The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Twitter is a way to get 160

Submitted by rapture on Thu, 05/01/2008 - 8:03pm.

Twitter is a way to get 160 characters of text or send 160 characters of text. What you send and receive is up to you. How you send and receive is up to you. The reason they talk about Twitter (I guess) is because of how open it is (the extra apps that are built) and because it's so widely adopted.

I get alerts on Deal Snares sent to Twitter. I get the weather updates. I get alerts when certain websites have changed and CNN breaking news.

Most people use it as a microblog (kind of like you use Facebook status updates).

However, you aren't missing much and it just adds more clutter to your social graph. However, it can make it work for you and I've found some value in that.
