A quick round of geo comments on Twitter

I’m keeping an eye, at a distance, on twitter. I follow one person (Leo Laporte) and to be honest, it’s not that valuable to me, though I love his podcasts. (TWiT every week!)

Still, with the Tweet Scan tool to search tweets (the 140 character messages sent on the network) you can get a feel of what’s going on geo-wise on Twitter. Here are some quotes:

macmark9 : Learning the GIS program suite is worse than a newbie learning Photoshop!

JasonCIBERrec : Recruiting for a GIS Programmer in Memphis, TN

mbigmistake : Taking an all-day GIS class. I remember more than I thought and it will be more useful to get the software than I imagined.

bingkafei : OMG. I have just discovered GRASS (http://grass.itc.it). How did I never hear about this during the zillions of GIS-based classhours I had?!

rexboto : trying to explain to someone how to add my data to GIS Explorer….dadadumb!!!

twoodwar : the Arc GIS user experience is like being assaulted by a frozen penguin- maybe it’s just me
