Lisa Cuddy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 its amusing in that Piers is not bothering with him its not as funny as Piers argument with Lord Sugar... Are you following the right Piers Morgan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Morgan's argument with Sugar is hilarious. Haven't seen the argument with Ferdinand though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSaint Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 What is the # thing all about? Why do people put random words after a #? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 What is the # thing all about? Why do people put random words after a #? 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theentomologist Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 What is the # thing all about? Why do people put random words after a #? 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gy diamond Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And reported them for spam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yup Yup got to agree, Rio just talking to himself Now Morgan is having an argument with Dom Joly about., well, nothing really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I have just signed up in order to follow the Opta stats folk. Are there any football personalities worth following? I don't want to read about what they had for breakfast each morning, but I would be quite keen to follow ones that post about football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was following Lucas Leiva but he tweets "good morning everyone" and "good night everyone" in English and Portuguese on a daily basis. He's getting binned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's opta guys for german.Spanish, Italian football and also optajack for MLS I follow the BBC sportsound and openallmics feeds, guardian sport is good too and some of the Scottish sports hacks. Jack Wiltshire of arsenal tweets quite a lot as does rio fedinand but can't admit that I've found either that interesting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 At the moment I have 5 opta ones (UK, France, Portugal, Spain and German - no Italian?) plus retro_mbm which has a load of old football videos. I've just followed Graham Speirs too. I'll probably look up the BBC ones later then. I noticed Wilshere's and quite a few other Arsenal players were on his page too, but none of them looked very interesting so I just avoided them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Spiers annoys me a bit. Gabriel Marcotti is on there as well, he can be interesting sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
