Tweeting is lame, but if people wish to, that's their choice.
I'd be more concerned with other users security than anything else, i know nothing of the possbile risks but better to be safe than sorry.

I can't remove it either.
How can they force us to look at this the entire time we are online?
I know they get paid for it but damn let us choose!

I'd rather punch myself in the junk than text 140 characters in a message. Lovin' Speedy more and more. How secure is Twitter and texts anyway.

Actually, I'm starting to be a tad concerned with this site's security in the first place.

The perfect point was made. People like to be anonymous on this website, so how can you be anonymous if you are using your personal tweet account or receiving tweets on your cell phone?
Plus the fact that 25 people have voted so far and not a single person wants it should say something.

Yea, I know it's probably a well-intentioned add-on for RIU, but I'm not sure it's right for this community.
By the very nature of what growers do, it's a dangerous and felonious activity. Even those that live in medicinal states have to worry that some fed is gathering intel on them and their activities.
I think what I worry about more than anything is the young grower who gets over-zealous about what they're doing, and accidentally reveals a subtle detail about what they're doing, where they live, and/or who they are.
Oh yea, it's annoying as hell to have 'tweets' in the left-middle of the screen, so I have to constantly scroll the screen either up or down so I can read or write anything to the far left.
If you use Firefox (and you really should anyway if you value your computer safety), AdBlock works in getting rid of it.

Thanks for the addblock tip!!! works like a charm!
edit: and tweeting is...there is no PC word for what it is...
Yeah...that's what I was trying to say...Thanks!
I think if it was placed up in the header area with the rest of the buttons, no one would care...it is the problem with having to scroll around it that is annoying...then that brings out the "who the hell tweets anyway????"
I think smoking herb may be the cure for such silliness...anyone on here that is tweeting...should smoke more...before the dreaded realitytelevisionitis sets in...

Hell, it should at least be removed until they take the software past the alpha build...

For the life of me, I can't see how the Admins thought this was a good idea. And with the overwhelming negative response, perhaps today would be a good day to put down the bong and get this aggravating app the hell off of here.
Henry Ford took 12 attempts at inventing a car before he came up with the Model T. Its annoying and there is a fix (page one) so let it be. All in all RIU still is a gr8 website and tool. even if they did take the smileys away from the advanced page and you can no longer edit your posts. Give it time they will get it right.
