    Re: From my experience

    I used to read Lance Armstrong's tweets but got bored after two days - it didn't really give me the incentive to join.

    I think some people really can't be trusted to engage on a social website that is not exactly anonymous.

    Re: From my experience

    In old CB parlance everyone's handle starts with @. So you will be @Kev_B or whatever you've called yourself. It's kind of your address. Stephen Fry, the famous Twitter user, is @stephenfry. Gally, who runs this BBS, is @G4lly.

    The # (hashtag) is something you can stick on the end of a Tweet to refer to what subject you're talking about.

    examples

    Paul Merton is so funny #HIGNFY

    Someone who makes the above Tweet is referring to the fact that they are watching Have I Got News For You.

    Xavi is excellent tonight #Euros

    and so on....

    It appears to me that people did notlisten to the usual advice when leaving school. i.e Now remember, whatever you do, don't be a sheep (another word for follower) Be you own man/woman!!!!

    I think I can match you in the lack of tweets stakes

    In fact I really don't like it when people follow me. It's creepy.

    But in response to this thread, for me, following people on Twitter is a bit of a perversion of what it's really about. What it does give is the ability to selectively listen, via the search function, to millions of people all over the world. If you want to know about an event that's currently happening, Twitter will give you info at a speed that journalists and reporters cannot hope to match. Whether that info is accurate is another matter but at least there's an indication of credibility if enough people are writing the same thing. Wondering whether to make a trip to some event? Twitter might tell you whether it's been cancelled, how busy it is, what the traffic's like and what people think of it in general.
