Twitter or not?

There,s also an app called Twit Longer (or something like that; I have used it a few times), for people who, ahem, talk too much

(and it's someone not too far from GN)

I wonder if his pals called him Lance.

Make me one Cari. Pleeeease!

Oh dear, looking at my last post I think I should be on Twit Longer although I have no idea how it all works.

Thanks All. Off to have a go.

I "got into" Twitter when Carol went missing too. I had tried it before and been as befuddled as people mention on here but necessity made me try harder and it really wasn't so bad. It is what you make it, like so many things in life.

A lot of Gransnet Local pages have Twitter accounts as it is a good way to get things known about.

My personal account is used to follow family, friends and celebrities. Sometimes a TV programme will show a #at the beginning so that you can chat about it eg. Sir Alan is very funny while the Apprentice is on.

Twitter is a very immediate form of communication and can be personalised to suit you. Just be aware that everything you say is public!

I bet Cameron wished he did not tweet now.

Bet Emily Thornberry wishes she hadn't either...

I'm not on FB, neither do I use Twitter. Never felt the need.

She's not quite as important as he is, though.
I do not use either, but that cameronmustgo thread did make me waver. But I'd only be another voice on a twitterfeed. I'd much rather sign up to an e petition.

Of course.

I like twitter and follow BBC news and weather, good for getting instant updates, the Guardian, no need to buy the paper, various interesting and funny people , such as Steph and Dom, local news etc. , I rarely tweet, but it's a good way of knowing what's happening. And it's good for complaining.

I signed on to Twitter after being gently encouraged by a young friend who said it was a great way of not only getting my lorry driver campaign out into the world but also learning a lot about health and welfare. I took a deep breath and haven't looked back.

The 'help' from Twitter itself is excellent and gave me confidence to try things out.

I wouldn't use it for 'fun' but if you have something to impart or want to find out what's going on in a particular field it's really useful.
