Big Gus Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I got into it about 18 months ago and used it a lot, they used to read out a lot of my tweets about Jim Spence and his hapless acts/commentating on BBC Sportsound. I actually thought about doing a spoof Jim Spence one for a while but dropped the idea. Barely use it now, still good for keeping up with friends that don't live nearby though and keeping up with my other hobbies and interests. Could recommend some very good people to follow, for starters - @shitmydadsays Guy tweets about his Dad's outlook on life, I think this is the work of a comedian, really funny stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I don't really use it, and don't have much intention to do so, but I have noticed a few folk saying that subject X is trending on twitter. I know the trends are dictated by a hashtag, but I was wondering how you find out what topics are trending? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Gus Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 It says the current trending topics a little down the left of your home page. Under "Trends". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundermonkey Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 "X is trending right now" must be the wankiest phrase in recent years. "Trending"? f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theentomologist Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theentomologist Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) 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. #ukedchat 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.

Mr Hahn Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
