I love Twitter.
Came to it a bit late as I've been on MN and GN for years.
Yes there are some nasty people but I've discovered so many clever, funny and interesting people. I started by following authors, then branched out into gardening.
I'm completely ignorant about art but have discovered @HWarlow who posts paintings with background details and thoughtful comments.
What sort of things do others enjoy?

Just followed you gonegirl. I'm a bit boring , some garden photos and cat stuff and the occasional rare inspiration.

BlueBelle you don't have to make comments, many people just read threads. If you want you can reply to anyone. So if you decided to follow, say, Larry the cat, you would see all his tweets and could reply if you wanted. The more people you follow the more interesting it is though you can get too many.

Blue you can search for anything or just watch what is trending. I follow some news people. The main thing is you can't stop people tweeting you until you see they are and then block them. It is a lot less personal that Fb.

Yikes RedRidingHood I just followed you on Twitter but pretty soon realised I'd got your Twitter name slightly wrong. It looked like you were a very different sort of Gran!! I've found you now though. Phew.

blimey follow a cat and reply to his texts !!! ??? the mind boggles
Ok so here’s a question ? A couple of you have given names but apart from that how do you ‘find’ someone just imagined a name and see what comes up ?

Famous People usual use their real names. If there is a little blue tick next to the name they have been verified by Twitter.
Jane oh dear, there are some dark corners on there ?.
Some famous people have very boring accounts that are run for them, unlike Marion Keyes who does her own and is hilarious.
