I'm on Twitter and love it. I prefer it to facebook actually as it's less fuss.

Twitter is really handy for work, spoken about it all too many times, and don't want to bore you with it!

@Bee shall follow you back :)

Off topic I know, just noticed @Bee and @Jezebel you have the same cat names? Wow - what are the chances of that?!


I know!! Great minds think alike I say  ;)

Tatty - I am under @Oral_B on Twitter, you should see me in your followers now, but feel free to abandon me if I bore he hell out of you!!  :)

I know, :Crazy: !

Our cats are very different though, mine are two middle-aged ladies (some pics if you want to see them: http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,37812.msg668967.html) whilst Bee's are young debutantes!

Well, I thought I should wade in and say I AM ON TWITTER!
I love it  :) I think the key is not to follow too many people, Basically I reall only follow friends plus the off smattering of things like festivals or independent magazines... I like to keep my Twitter feed personal. It's more or less just a quick way to flick through and see what everyone else is doing with their day  ;)
I shall add Tatty into the mix!

Thanks for that link Tatty, I don't really use Twitter except for work (and then not very often) - or when I needed to find out whether there were any trains running from my local station last winter!

The guide I used an that I recommend is http://mashable.com/guidebook/twitter/

I use it for work and for me really handy sometimes too!

Someone once said Facebook is for the people you went to school with, Twitter is for the people you wish you'd gone to school with!

I prefer facebook as it helps me interact with friends, school friends or ex colleagues that I am unable to see. twitter is hit and miss, it is really just fb status updates and feels less personal to me. It's like getting a half cup of latte at Starbucks, you feel something is missing.

I then end up following then likes of Denise Welch and think "Why am I here????"

I don't get Twitter either, I just can't work it out, and although I have a FB account I've all but closed it down cos it was freaking me out (being contacted by old flames, long since forgotten and good riddance!) and then being befriended by people I don't know or care to know - brrr makes me shudder.

Maybe we will all need to polish our social media skills in the future, right now? I like this one  :grouphug:

Imagine Twitter as being a biiig room full of people talking. The only difference is you can choose who you listen to, choose the people who listen to you, and talk to either a person individually, or the group as a whole... Still with me?

I'm not even going to compare it to Facebook, as it's *nothing* like it in the slightest. No 'farmville', tagging, etc. Just adults talking to each other in less than 140 characters :)

Not yet... I'm not on FB and have zero desire to be - I've seen the hassle it causes and it seems to take over people's lives! To me the bad outweighs the good and I have enough ways to keep in touch with friends/family ie face to face, phone, text, email, skype etc I'm intrigued by twitter but haven't joined yet as nothing has prompted me too... yet!

Now I have a twitter account but just could not figure out how twitter works LOL...............so do tell me in easy language please  :innocent:

You can have cat flaps put in glass doors but would need a glazier to put it in and cut hole etc  ;D

There are also chip reading cat flaps on the market, I hate collars especially when they are not safety ones, which come off regularily lol

Just wondering if there's anyone else here on Twitter? Merely out of pure curiosity! Tatty has his own twitter account, we're not made, we just used it as a PR tool (you can half tell I'm a social media consultant!!) to get some of our local papers to put it out there that we'd found him, and it made it interesting to our friends to see what he was doing. I of course have my own ;)

Also, whilst I'm here talking about Twitter i really want to have a go at this http://www.instructables.com/id/Tweeting-Cat-Door/ but we don't and can't have a cat flap as we've got a back door made of glass :( Boo!
