone” and that I need to have one. To smile and flip open my Star Trek communication device is worth the price of admission.
You will never see my face buried in my phone. To much to see in the world around us.
