Probably not the first time this has been mentioned.

I've just created a new set of tweets for one of my sites so I can keep members more up to date. I always like to give new fads a go to see what all the fuss is about, but this has already boosted interest, members and advertisers. I only set the page up yesterday and I have nearly 20 followers.

Is anyone else here using Twitter for business, or just the usual "put the cat out", "had fish and chips for dinner" type messages?

I joined, couldn't work out how to follow people in a couple of minutes, so left again.

I don't have enough time for my Facebook account let alone telling everybody via twitter how much loo paper I used to wipe my arse this morning. Sorry but I've looked at Twitter and I just don't get it  blink

Edit: I can not believe arse is in the swear filter.

Indeed. No personal details required either = win.

Cheers for the add Rutty. I have a new personal profile (guess the username) which I'm using to follow you, Jee (et al) and... Mr. Stephen Fry.

I quite like Twitter, although I've had to unfollow a few people as I'd check it and it would just be a screen of them. Sad

I've obviously hit the age where I suddenly don't understand stuff. I clicked like mad but couldn't make sense of it so gave up.

I quite like it - although I am not using it for work just for general moments of distraction from work.

Not sure how long it will be before I get bored.

I must admit it does make you feel 'connected'.

Just downloaded the TwitterFon app for my iPhone. There's no escaping it now! biggrin

That's quite a good app. I have tweetie now, as recommended by lots of others, but it's really not that much different to Twitterfon

Ory!  I have heard of this, and only recently caved in to creating a Facebook profile... ummm. When I get the SMF working I will indeed consider this.  It sounds a bit like Plaxo updates, which I tend to switch off as it matters not to be that some strange person who befriended me with one message and never said another word is having supper in a pub in the Bahamas... big grin

But I've heard word that Twitter is both fun and er, fun!   So, yes... one step at a time!

I have to make time to sing you know?   unsure

Much better than Fb, only takes a second to sign-up* and no personal details required.

*hours of your time wasted afterwards. biggrin
