I finally created a Twitter account, mostly so that I could find out who keeps tweeting about my posts. The little Twitter counter under the title consistently has some pleasingly non-zero number in it, so I thought I should find out what people are saying. Alas, whenever I click on the little number, it just takes me to the home page I just created. But that's not what I wanted! If someone wants to talk gently to me and explain what I am doing wrong, I'll be happy to hear it.

I'll be at Science Online Together for the next few days. I missed last year so I'm really looking forward to getting back into the Science Online swing of things.
Twitter is about to ruin itself.
On Twitter, things can be fast and unpredictable. Like yesterday. I was having an interesting discussion with @jason_pontin about the changing role of quoting sourses in Old vs.
It all started with this innocent little tweet from @seelix:
In going through the twitter list, I believe that half the #scio12 people are either a librarian, a marine scientist or named Emily.
Would you send out a "Hello world"-type message on twitter so we know we have the correct Jason Rosenhouse who follows math, chess, & atheist twitter feeds; ha ha.
When I click on the "@ Connect" tab at the top of my home page, there's a link called Mentions that's described as: "Tweets that mention you, or are in reply to you, appear here."
I think that's what you're asking about.
Alas, nothing seems to come up in the Mentions category. But I do seem to have three followers already. Goodness!
The link seems to have a superfluous # in it. Have Twitter changed their URL structure recently?
