Nicola H Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have signed up but haven't a clue what i am supposed to be doing, I will have a look for you Cinnamon........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well, I am not too up on it myself,but you 'follow' what certain people are doing (Stephen Fry for example) as they update their status in short bursts from a mobile or computer. Stephen Fry updated his from the green room on the Johnathan Ross show on friday for instance - it gives a sort of blow by blow account. I think its quite fun, & seems safe as you can block anyone you don't like the look of http://www.twitter.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 What the heck is twittering? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So it's a bit like facebook? If it is, I won't join - I don't do facebook as it seems a bit like a dating agency if you know what I mean - advertise yourself, photo, profile etc. Oooo no.

Cinnamon Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Its more like a micro blog really, but does have similarities to FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 aaahhh, another log-in to worry about! I just stay in contact by phone call and email. Blogging when I have something blog about. After my FB experience, I stay well away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I've managed to avoid facebook. Can be a pretty nasty place from what I've heard and read.. I've all on keeping up with this forum! Not sure that I'll have time to Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I much prefer twitter to facebook - all the notifications and add-ons on facebook just confuse the hell out of me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I can't find you Pengy - I think you have to search for people by their real name, rather than their username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I surprised anyone has trouble with facebook, the notifications are annoying but i only have close friends and family on mine so can keep in touch, you don't need to add anyone you don't want to! i couldn't cope with another one as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
