Do you tweet?

I used to be scathing about Twitter but now I am mildly addicted and have two twitter accounts for different areas of interest. I also find the discipline of writing so succinctly is an interesting challenge. Just noticed that I seemed to have accidentally un-followed @Gransnet at some stage, so just re-followed them.
Takes a little time to get used to @ # and using a site that shortens links.
Are you on Twitter and how do you use it?

I love the shortness of it- you don't have to wade through reams of script.
It also forces you to think about what you write. Sometimes I need about 4 goes.

I have never tried twitter or FB. I spend enough time on GN, I only have to look around this room to be told frequently- it is so untidy!

I have had an account for a while now but dont often tweet.
I think one of the first tweets i did was when were trying to find Greatnan and I jumped in with both feet.
I like the short, sharp and punchy feel of Twitter.

I'm on it for my business and have 2.5K followers and it's useful. I also have a twitter name for my springer spaniel and it's amazing how many mad, doggie mad people there are out there!
