A friend was over for lunch today and he asked me what was going on in Twitterland. I said I don’t know, let’s tweet something. Then he said:

Twitter me this, Twitter me that, Twitter me an interesting fact.

I thought, OK, that’s fantastic, so we tweeted it out. Below are the facts that we received.

So, the same friend, the same lunch, I asked if he wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a jelly ad peanut butter sandwich.

This became a tweet adventure in itself.

I had fun Tweeting a recipe the other day. It was my first one and we had a great time. I called Tweeting the recipe while you are making it Tweetcipe. Others have used the word Tweetcipe to describe recipes that can be written in 140 characters or less. For this post, Tweetcipe is tweeting about a recipe while you are making it.

Here is my Tweetcipe on making pizza on Twitter.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:27 PM Pizza tonight and I’m Tweeting my steps. 1st little more than 1/3 cup HOT water add 1tbs yeast & 1tbs agave syrup (or honey or sugar) mix.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:29 PM Preheat oven to 150 for dough rise. I use a large salad bowl to put in 2 cups unbleached flour and make well in center.

BobSongs Bob Gray Nov 11, 03:30 PM @YanceyG I think you might need to change your PW… I just got a tweet from you about making Dough, on Twitter !!! : )

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:31 PM Now I’m adding the yeast mixture &an additional 1/3 to 1/4 cup water. Now my fingers will get messed up as I play with it until it’s a ball.

libertygirl3 Andrea Oppedisano Nov 11, 03:31 PM @YanceyG wow! I’m impressed…I don’t ever make pizza dough…I call Papa John’s lol

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:33 PM oh, add a little Italian seasoning to the mixture to spice it up.

BobSongs Bob Gray Nov 11, 03:35 PM @YanceyG Can’t be too careful !!! (And don’t get flour on your Tweets !!!)

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:47 PM RT @libertygirl3: @YanceyG wow! I’m impressed…I don’t ever make pizza dough…I call Papa John’s lol | I’m the Papa in this house! ha!

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:38 PM I’ve got a metal pan I use to raise the dough in the oven, I’m buttering it and the pizza pan now.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:33 PM oh, add a little Italian seasoning to the mixture to spice it up.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:38 PM I’ve got a metal pan I use to raise the dough in the oven, I’m buttering it and the pizza pan now.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:41 PM Made a few slits with the knife in the dough after putting it in the pan. Now it’s in the oven. Veggie time! Garlic onions and bell peppers.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:43 PM Putting the onion in the freezer for a few minutes so it won’t make me cry as much.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:47 PM Frozen hamburger pattie being defrosted and will be broken up and put on pizza.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:47 PM RT @libertygirl3: @YanceyG wow! I’m impressed…I don’t ever make pizza dough…I call Papa John’s lol | I’m the Papa in this house! ha!

jsepperson J.S. Epperson Nov 11, 03:49 PM Following @YanceyG today is like reading small parts of a secret recipe. It took me forever to figure it was pizza!

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:53 PM Wow, that onion was still strong, it made me cry. Ladies, do you like a guy who can cry? (over cut onions) YES< for Pizza.

SheilaEinTO SheilaEmijjo Nov 11, 03:54 PM RT @YanceyG Wow, that onion was still strong, it made me cry. Ladies, do you like a guy who can cry? (over cut onions) YES< for Pizza. < YEP

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 03:59 PM Dough has risen, oven now preheating to 450. Flouring hands and spreading dough onto pizza pan.

libertygirl3 Andrea Oppedisano Nov 11, 04:00 PM @YanceyG go Papa go! What kinda pizza are u making?

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:03 PM A little pizza dough stuck 2 bottom of raising pan so I took it & rolled it in2 a bread stick 2 go in oven while temp is rising. Treat4wife.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:04 PM RT @libertygirl3: @YanceyG go Papa go! What kinda pizza are u making? | little hamburger and LOTS of veggies. See tweet stream.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:05 PM Dough is ready will put in oven for 5 minutes when it is preheated to 450. Now time to shred cheese for the pizza.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:06 PM chipolte cheese (HOT) (also why wife said no to Anaheim peppers) medium cheddar and mozzarella for the pizza.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:12 PM Almost burned the bread stick. Pizza dough is in oven for 5 minutes to pre cook it.

gator_girl76 tonda porter Nov 11, 04:15 PM @YanceyG I’m taking notes…will definitely be trying this SOON:)

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:15 PM OK, I’ve cut the cheese.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:16 PM For the pizza sauce I just use tomato paste. The brand I like is Cantadina. But just tomato paste is so simple.

galkinelli Alex Galkin Nov 11, 04:19 PM @YanceyG Brick oven?

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:21 PM RT @galkinelli: @YanceyG Brick oven? | Nope, just Jenn-air convection bake. I’d love a brick oven for this thou.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:22 PM The pizza sauce is down, and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Adding the garlic, red & green bell peppers, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms.

galkinelli Alex Galkin Nov 11, 04:24 PM @YanceyG Sounds delicious anyway! A few basil leafs at the end?

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:31 PM Pizza is in the oven! 8 minutes at 450 then I’ll rotate it.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 04:33 PM RT @galkinelli: @YanceyG Sounds delicious anyway! A few basil leafs at the end? | At beginning added thyme rosemary oregano & basil to dough.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 06:45 PM @galkinelli Yes, the pizza was big. We eat 2/3 at dinner then the other 1/3 for lunch the next day. Have made smaller lighter ones before.

YanceyG Yancey Grantham Nov 11, 07:10 PM @gator_girl76 Thanks for the comment. I try to keep my pizza simple, it takes about 1 1/2 to fix and cook but my wife always likes it.

You read something on Twitter and you want to repeat it on your time line. This is called ReTweeting or as everyone shortens it to just RT.

Twitter is going to have this automated in a future release but for now, and then if you want to customize, you need to manual RT.

The convention is to include RT, @theauthors-username and sometimes the @source.

I’ve seen some Tweets with too many @’s crediting the whole chain of senders. This is nice but what if you don’t have the room or don’t want to include that many @’s? The best practice is to at least go back to the original source or author of the Tweet.

Formatting

If the Tweet is an original work of the author I like to put the RT @username at the first of the Tweet.

Here is an example where I RTed a poem.

If I RT an article I don’t feel the name should go in the front. I usually credit the source at the end by saying Via @source or Txs @source.

Here is an example where I was thinking two Followers for RTing something of mine:

If you want to RT a blog article, a lot of times there will be a link or graphic for that. On this blog, click the green ReTweet button to RT this article. If you do, I’ll Tweet a TXS!

There it is, a screen shot of the situation. I’ve been locked out of Twitter! There is an honest explanation, I promise.

The short story: I changed my password then while updating it sent through too many wrong password requests.

The long story:

While checking my Twitter 3rd party connections I found one that was bad which lead to me changing my Twitter Password.

To check your connections go to:

Settings -> Connections

Here you can see all your 3rd party apps.

The top one was my offender. This screen shot shows it having Revoked Access. I revoked the access after FireFox blocked the site from me.

I clicked to view the web page and FireFox displayed the next graphic.

This is how that lead to being locked out of Twitter -

I changed my Twitter Password but as I logged onto other tools such as Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, TwitIQ and others, they still had the old password and used it before I could change it. Doing this too many times caused Twitter to lock me out. Thank you Twitter! I’m glad they have this in place.

What I should have done –

I should have revoked the access on all 3rd party applications before I used them. I should have changed the password in the application while it was “off line.” After changing the passwords, most applications will automatically reconnect so that part is easy.

So –

- Watch which 3rd party sites you use
- Change your password immediately if you have been compromised
- Turn off access in Connections then change password in applications
