Tooold you. Shame I really have no reason to want or need a third cell phone or I'd seriously be doing this from work. And since I've stopped sleeping I could inundate everyone with questions and rule the world.

...I think we broke it. An answer I gave just took 13 mins to show up on my screen.

Heh, I forgot CoX had a screenshot section. This whole time I've been trying to paste prntscrn photos into paint not realizing it was auto setting it to a different folder. So I'd open up paint and wined up with a black picture.

Here's Enerjack Just need to find a way to manipulate the photo to turn it into a mug shot. If anybody is feeling free, by all means go right on ahead. But for those curious, that's the face behind the screen on the other end.

Damn... I want to do this, too. But I have no idea which character to do it for...

More people should get into this.

Get Irfanview or any other mildly useful picture viewer. They usually come with a crop feature. Crop a square section of your choosing from the screenshot. It's what I did. Takes all of a minute, and the download for the viewer is also teensy.

Humh. It could be done, as said above... but it would be awfully tiny. If you could get a screenshot of the same face with the camera as close to it as possible... you could (or I could!) crop a much bigger, cleaner mug-shot of that handsome face.

Managed to do it with Paint, just remember it had a crap pic. It's still kind of small though. Mugshot The dimensions for the site are just tiny. >_<

So this actually looks like Scads of fun and I had to try it with my brand-new Praetorian, Mobilise, mostly since he's the only character I have who'd do something egotistical like this

Enjoy the outlandishness that is a rapper with Super-speed.
Sorry for the shortness, he's new.
Edit: I definitely think this serves RPing better than twitter due to the interactive nature, whereas an In-character twitter is basically just you trying to come up with interesting things to say IC while also maybe revealing this or that neat fact.

If I can decide which character to use, I may or may not set one up later today or tommorow...

(nothing like committment!)

The RSS Feed for questions has some weird display issues but I added it to Azure's page on VirtueVerse.

I really wish I could use some sort of client with this but I haven't found one that supports it. Anyone find a desktop client for it? It seems HootSuite is working on integration for it but who knows how thats going to be.

SpringDroid is pretty good for android phones though, was using it to answer stuff while commuting last night.

/em sadface that their API is private and I can't just roll my own interface.

Edit: Apparently Seesmic has a plugin for formspring, so I guess lets see if they fixed their horrible memory issues.

I was going to do this for you, but it needs some info about your character

Just crop the face and set it to greyscale, then upload it to the site and the site does the rest.

Working fine for me. Was able to send you a Q without a hitch.

We must be making it popular or something. There is a bit of lag going on. It'll say I have a new question and yet when I refresh there's nothing there and then a few seconds later after I cycle through profiles or something, it'll appear. :P

I know not many people here know me and may not know the character but maybe you've seen her around. Snow Panther has a Formspring now: http://www.formspring.me/SnowPanther

If we get it stickied, this should be the all-around In-character Social Networking thread, for twitter, Myspace, facebook, e.t.c.

Oh God. If Gideon had potential access to all social media, I'd have to give up working for money and be the little attention *****'s typist ****.

I tried getting my SG to start doing IC Facebook pages but so few people actually did it it didn't seem worthwhile.
