You want to easy follow E3? Now you have a way! Use Twitter!

I found this twitter site by actually hoping that someone had made something for E3 there and they had. Twitter is actually quite easy to use. You make an account and you can follow what other people do. I'm new to twitter, so I'm not the best to explain. Hopefully someone else can do that for me.

But anyways, if you want to follow E3 through Twitter you just make an account. Then press this link, or copy it. www.twitter.com/e32008. Then you click follow on that page.

If you want to have an easier way to follow it, you can download twhirl. It's a twitter client, it follows the people you follow on twitter for you and you get notifications when someone you follow does something else or at this once, some new news from E3!

I hope this helps out some fellow gamers, and happy E3!

I was skeptical of how it was going to work out when we decided on creating that Twitter feed but it turned out great. I had a lot of my friends IMing me commenting on the speed and fullness of the Twitter updates right to the desktop via that Twhirl program. There are other clients like Twitterific too.

But it worked out really well and thanks for the love here on GS. We're glad the Twitter feed worked out so well.

Can someone please explain the draw of twitter to me? It's mildly cool to know that fred has abdominal pains, but it seems like more of a chore than setting my away message on aim already is. I just do not get this one.

For something like E3, or the mars rover one they have, I can understand. It just seems like for a normal person this is work and not really fun in any way.

I definitely had the same problems adopting Twitter. It seemed completely stupid and of little value. I also follow tech stuff so I read blogs like TechCrunch and they post about it constantly. So I said "Ok, I have an account so let me try a desktop app" and I must say it is pretty nice to see what my friends are passively thinking or doing pop up on my desktop throughout the day. They've received 20 million in funding that they'll probably never make back since business wise they have no real way to make money, nor do I think they'll really find one aside from sparse advertisements sent to you as messages or "tweets" as they're called, but it is nifty. Obviously, it's not for everyone though.

I agree, it's not so much fun.

But it works perfect to follow the E3, brilliant. Hope more people follow it today : )
