			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you know I am a <a href="http://www.thatpamchick.com/2008/02/05/two-of-my-favorite-things-about-twitter/">fan of Twitter</a>, but I have yet to find a Twitter group participation thing &#8211; Frozen Peas, Twitter Dating (no seriously <a href="http://twitter.com/Twittter_Dating">it exists</a>), etc. &#8211; that I was in to.  Until now that is&#8230;Dan Perry is launching <a href="http://danperry.com/wordpress/twitter-trivia/">Twitter Trivia</a>.  Dan will tweet trivia questions and tally points for the 3 first correct responses.  At the end of March he will announce the winners and maybe even have some prizes.  If Twitter Trivia takes off, Dan will potentially offer more features like a leader board, &#8220;I know more useless crap than you&#8221; badges and more.  I love trivia and competing for pointless titles so follow <a href="http://twitter.com/funtrivia">FunTrivia</a> to play and help ensure Twitter Trivia will be a success.</p>
<p>If you want to see my pathetic attempts at answers, <a href="http://twitter.com/Pamela_Lund">follow me too</a>.</p>
<p>For those of you who haven&#8217;t warmed up to Twitter yet, this might be a great time for you to try it out and connect with people who share a common interest in knowing what the Knights Who Say Ni demanded King Arthur bring them*.  And above all, have some fun!</p>
<p>*The answer is a shrubbery of course</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a recent article called <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/14/fashion/14Cyber.html?_r=1&amp;adxnnl=1&amp;oref=slogin&amp;adxnnlx=1203231751-DqSbBbDX4vnPeyfowygtLg"><em>If You Can&#8217;t Let Go, Twitter</em></a>, author Michelle Slatalla recounts her failed attempts to get her family to use Twitter to communicate more efficiently.   Slatalla tried to recruit her husband and three daughters &#8211; 18, 16 and 10 years old.  Of the four recruits, her husband was the only person that managed to slightly grasp the concept.  Her 18 year old was quoted saying &#8220;It&#8217;s too complicated&#8221; and her 16 year old said the site was &#8220;confusing&#8221;.   Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, responded saying &#8220;We do have a lot of work to do to make it simpler and clearer to use&#8221;.</p>
<p>Confusing?  Too complicated?  Make it simpler and clearer to use?  What could be simpler than typing 160 characters (or less) and hitting update?  Twitter doesn&#8217;t suffer from feature bloat or an over complicated UI.  I understand people not &#8220;getting&#8221; Twitter if they&#8217;ve never used it.  I even understand people not liking it once they try it.  But not even being able to figure out how to use it is just asinine.</p>
<p>I imagine that Slatalla&#8217;s children are not as dense as this article makes them seem.  Instead, I assume her children were not interested in Twitter because their mother wanted them to use it.  If my mom had suggested we text each other when I was 16 I may have reacted like her children did to Twitter.  In a month they will probably be twittering away to their friends and acting like they discovered Twitter all on their own.  That should provide Slatalla with some material for another article.</p>
