Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey, I'm looking for a Twitter...program. I tried HootSuite, and TweetDeck looks too complex. I'd like to organize friends, business, books, etc, and be able to schedule tweets to post at certain times.
Including pic without a URL would be great, too, and maybe extending past 144 characters.
Any FREE ideas?

Strix, if you find it let me know. I don't need automatic tweeting, but I would love to organize the people I follow into tabs - at minimum separating personal friends, celebs (very few - mainly writers), people I follow for their political tweets or technical knowledge, and people I follow because they are fricking hilarious (Like @worstmuse )

I'm playing around with TweetDeck now. Gimme a couple of days to see how it works, and I'll give you some feedback.

Did anyone else update their Mac and now Chrome is barely functional? It takes forever to open and keeps giving spinning beachball. If this is some Apple trick to make me use Safari, I don't appreciate it. If it's just a compatibility issue, when will Google fix it? Ugh.

Mine works, but slowly. And if one tab is loading, the other tabs grind to a halt. I am assuming that it's tied to the upgrade.

I don't know specifics but I do know there are some bugs in the new update. When I was waiting at Geek Squad to get myour computer looked at there were two Mac ilusers there trying to figure out some problems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is my Chrome--I try and keep as few tabs open as possible. Classic Opera is light and fast but not compatible with everything.
When I fire up Safari, the whole system grinds to a near halt.
I'm one below Yosemite.

I had no problems before Yosemite, but as soon as I upgraded, endless waits. I've given up and am in Safari at the moment, but kind of irked about it.

Someone on a local Facebook list has a barely used 32 GB Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for sale for $175. I'm tempted. Anyone have any opinions on the Note? I know there will be some big tablet sales around Thanksgiving.
