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.
I think I'm going to start a service called "Bitter" where you get to gripe and moan about everything in your life in 140 characters or less.
@Corbie: i think you've got a winning idea there, lol
@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 went to Twitter once. I couldn't make any sense out of it. XP
OK

Pshaw. I didn't want to make a Twitter account... but I s'pose I'll have to now.
My user name is chunky_droid. But nintendolife added me as soon as I joined... creepy!
Now thinking of joke
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?
Twitter Name is: spacebooger

I have been following nintendo life for a while now.
I hate twitter, so none of this for me.
I'll stick to the old fashion high-speed internet and motion control video game system thank you very much
@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.
BTW please tweet the jokes publically for all to see, not as private messages
I'm MikaelLevin and I've been following NintendoLife for quite a bit
I think e-mailing the code may be better, as you can't gift DSiWare games and someone may want one of them
Also, are we allowed to submit for than one entry?
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?
My twitter name is SyNDracuL.
Expect a joke soon.
@Mik - Feel free to send us as many jokes as you like.
My Twitter name is @mdee14
@Corbie: DO IT.
@Dazza: I don't mind twitter, but I just hate certain things about it, such as the way that most people on twitter (including myself ) just use it to show off their business and sites, and spam others, as well as how people have to follow someone to direct message them, even if they don't want to recieve updates etc. etc. Otherwise, I like it because of its simplicity.
I'm Palinodrome -- I'll try to remember to send something, but it will have to follow the self-imposed wordplay form of my account.
I'm Ben-sensei. http://twitter.com/Ben_sensei
I really wrote that for school. But it's in German.
So I'm from a PAL region, obviously XD
@Wiilovit: Your comment sound like an alternated quote from Ned Flanders in the episode where he gives much his won feMac. TELE-PARABLIZING!

Hello! I'm @originalp on Twitter! I'm in...
Im MiniAl100 on Twitter. No Comment further.
I very rarely use it to write things myself, just seeing what other people say. But since I somehow got added by nintendolife today I might try to think of something funny.

May as well enter. Gets me some fwii points (c wut i did thar?), so I can buy stuff.
Three jokes done already. Expect more.
I think it would be better if we could post our jokes on to this comment thread...That way it's more accessible to the public, but that's just me.
Personally, I agree with BleachFan, although I am fine with the current setup, I'd rather post my 'jokes' here.
My twitter name is ChickenBrutus.
It's a good thing I posted that here, because you never would have figured it out otherwise.
2000 wii points? I can't turn that down! My twitter name is Philip2nd,
like the Spanish king.
I have now been to twitter and I still dont understand it at all. I just cant find sense to it! this contest is too hard, not only do I have to come up with a good joke, but have to figure out how Twitter works, and that has proven to be the ultimate challenge
I will probably never use Twitter again, but it wasn't so hard just this once.
@GabeGreens
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.
I don't 'twit' or whatever it is you kidz call it so I've posted my joke in the religious thread on the general discussion forums (as it's of a religious nature) feel free to check it out and if you want give me those 2000 points I won't stop you!!!
I'm with GabeGreens, I don't understand Twitter at all, and I don't want to make an account there, that service just seems so pointless, It's a shame NL used this method, because I really could use some wiipoints.

I'm BBlackford on Twitter. So far I've tweeted two of my best jokes
@Dazza: Upon using twitter for the last 30 minutes I can't figure out how to message publicly, lol. Any help, anyone?
@Machu
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 . By the way, I agree with Twighlight Crow.
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!

cool thanks Prosody!
They should set themselves up on facebook instead...

y'know, why wasn't there this much complaining about the Starfy competition? if you don't want to follow the rules to enter, don't enter! it's that simple.
TWITTER TRACKER, TWITTER TRACKER, TWITTER TRACKER!!!
Let's look at some sweet tweets that kick APP!!!
You guys make us work too hard for these competitions.
Anyway, my name on Twitter is Todd102030. I had to make an account just for this. The things I do for wii points.
Mine's KirbyDude24.
I Already send out my joke.
I followed your instructions, but my post didn't show up on the Nintendo Life page given by the link in the article. In fact, I hardly see any jokes on there. How do I see the jokes?
(My user name is BulbasaurusRex)
slambert215 on twitter
gotta think of a good joke...
Corbie, there is a forum for that called WTF.com (what the f**k)
Ah I'm too late. Oh well. I wouldn't' have time to do it anyway.
My Twitter name is gajderowhat, just like here. Hopefully you like the jokes!
Do you absolutely have to register on Twitter to submit your entry? Can you simply email the joke to the staff?
No you don't have to register and yes you can email the joke to the staff. You just won't win the points.
Lol. kk, just curious. Looks like I'm out then. All the best to everyone. Looking forward to seeing even more contests.
Ok, I coudnt resist the points. My account name is gabegreens (I bet you didnt see THAT coming )
EDIT: where are the jokes? Aah, Im confused!
Twitter name = Internaltheory
http://twitter.com/KnightNui
Consider the joke sent.
@Prosody: Tweetdeck FTW.
Oh, and in case none of you could work this one out for yourselves, I'm twitter.com/Wiiloveit
Heres me: http://twitter.com/Gh0sTiE5
And now to think of a few jokes...
I am already following.
I can't find other people's jokes either.
For those who can't find the jokes:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40nintendolife
I guess no points for me since I don't tweet and I'm not very funny either.
I think I posted a joke on your Twitter page, not sure!
Username alexlnumber1
Wow, first GoNintendo, now you guys too? Shame on you NintendoLife, shame on you. I expect you on the pedofile list with the rest of Twitter users soon enough. It's a stalker app!!! Why does no one else realize this?
@XCWarrior-Shh, dont tell them they are being stalked. Twitter is a stalker's dream, and if people are too dumb to understand, they dont deserve to know they are being stalker. I only use Twitter solely to make free wii points
my username on Twitter = theblackdragon. blonde jokes ahoy.
