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.

    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
    • Someone had a worse day than you. Be grateful not to be involved.
    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
