I have just made an account, thanks to this thread. JockyIsMyGod if anyone fancies following.

I'm slowly getting into it since I got my new phone at Christmas. It's mostly t-shirt related stuff I use it for though.

30 odd followers, probably waiting for FFC related t-shirts.

It's fairly uninspiring stuff though

"X is trending right now" must be the wankiest phrase in recent years.

"Trending"?

f**k off.

[Davis Love III]

I'm on Twitter but very rarely post stuff up on it. Just use it to keep track of things.

[ThatBoyRonaldo]

alright own up, who from here followed me? i changed my name to fraseydee if anyone is still interested

[Ad Lib]

I have two twitter accounts. One which hasn't been updated in ages which was connected to my blog and another for run of the mill stuff. Mostly use it to get wind of political stories.

Has anyone else been following this argument between Rio Ferdinand and Piers Morgan? It's amusing in a "I'm desperate for column inches" kind of way.

its amusing in that Piers is not bothering with him

its not as funny as Piers argument with Lord Sugar...

I use it to network with other teachers - I'm sure there are other ways of doing it, but I've been able to source some really good resources and share it instantly with over 100 other teachers using it. Works for me.

if you create search for that, its quite interesting stuff.


edit: there's also obviously a load of shite. you just have to be critical in how you assess what you're reading as with everything.

I've got an account but can't remember the last time I logged in.

[Milevskiy]

Good and practical if you're famous but pish if you're not

[Mr Hahn]

Made an account ages ago to see what it was all about, haven't looked at it since. Don't think any of my mates are on it so can't see me going back to it.

Are you following the right Piers Morgan?

[die hard doonhamer]

Morgan's argument with Sugar is hilarious. Haven't seen the argument with Ferdinand though.

Ferdinand's sole argument is that Piers is fat and has moobs, that's about it. Morgan corrects Rio's spelling, says "at least I work on a Saturday" and calls him a "one trick donkey". I think they're both p***ks, personally. I'm not even sure why I'm following them.

What is the # thing all about? Why do people put random words after a #?

Quote

The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages

• People use the hashtag symbol # before relevant keywords in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets to show more easily in Twitter Search.
• Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets in that category.
• Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet.
• Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.

if you add # and then whatever you want to # then you can search for your # and if others use the same # then you can effectively create a themed chatroom,

e.g. if I search for #ukedchat then tweetdeck displays all the tweets with the hash tag #ukedchat.

its actually brilliant.

[gy diamond]

I'm on it but don't post much. Mainly only use it to keep updated with how the Airdrie games are going.

AndersonAFC if anyone is interested.

Twitter's good for Junior football scores, many teams use it and it's undated quicker than the official sites - I run the Largs Thistle Twitter but can't update live as I live in Aberdeen, instead I update it from texts I get - my dad can't update it on his work phone and I've offered it to him.

There's some users who only update with boring peffle like "I'm eating toast" but social networking is like that, if you have the accounts of things you are right into it can be really useful - having loads of journalism twitters has helped me on my uni course.

Yeah I'm the same. I guess it for me is mainly because I'm game for watching anyone have an argument on Twitter. I'm just hoping for someone else to intervene and put them both in their place.

I got bored of it and I've given up following them now. And reported them for spam.
