Just joined Twitter. I am told this is one of the things ebook authors need to do these days, so long overdue.
Joined Gransnet there. Looked for other GNers. Found only a couple of you. Maybe you lurk under other names?
Can I invite you to join me in this other medium? @jess_madge
Come out and play!

We are delighted to have you all following us on twitter and look forward to lots of happy tweeting together grin #twitteraddict

I've just set up my DH with a twitter account for his business and just started to tweet on mine again so I will look out for gransnet and everyone else on there. smile

I've just followed everyone who has given their Twitter handle above. Mine is @anna_cronin and I am about to tweet an early #ff to all fellow Gransnetters grin
(Will have to be a premature #ff as I leave for work at 8 on a Friday morning, and I am no early bird!)

Can't cope with it!sad why? And why is it better than GN?

yogagran Thu 19-Jul-12 22:54:37

It's not jeni - GN is best by far, I just feel the need to try and keep up with the younger generations grin

jeni Thu 19-Jul-12 22:59:59

Why?

yogagran Thu 19-Jul-12 23:07:58

Just don't like being left behind sad

nightowl Thu 19-Jul-12 23:12:20

I can't cope with it either jeni and I don't know what it's for. I spend too much time on GN already, I can't add anything else.

Anagram Thu 19-Jul-12 23:23:08

I agree. Tweeting is for the birds...

janthea Fri 20-Jul-12 09:45:26

I think I've sorted everyone out, but who is @Libradi?

Bags Fri 20-Jul-12 09:46:50

Same as Libradi on here, probably.

Ella46 Fri 20-Jul-12 09:50:02

I don't get it either. It feels as though lots of us are tweeting or pming or meeting up, and not actually chatting on here quite as much. sad

Bags Fri 20-Jul-12 09:50:18

Do you have to join Twitterland to read what the Gransnet Twitterati are saying "over there"?

Ella46 Fri 20-Jul-12 09:53:38

If you click on the twitter icon at the top of the page you can see the Gnet contribution but not what our members are saying.

Bags Fri 20-Jul-12 09:57:23

Thanks, ella. I suppose most of it will be said on the forums too.

Never been 'up there'. Maybe I should try it wink

Ella46 Fri 20-Jul-12 10:05:35

Just looked again bags and you can click on each conversation......if you have the time grin

gracesmum Fri 20-Jul-12 10:33:54

Sorry annobel - laptop on go slow and had frozen. See it is sorted now though.

yogagran Fri 20-Jul-12 13:34:39

Shouldn't bother bags - it's not very exciting. Useful though if you need action from a company as they don't like to be criticised on Twitter and it does seem to get results then

annemac101 Fri 20-Jul-12 15:44:02

I have been on twitter for about three years and I love it. I have tweeted with some lovely people from all over the world and met some in real life too. I have a blog and it's great for getting others to read it. My name is @cassam101 and I will follow all who have given their twitter name . Happy tweeting ,give it a go.

Anagram Fri 20-Jul-12 15:45:35

No thanks! hmm

annemac101 Fri 20-Jul-12 16:25:34

It's maybe not for everyone but don't knock it unless you've tried it. Maybe you're not following or being followed by the right people.

Ella46 Fri 20-Jul-12 16:47:08

Anagram I'm following you!! grin

Anagram Fri 20-Jul-12 16:49:45

grin How on Earth would I know whether they were the 'right' people or not?
Sorry, I've got better things to do with my time. Enjoy yourselves!

glassortwo Fri 20-Jul-12 16:51:40

All day I have had the feeling that someone is following me, grin
