    Twitter

    I did a search on this before posting and there isn't a specific thread on the matter of Twitter. I think this is my third set up and I originally joined at the outset only because the notion amused me. I forgot my log on but I'm back on there. I use it rarely and for amusement only. Just wondering though whats out there and what is worth following. I'm still failing to grasp the idea as its pretty much a case of reading texts people publish and for the most part thats not really that interesting.

    I've had the suggestion of Dr Phil and Jeremy Kyle as friends but I assume they are generic suggestions as I have given away little of my psychological profile away. Had I done maybe both might be appropriate suggestions.

    Gave up on Twitter quickly after a brief flirtation, but I found Graham Linehan funny

    I just use twitter for sports news from the US so I don't have to visit different sites everyday.

    The Flock browser is fantastic for anyone who uses twitter regularly. It's built by the guys who made Firefox and, basically is firefox with some improvements.

    I'm quite tempted to go on again, I can see its uses, I might just use it for news and sports rather than people's inane witterings.

    Don't! That's how they got Al Capone, y'know.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Very little on it worth following I think, apart from some comedians' pages.
    There are a couple of league clubs doing regular tweeting though. If you had the time, and it was against the right team, you could follow Harps' fortunes live-ish (if the game wasn't on radio). Or of course catch up on the blow-by-blows after the event.
    In the First, I know of ourselves, Monaghan and UCD (won't bother us this year) who did it pretty regularly last season.

    Cheers Stann. I was aware that Monaghan Utd and UCD featured their match coverage on it. I'd be inclined to follow clubs actually and its handy on the go.

    I'm not getting the whole Twitter thing at all. Its a much milder version of the rubbish that is facebook but I did actually return to facebook to keep in touch with some things. I think I have moved beyond this stuff at this stage of my life and I'd say I never really got the overly into it all.

    There's always the matter of things always been improved on. I'm just not sure what it is with Twitter but it strikes me as one of the most basic models of social networking. A little like the first mobile phone. Very very basic indeed.

    Schumi gets the vast bulk of the credit there, BTW. Very handy for games you can't make - beats the hell out of keeping an eye on aertel.

    I can't wait for next years fusion of You tube, Twitter and Facebook.

    Yep, apart from match updates, and maybe bands/comics releasing tour dates and what not, can't see any point to it at all.

    Thought it was Pineapple Stu who did that? Was watching (who I assumed was) him intently the last time I was at the Bowl (EA semi), making sure I got the tweets away first.

    there's a line of thought that it could replace SMS
    I do have a few friends that I only communicate with through Twitter, I have none of their mobile numbers
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    I think he's filled in from time to time.

    I'll deny everything. I've never done it. Most I've done is text updates to schumi to tweet. And I've done the Aertel updates.
