Place to ask questions about Twitter?

by Big Steve Oct 29, 2009 5:32PM PDT

I typed the word "Twitter" into the search box for all CNET forums and it brought me here. Is this the place to ask questions about Twitter or is this a "just shoot the breeze" forum to hang out and talk? I'm new to Twitter, I finally figured out how to use it but I want to post a pic to Twitpic, don't quite know how to do it, concerned about privacy, emailed their contact address, no response, no phone number either, it's kind of like Ebay, if you have a question good luck in getting an answer. If I dropped in on the wrong forum to ask a question about Twitter do accept my apologies and pizza is on it's way so enjoy.

why don't you ask on twitter

@twitter how do I post on twitpic?

See what happens.

P.S I do not know the answer. There are books on twitter that would probably cover it. I think twitpic just links to a picture. I don't think you can post pictures directly on twitter.

security??

not sure i follow you on that one. you have to fork over your twitter username and password if you want to use it. thats how that works and theres no way around it. i would weigh the advantages and disadvantages and then decide based on that.

my take: it's just twitter it's not your bank account

FWIW: we here use it all the time.
