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.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
