I am a newbie to Tweeting, as I had always thought that it was'nt for me and could not see the attraction - however, I have been surprised, its great fun, and excellent for keeping up to date with sports and other stuff - and I must now confess to being hooked into the world of Twitter!

It's fun , if your not to stalky some Celebs have a chat on occasion or just drop intresting stuff (ok i may have squelled when Ellen Macrthur replied to one of mine .....) ;)
And a small chat with Sue Perkins because i accused her of not knowing the offside rule ;) (oddly she agreed to being a mad old cat lady but hey ho )

There's a few different levels to twitter, you can be a silent celeb stalker, a wierdo who talks to them, someone who likes the sound of their own voice (like me) or a nut job with a fake account.

One of the best ones is Laura Kuessenburg (or something similar), political correspondent for the BBC. Wherever she is, as soon as something is said, she tweets it. It's enormously handy if you need a brief synopsis of what's going on behind the corridors of power.

Edit - I owe Martin Carruthers so much green, but it keeps telling me I have to spread some more about. Sorry, old chap, but your green count should be about 50 more than it is.

@BBCLauraK Thanks for the tip Groyney.

Having said that, I'm not too impressed with her most recent offering :smile:

I dont follow him, but see his tweets on Pubey's southend players' list which is very good.

Congratulations on lasting days. I love Stan to bits, but by Christ he's irritating on Twitter.

As opposed to people who are irritating on everything?:winking:

Trolling and WUMing on internet message boards is attention seeking for emigrants.

Perpetually copying and pasting links from the Guardian is micro posting for *****

I see my favourite right wingers are following me around again as part of the "twitterati" debate:smiles:
btw ESB do try to write a little English in your "tweets".Otherwise I fear I shall fail to fully comprehend your meaning. :raspberry:

 

[Uncle Leo]

Can we please try and keep this thread civil.

Back on topic, if you're not following @robdelaney, do so.

Agreed - once you get twitter it is far better. Only use FB for marketing now

Is faintly disturbed at red squiggly lines being in your computer , in the trade we call that ... broken.
Or do you still have your old valve one (i know the job lot from Bletchley was going but really :P)
