I read everything.

Unless it's limited to 140 characters of gibberish.

Power is knowledge.

Actually, knowledge without knowing how to apply it is pretty weak and pointless.

Is that what you plan to write at the top of your exam papers?

You'd get a better score if you make sure you spell your name correctly, I believe that can gain you an extra two points!

I don't see very much need to talk about my education in this thread.

Give over girl, if your going to come out with jokes that knock me onto the floor and cause me to spit my coffee out, could you give a 2 post warning?

No, coffee is bad for you. Better out than in.

Nearly everything we post and say is now being copied to Twitter.

Personally I would have liked to have been asked if my posts could be duplicated on another site.

Anyone else any thoughts?

Can we ask who's doing it?

Interesting. I can say that the above twitter account is nothing to do with me.
The official accyweb twitter account can be found at accyweb (accyweb) on Twitter and it has been running for quite a while, happily only posting stuff from general chat. As you can see if you view the official account it has quite a few followers. It also pulls in quite a bit of traffic to the site.

So I am doing one account, and it is used for promoting our website. I also advertise on google, facebook and many other social media type websites. I hope that is ok with you?

Since I have to post my threads in Anything Goes more often than not, I don't mind at all

My only comments were that Twitter is no longer hip and current, but rather passé, as witnessed by the supplied latest demographic figures.

That's why I personally don't tweet.

Standards of hipness.

Thanks Roy .. for clearing that up .. i behave in general chat!!!

Strangely, since this thread I've had several emails saying some Accywebbers are now following me. So I 'followed' a few people back and then got bored again.

I don't really understand the point of it to be honest, as it isn't really any good for communicating with people.

'David Cameron has ordered Conservative candidates to clear their remarks made on the social networking site Twitter with head office. Very clearly, this undermines the only commendable thing about Twitter — its immediacy and spontaneity'

'Cameron is presumably worried that his constrained candidates will use Twitter for the occasional right-wing spasm, such as “I hate homos!” or “Round up the gypos!” or “Why can’t we lower taxes?”

'The Tory leader is not a great fan of Twitter and once said during a radio interview “too many Tweets might make a ****”, for which he had to apologise — although it seems to me the only salient and useful point he has made in the past two years'
