Roger Pielke Sr. enters Twitland

I figure I’ll help him out by announcing this for him to get him some followers, he has 13 as of this writing.

He writes:

I have decided to enter the Twitter world. My twitter name is @RogerAPielkeSr. I look forward using this medium of communication. I will occasionally present on Twitter as I learn how to best use it.

And in case you have not signed up to follow WUWT yet, you can do so here:

Unlike Dr. Michael Mann, neither Dr. Pielke’s nor WUWT’s Twitter account is setup to block people you may disagree with.

I’ve made one tweet to Dr. Mann in my entire life, asking three relevant questions about his hockey stick science. He responds by blocking me and deleting the tweets. “Who’s the denier” now?

Bad move.

201 when I followed a couple minutes ago. Just in case anyone was unaware of how influential this site is.

Everyone knows how best to use the limited computer time they have. For a rich return on the time spent, nothing can compare with a good blog and comments.

Zeke has nailed it 10:17.
I don’t know who to credit, but yes. Upper-class twit of the year. (For American cousins, ‘twit’ is a polite way to say ‘idiot’) Personally, I have a FB presence, reluctantly, to help contact with ex-students and friends who I’ve lost contact with. But Twitter? Just the name, and the idea (a ‘tweet’) should, INMHO, put off any mildly thinking person. Respect, really, to Roger Pielke Sr., you make your decisions.

Brevity, indeed the soul of wit.
I managed to live life without it.
Pondered how to find the soul of Twit.
All I find is smiley 8’s ‘n s**t…
= 140 if one counts

Approaching 300. Interesting list of followers.
Possibly the last time I’ll see it; though Twitter can be used to refer elsewhere urgently, it rarely is worth the time spent on it.

just been blocked by Michael Mann’s twitter after 2 days
I only asked why his tweets seemed more like those of a zealot than a scientist
my bad, i guess
