[JMcEntegart]

We're just trying something new, here. If twitter isn't your thing, no one is going to strap you to a chair and force you to follow us.

I'd like to delude myself and think that was sincere.

Don't be silly Jane, if its not a game or it doesn't come out of Redmond then most of the commenters on here would rather hurl poo at you than try something new!

I was wondering when you guys would start using your Tom's line of Twitter accounts. They've been active for what, five months now?

 

[fooldog01]

I really do detest Twitter. With that it mind, IF I used Twitter I would definitely subscribe to this. See? Twitter haters can be polite!

 

[arvedui]

I rather like twitter.

Yeah, since October. Don't look at me, I didn't even know we'd signed up until today.

What is gained by following anyone on Twitter? Please help me understand this "new" technology. CNN.com drank the Kool-aide about two months ago and I can barely bring myself to visit that site now.

Just wait until they see what Twitter client you're using...

This is great work that you're all doing expanding into Twitter. I'm sure there will be a lot of people very interested in this, I know there are a *lot* of silent readers out there who will definitely use this. Good stuff!

Think of it a bit like mini-rss - something which the geekier of geeks will have used. Twitter's basically a mix between short news feeds that could have been sent via rss and Facebook status updates. You wouldn't sign up to a BBC News friend on Facebook just to get news items piped through to you but you would add them on Twitter. Its basically a feed of short messages from whoever you want. Some people use it to follow friends, others use it to keep an eye on what's going on in certain businesses, others use it as a feed to know what's going on in their governments and others use it to get general news sent through to them from different sources that they're interested in, all to one place.

Tweets = Fail?
Forum > Tweets?

Yes to both!

 

[curnel_D]

Why do I think you had alot to do with this, jane?

I've checked it out a bit, but twitter is just not for me. Hopefully you guys have fun with it though.

 

[michaelahess]

For people with more time than work on their hands, awesome, otherwise? Heck no!

 

[Harby]

Seriously, twitter? :S
