In theory it shouldn't be too difficult to integrate twitter into the forum's software - a bit like an RSS feed. (I'm not sure it would be effective the other way around given the restriction on message length.)


If someone were set up a twitter account named, say, @edf then those with their own twitter accounts could send twitters to @edf and they would appear on, say, a thread in the Lounge entitled, for want of a name, @edf.


Does the above make sense to anyone else?

Can we all please boycott this horrible idea. Although I enjoy chatting with all the EDF regulars I don't particularly want to know what they're doing every waking minute of the day.


It's bad enough having Quids and Mick Mac bleating on about where and when they should lay their bets.

Social networking right here my friend. Twitter / EDF - little difference (what I bought from the shop thread...?)


Twitter's a good way of spreading the word on small news (e.g. the campaign I'm working on right now) or big news (Iran - and in the case of Iran, was way ahead of the mainstream media). And as for the importance of ego - any more really than look what book I read / music I listen to, I'm really cool. Same thing, slightly different medium.

    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
    • It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
