when and where do you flyer talk?
 
i was thinking about my own flyertalk habits, and then i thought: when and were do most FTers flyertalk? in airports, in hotel rooms, at the office, at home?

I flyertalk everywhere but probably the most at home because that is where I have the most free time. When I am traveling I am usually quite busy and only post if something happened on my trip.

That said this post is from the DCA metro station. It seems to be a slow travel day considering its the day before Thanksgiving.

Home, hotels, internet cafes, etc. Not at work, as I'm not sure they'd like that. :)

Yes.

Putting my rollaboard in the overhead bin a few days ago, I glanced down; the person seated in front of me was typing in his iPhone, and a very familiar screen caught my eye; FlyerTalk.

We had a pleasant chat...

Me too--I read from everywhere, but only post where there's a computer or I have my laptop handy.

Sorry if this is a boneheaded question--but how are folks posting on blackberries/PDAs? Is there any particular software or app designed for that purpose? I use Viigo to keep up on news feeds (including flyertalk threads) on a Verizon BB 8703e with EVDO, but the internet browsing is still clumsy enough I can't imagine navigating a seriously long flyertalk thread to do more than read it (i.e. I don't post). Maybe other folks are also just reading, not posting, when using the BB/PDA etc.?

Flyer talk has a mobile version. Although I don't use it. I use Opera Mini on my Treo 750 and it formats the whole page to fit my screen if I choose so.

everywhere

everywhere - from at least a couple of dozen countries

Virtually almost everywhere and mostly on my laptop which I virtually carry with me all the times. Of course can't deny the significant bulk comes from home and the office.
