Anyone use it? I've been on a few months and i've got one random follower. 

Anyhoo, I'm DavidJG80 for any fellow N-O Twitterers.

What is the craic with Twitter is it like a new facebook?

[Jill]

I signed up but I reckon it's utter s****.

It's really a bit like Facebook, if all Facebook consisted of was status updates.

Pretty crap really but i signed up out of curiosity.

Same here, not really been back on much since. Facebook is a bit naff at times, but handy for keeping in touch with my mates and hardly any of them are on Twitter.

I think i'll pass on Twitter - do all the famous people use it?

Quite a few, yeah.

I have to say though I usually find this kind of thing utterly banal, reading the comments of the genuinely famous is relatively intriguing.

The club takeover thread should be re named  Twatter.

[Sewelly]

s****.

Speaking of famous people's comments: yesterday, I stumbled onto Kevin Smith's blog. I'm not a huge fan, but he has easily the frankest blog I've ever read of someone in the movie biz. The long story of Jason Mewes' (Jay) heroin addiction is a great read.

Edit. Story begins here, btw, very good read: http://silentbobspeaks.com/?m=20060328

Most of Andy Murray's seem to be about forfeits, or his Fantasy Football team.

You people need to read articles on why twitter is amazing, and its nothing to do with Lily Allen.

Can you not just tell me? I still don't understand the fuss.

Do you use RSS feeds at all?

Basically that, but with social networking aspects of sharing articles/tid-bits.

So, who do you follow? I mean, honestly, I couldn't give a f*** about what Stephen Fry's last s*** was like.

Mainly technology and web development things. People/Websites who post up links to various articles
Breaking news (how I got there first on the Michael Jackson heart attack thread!)
BBC & Telegraph Football (results / articles / rumours)
NUFC
I CAN HAZ CHEESEBURGER
Friends
Digg top 20
Ben Folds
iPhone dev team
FIFA losers
Johnny Cupcakes
oh, and Stephen Fry

If anything interested me, I would retweet it to my followers (friends) or if I thought anything was of interest to a specific person I'd inform them.

How do you ask someone you follow a question? Unless they follow you it seems impossible tbh.

"The dog don't like you planting stuff there. It's his backyard. If you're the only one who shits in something, you own it. Remember that."

I'll never forget that nugget as long as I live.

Just start your tweet with "@theirname" and it'll go to them.
