That's why I hate twitter - because everyone follows everyone so they can send each other direct messages etc, even if you don't care about the other person's updates.

BTW, I've never used Tweeter before. In order to tweet someone you have to post an update that begins with "@name_of_user", right?
But how do you post an update? I can't find the button.

@diego_pmc - Sure tweet us as many jokes as you want. We like a good laugh here in Nlife towers. To tweet us just reply to one of tweets (hover over it to see the reply icon).
@Wiiloveit - for someone who hates Twitter you sure are a prolific user!

I just left a couple of REALLY terrible jokes. Good luck! lol
Just a question: Will the 2000 points be given in the form of an e-mailed redeemable code scratched off the back of a card? Or be presented in the form of 2000 points worth of gifted stuff?

@chunky_droid - We might email a code or gift games of your choosing. The winner will get whats coming to them one way or another.

I'm sick of all these Twitter competitions that keep popping up all over the Internet. I missed out on a competition for the (yet-to-be-released) Zune HD because I needed to join the site hosting the contest and Twitter. No way I'm joining both that site and Twitter for that and this competition isn't going to change my mind. Can't we have a good, old-fashioned e-mail competition?

Seriously dude don't you know anything, Twitter's like y'know the latest thing, its all hip n cool n the kids love it. Well, at least until the next hip cool internet thing comes along.
I'll just follow you on NintendoLife if that's ok NintendoLife.

@Machu
. By the way, I agree with Twighlight Crow.
I thought it was for the US govt. so they could do something during Obama's speeches, for CNN to get information about Iran, and for people to stalk other people without being thought badly by the person they are stalking ("please come follow me strangers!"). I guess Im clueless
55. SmaMan
21 Jun 2009, 21:46 BST
Twitter is just the excuse so that CNN doesn't have to actually go out and report things anymore. They just let you do it while they get paid.
Anyhoo, my Twitter name is the same name I use everywhere else*: SmaMan! I'll add you guys in a second...

If you're using Twitter in a browser, just type @nintendolife in the box at the top and write your message, then click send. Easy!
Personally I use a program called twhirl, which works nicely. There's different ways of using Twitter but it's worth it!

No you don't have to register and yes you can email the joke to the staff. You just won't win the points.
