Tweet Dr Drew and tell him how you quit smoking analogs.

Dr. Drew (drdrew) on Twitter

"RT @Cristabel22: "Why don't you ask people what worked for them who did quit smoking?" Great idea! So here ya go..."

 

[criptix]

bump, might get some good publicity

 

[DC2]

If I Twittered I would do it.

 

[soarer425]

yeah I can't bring myself to actually get a twitter account

 

[jdg]

Perhaps some kindly person might point us to a web application that allows us to tweet without actually using Twitter...

 

[Chiqa]

I am another anti twitter, but I will Facebook.

 

[Belhade]

I have a Twitter account, but I don't really know how to use it.

What do I do to tell him "I got an e-cigarette and haven't smoked tobacco since"?

 

[Nilius]

Yep, simple as that

 

[Belhade]

No...I mean...there's no button that says "send a tweet to drdrew". Just a list of other tweets.

Ah, you're right

After logged in to Twitter
On the right side there is a Lists button and a Gear button
Click the gear button
Click @ Mention drdrew
It will take you back to your own page with "@drdrew" in the top box
Type your tweet to him

 

[Belhade]

Oh...okay. That's how you "address" tweets to people. Neat!

Replying to one of the tweets seems to work also. What I didn't understand at first was those messages on his page were all tweets from him, not from other people. I guess it's not like writing on someone else's Facebook wall.

 

[Nilius]

Replying does work as well
Remember though, with Twitter EVERYTHING is public, unlike facebook where you have SOME privacy
Twitter is like screaming across the crowded room, instead of walking up and talking to them
