Install Fish Shell on Mac OS X

Fish is an alternative shell for Unix environments.

"What is Fish and why would someone use it instead of another shell?

Fish has a number of advantages over other shells: Fish suggests commands as you type based on history and completions, just like a web browser’s search bar
Fish generates completions automatically by parsing your installed man pages
Fish has a more intuitive syntax
Fish has less historical baggage and technical debt"

Twitter privacy settings

"Twitter folks- why can i only retweet tweets from some people & not everyone?"

"You can only retweet people who do not have private accounts. So if you see their tweet and they have a little lock by their name, they have a protected account. You can't retweet their tweets with that button. BUT you can still retweet it simply by typing "RT @(username)" and copy & paste their tweet-- old school :)"
