The meaning of life, Stikman's Shtick, and Red dreams.

This week I’ve decided to hand over The News Of The Tweet to Stikman it seems. He was the sun around which so much humorous tweeting revolved this week.

@brendog_1 @svenmartinphoto got it… Thanks 4 explanation Brendog. Ya I probably wouldn’t fit so well in that crew.

— Brian Lopes (@BrianLopes) June 30, 2012

Twitter, as we can see above, is a great way of letting people know exactly what you are all about. In this case, uncovering the meaning behind S4P.

UK privateer racer, Rich Thomas, shows the world what he is made of.

Stikman also inadvertently started a little Twitter discussion regarding web videos being filmed on $30,000 dollar cameras.

They must give discounts in redcameras these days, everyone has one. Action sports shooting must be paying baller rates!

— Craig Stik Glaspell (@stikmanglaspell) June 30, 2012

@stikmanglaspell actually it doesn’t but we didn’t let that stop us progressing bike imagery #needsomeindustrysupport

— Rob Parkin (@robparkinvideo) June 30, 2012

@robparkinvideo @stikmanglaspell to be fair, I think we do really well out of such a small industry. #zoomsandpansarestillcool

— Aaron Bartlett (@monobartlett) June 30, 2012

@monobartlett @stikmanglaspell small industry, the big companies make hundreds of millions of dollars!

— Rob Parkin (@robparkinvideo) July 1, 2012

overheard on the mountain yesterday “We only have one client and they are worth less than our camera” #Quoteoftheday #RED #fail

— Sven Martin (@svenmartinphoto) June 29, 2012

And also, slightly cheaper cameras that still allow us to have some new age fun with a vintage feel.

Sources including Family Guy, Twitter + Tom Cruise say that Netflix, Pinterest and my Instagram my have suffered Red Bull shortages tonight.

— Red Bull (@redbull) June 30, 2012

@TheWarhead amazon datacentre went ping, taking down @instagram and quite a few other services

— Alex Murray (@leguape) June 30, 2012

Some people got really mad when Instagram went pop temporarily.

@lnstgram this is bullshit!!

— EriiDayy (@LittoErii) June 30, 2012

fix my instagram before I get mad @lnstgram

— Young E(@blaaackieBOY) June 30, 2012

Fortunately, Facebook are future proofing their servers so we will never be without it, not even temporarily.

Facebook is overhauling the legions of computers that make it actually work. Here’s how they do. bit.ly/OogUnM

— Wired (@wired) June 26, 2012

Bud, it never worked RT @dbetcher44: Anyone remember when Instagram worked? Me neither

— Craig Stik Glaspell (@stikmanglaspell) June 30, 2012

@ianhylands I don’t use instascam, don’t need another twitter or Facebook image thing…with gay filters.
