Do you tweet?

[sophiesofa]

Oh good lord. Too late though it's in my belly now, such a shame.

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?

[Moos]

Technically, yes it does. But in no other sense.

Am contemplating a banana and a nectarine. Neither looks as good as the chocolate in the chocolate machine that is in a room behind me, so I cannot see it but I can hear its siren call.

but without twitter how could I post this...

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.

Just read yr message+agree re mic???? what next?@woof

Where ever they lay their bets, that's their home.

One did have a revelation. Twitter has certainly taught a lesson about brevity. Perhaps we could restrict some posters here to the rules of twitter in terms of number of characters?

What do you say Tony, old chap?

[Moos]

I don't use twitter, I'm already tweet enough.

[bigbadwolf]

I don't use twitter, I'm already bitter enough.

Oh Moos, will you eeeeeevvvvvver find it in yourself to forgive me for my predictable faux pas regarding the skeletons in Quids closet. I wont be able to sleep otherwise.

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.

[OutOfFocus]

Moos and others - totally agree. Keep twitter and edf apart.

I don't ise twitter much, ocassionally I ask questions where I dot know a more specifc place. But it annoys me when tweats filter to facebook
