Very good idea !
Only problem is most consumers won't know what Bitcoins are, but once you tell them that they can buy something with them, I think they really will be all over it. But before that happens I think we need a simpler wallet, that doesn't take 30 minutes just to update.

So do people from somethingawful.com come out and just troll random sites that they seem to think are funny? Lol you guys are all getting banned, I hope you know that. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3413928&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=333#post393631440Every single one of you (I know the people involved) has been reported to the moderators, with the link to your joke thread about Bitcoins on your joke site. There is a reason why some people are successful in life, and some people still live in their parents basements dreading ever being born into existence. Seriously take a look in the mirror (whoever is involved) and ask yourself what you have done today to progress your life? It wasn't trolling my thread for a whole day, and Somethingawful isn't making any of you clowns real money either. No matter how much you guys think you're getting under my skin you're not. If anything you are helping us by giving us all of your time and attention, thus keeping this thread at the very top of the forum, and giving TweetForum even more hits... Use your brains gentlemen. I will pray for you all. |

The purpose of the forum is to expand Twitter conversations beyond 140 characters. If you want to post something that's over 140 characters, and get it on Twitter, then Tweet Forum is the best way to do so. You don't have to know how to use Twitter either, just make a forum account and post! Everything you write will automatically be syndicated to anyone who follows the forum or the specific section where you posted in. The reason why there isn't alot of active users is because the forum is only 1 MONTH OLD , yet we already have 2600+ members, and thousands of Twitter followers. I get 500-1000 unique visitors per day, but it's much harder to get people to post than some may think. I programmed the bot to scrape the most relevant news for each section, so that Tweet Forum could spark conversation, and keep all the followers updated on news relevant to each topic they like to talk about... Our Twitter cloud seems to disagree with your assertion that our content is somehow "useless"… http://twitter.com/flippro - My personal twitter account. http://twitter.com/tweetsforum - TweetForum's main account-Syndicates all posts http://twitter.com/tweetforummusic - Tweets new music http://twitter.com/tweetnewsforum - Tweets breaking news from our forum http://twitter.com/tweetforumufo - Tweets breaking U.F.O news and discussion http://twitter.com/tweetforumvideo - Tweets the newest web-videos/movies/and episodes http://twitter.com/tweetforumsport - Tweets the latest in sports news http://twitter.com/tweetforument - Tweets the latest entertainment news http://twitter.com/tweetsalemarket - Tweets the marketplace http://twitter.com/bitcoinforum - Tweets about ##Bitcoin investments http://twitter.com/forumstocks -Tweets breaking stockmarket news and discussion. http://twitter.com/tweetforumforex -Tweets Forex exchange news. http://twitter.com/estateupdates - Tweets Realestate and property listings http://twitter.com/learntwtforum - The latest twitter news http://twitter.com/tweetforumbiz- Tweets new businesses and ideas for entrepreneurs. http://twitter.com/marketingforum7 - Tweets marketing news and discussions http://twitter.com/bloggForum - Tweets fresh blogging jobs for extra cash $ http://twitter.com/tweetforumwah -Tweets real Work at Home jobs that pay. http://twitter.com/tweetforumweb - Tweets web developer news It's very simple, if you have a Twitter account, follow the boards that you like, and if you don't have one, just make a forum account and start posting. No Twitter account is needed to join or get paid in BTC's. |

You own a forum built specifically for trolls to come in and troll each other? LOL It's not a forum, it's a Twitter feed. No trolling, just tweets of TweetForum threads. I was talking about Giraffe boards, " The Pit The place to flame and fight with other posters, the staff, and anyone else who rubs you the wrong way. " "Promoting Ignorance since 2009" Lol, you clowns are not welcome here. |

You own a forum built specifically for trolls to come in and troll each other? LOL No part of his post indicates that there would or could be any trolling on his forums, personally I think his idea is really innovative - it's very meta. Judging by how much time you have spent on my posts you could have already made .25 BTC at Tweet Forum. Waste your time doing something productive, something to help this community, something to push us in a better direction than where we are at now, instead of wasting your time trolling other people’s posts across multiple different websites. Honestly bud, it just makes you look silly. Come up with something original that will help the Bitcoin community prosper, and even I’ll support it. But then again if you were a serious person you wouldn’t even be wasting your time here would you ?  If I copy/paste all my posts from this thread to Tweet Forum, will you give me the .25BTC? Also I already have my original idea, it's an original improvement of your original idea. And it will help the community. I plan on giving 10 free BTC to every new member (after 30 days of membership) for each person to sign up. How are you helping the community? I am putting money into the hands of the average person, I will practically be a hero. And rich, because I'm an expert at selling advertising. Ok, I know you are just trolling about ripping off the TweetForum idea but the 10 free BTC is actually a pretty good idea. A lot of people like to lurk instead of post a lot so you would be offering them an incentive too. They may not generate content, but they are eyeballs for the ads. You could also create a program where you pay people to get other people to sign up, and the recruiters take a share of the payout for anyone the people they recruit recruits. Most people wouldn't go for that since they have no idea if they really will be paid after the 30 days. Tweet Forum 2.0 will have a referral program. |

No thanks, you're pathetic. Watch out for Tweet Forum 2.0, it will crush all your little dreams into bits & pieces. |

We can setup user set rss feeds for each site but that won't come till tweetforum 2.0 . There are simply to many limitations on SMF, which is why we are moving towards our own custom built platform. For now I can make some reddit sections that are close to what you like, and I will make them into tweetboards. Oh, don't worry about it. I was looking for a summer project lately anyways and think I'm just gonna create my own knock-off version of your page, only for medium-traffic tech and gadget sites instead of UFO and Car sites, since I'm not really that into them. I have 2 spare VPSs and and extra dedicated that are running unused right now but are paid at least through next March, so I don't think the project will cost me anything but time + a cheap domain in case I decide to give it up this winter. I also have a spare vBulletin license and wrote half a twitter client before so this shouldn't be too hard. If I'm short on content though, can I scrape some info off of your forums? Some of your feeds are pretty good, so if you don't mind I'll just write a Perl script to grab them off the SMF forums. I've set up a placeholder for the site at http://lljk.info already, so people know the project is coming. I think there Is a site that does exactly what you want already... go to http://twitterfeed.comEDIT: BTW thanks for being such a god damn nerd, and trolling on other forums about my project. Just shows how truly pathetic you really are... http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3413928&pagenumber=330#lastpostGo ahead and waist your time copying me, it only makes you look like the fool in the end of all this. |

This would be much more useful to me if you could integrate RSS into the forums/twitter. I need BBC and Yahoo News updates more than UFO stories.
You can pickup an rss feed from any twitter account, but I went ahead and added the feature for RSS boards for ya. Enjoy Ohh, I see it. I meant I'd like to add more RSS feeds from off-site TO the site, like BBC and Yahoo News I had that before but the problem was they were interlacing too much of the same stories. In the future for TweetForum 2.0 we will have multiple different sources, and all will be perfectly blended to meet our standards. However if you look closely 99% of the articles in the Breaking News section, are Yahoo news articles, and Yahoo news articles automatically take content from all kinds of Publishers and News Organizations. |

Whoa wait, there's more Web2.0 sites than twitter? Which are the other ones? Does 4chan count? If you make a twitter account you will be able to customize only feeds that you want. Remember each reply will be syndicated so be careful which boards you choose to follow. So wait how is this different from any other news source that uses Twitter? Why do I need to have a forums account if I already have a twitter? Nevermind, this is too confusing for me and there are no instructions. Maybe I'll try again in 6-8 months to give you time to work out the bugs The difference is that if you make a post through Yahoo it will not get syndicated to their Twitter cloud. If you make a post at tweet forum it will... |

I like how everyone throws names around but haven't got a reason to back it up... all I hear is spam, spam, spam. Where is this spam? I thought the website was pretty insightful with news(even bitcoin news!!). You are all using the oldest fallacy in the book call and Ad hominem were you attempt to link the truth of a claim to a negative characteristic or belief of the person advocating it. Where is the opionions or facts people? No links? seriously people get a life and make a great idea like this we need more bitcoin money makers then mining rigs. All I'm saying is at least back up your opinions people..... Ad hominem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominemhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallaciesYeah, 'spamming/spammer' isn't a name if that is actually how the auto-posting software he has works. Also, he's basically paying people to post, so he is asking people to spam. "A. Keep new topics limited to 10 threads per day. If you are caught making more than 10 new threads per day, and/or duplicating older threads, you will be disqualified from the program. B. Posts must be at least 3-5 sentences long (1 paragraph). This is to prevent spam and one liners! C. Copy and pasted articles/videos should always include a 1 paragraph opinion " |

Can we please get some moderation on the thread in which the asshole lawyer filed a trademark claim on bitcoin? I agree he's a jerk and I'd like to see him disbarred or disciplined for filing a fraudulent claim, but the "assassination market" posts are too much and should be deleted. The world is watching, and as someone who is investing thousands of dollars in a Bitcoin related-business, I'm very concerned about the image these forums are giving the world.

it would have to be an assassination market, no?
Example:
you bet 50 BTC that im gone for good tommorrow.
Two weeks later and i've not posted since, and i've deleted my account, you SEEM to have won the bet, but unless im dead I can still return.
This is terrible that we are talking about this.  |

If you went to tweetforum you wouldn't look like such a fool for calling it spam..
LOL - only had to read three posts before I crossed this site off my list. Please make sure you are checking all the dates in this thread properly. They were made over a month ago. I am sorry but the guy is wrong for making that inflammatory post towards a site that isn’t even remotely close to a "spam". Maybe I should have made a new topic to introduce this program, but then again I have nothing to hide from this community. Hope you do stop by and try it out for yourself, you will see that I am not as bad as some people may think. And I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of TF! Thank You |
