    I must have missed the "twitties".

    Why does that sound dirty?

    The name or the statement? The name is silly. But so is Twitter. And "tweet." I mean, what the heck is "Tweeple?" The Internet's feverish branding race has ruined great terminology. It's just sort of accepted. Unfortunately, I think a good portion of the non-techie world looks at this stuff and thinks we're insane.

    Sarah sent me the format this morning.

    "PRsarahevans morning! here is format: @nameofperson, #category; @nameofperson, #category"

    Too confusing especially with category names like: #TWEEPLES TO WATCH (up and coming) and #TECHNOLOGY/ WEB 2.0

    Voting would have to look something like:

    @stevegarfield, #TWEEPLES TO WATCH (up and coming); @stevegarfield, #TECHNOLOGY/ WEB 2.0

    Way too confusing with too many # , and ;

    I suggested suspending the voting and redoing the voting page so all people need to do is enter twitter usernames under multiple categories.
