Oi! Mick Talbot!

Just wondered how you were getting on in the Twittersphere?

I mainly want to know if you looked at the people I suggested, and if you thought they were funny?

[Ric.ror]

I'm on twitter
I loves it

[EvianBaby]

Congratulation Ric, on being the first person on this website to say that ;)

I can't get my head round Twitter, I have an account but really don't get how it works.

[ummmm]

Same.

I think it does take most people a while to get their head around it but I'm addicted to it.

You just find people you're interested in and see what they say.

I did start off following celebs and musicians I like but frankly they tend to be self centred bores or have some minion running their account and just post personal stuff so now they're all gone and I just follow people who are incredibly funny.

[EvianBaby]

I meant promotional, not personal.

[rockyracoon]

How do you find them though? And what does # mean and how do you use @.

[rockyracoon]

Evi, can you give us a tutorial ;0)

[MadMen]

I gave it a good go, and stayed on there for almost a year. I still feel the same.

It's only 'interesting' if you are one of those self-absorbed 'celebs'.

[MadMen]

Aghhhh! Don't start with the blimmin 'hashtag'.

Where's JJ when you need her.... :)

[EvianBaby]

Most of the ones I now follow are because someone else retweeted something of theirs so I started following.

# is hashtag. If someone uses # then you can click on that and see every other tweet using that hashtag. So there's a trend at the moment of #readingfc. If you wanted to see what people were saying and join in talking about whatever it is you just use that same hashtag.

@ are to send tweets directly to specific people (but they're not private).

[EvianBaby]

You are WRONG Madmen. WRONG!!!!! ;)

[Sharingan]

I love Twitter, funny, dives eand a great networking tool. Awesomes.

[Sharingan]

I hate my laptop it misses letters -Diverse

[rockyracoon]

Right, just been on there again and have come to the conclusion that I'm think as a brick, I'm sticking to Pinterest!

[Mick-Talbot]

Sorry, Evian, only just spotted this.

I put them all on my follow list and well .....nothing magical happened I'm afraid.

Twitter is full of talkers without the ability to listen.
