If you are like I was a couple of weeks ago, and have no idea what a 140 game is and what the 140 is all about, I will explain. The 140 is just to let you know that it is a Twitter based game, because Twitter has a 140 character limit, per message. This site is 140Gamerz.com, which is basically to let people know that this site is dedicated to all people that play any of these Twitter games, there are several of the Twitter games that do not have 140 in their title, so don’t think 140Gamerz.com is not for you.
In fact, my intention is to have this site be a networking tool for everybody and anybody that is using Twitter and the Twitter games, if you are new, to these games, like me, in fact, the games themselves are new, you can come here to meet others that play, and get tips, join teams, and make friends. This site is also here to make it easier to have a conversation, those 140 character messages are just too short for me, I get a little bit long winded. Imagine, the two paragraphs here would take several full 140 character posts or, tweets, that is just too confusing to try and keep up with.
Since this site uses Twitme, everytime an article is posted, Twitme automatically tweets an exerpt, with a link to the full article, this allows the sites followers to get a peek at what is posted, and, anyone that does a search on Twitter, for a keyword that is contained within that article, will also be able to find it. As far as the “social” sites go, Twitter is the only one that works for me, it is quick, easy, and can be used by the websites I build. Facebook, MySpace, or whatever, are just somebody elses website, yes, you can use it to meet people or whatever, but they don’t work, “with” your website, my point being, you can work and play almost at the same time! What a concept! 140 games and Twitter are the best thing since sliced bread! I also have to take my hat off to those that have developed tools, like Twitme, that enable WordPress to work with Twitter!
So, come on in, register and get involved, you never know, these games and Twitter may just be what you are looking for!

We all have some sort of “gift” or “thing” that draws us to do certain things, like me, building websites and customizing themes for WordPress, that is my “thing”, and yes, I am passionate about what I do. No, I am by no means the best, but I am pretty good, and yes, I even get paid to do it sometimes, I guess you could say it is like an “overgrown hobby” that I really do feel strongly about. So, enough about me, what is your thing? Do we have any graphic artists? Is video and youtube what gets you going? What about photography or journalism? Whatever your “thing” is, talk about it, maybe you can make some kind of connection here?
