Twitter

[Pauline]

OK so, I've given in to the urge!!

I think I've just about mastered it, now all I need are some followers

It's not a personal thing, more for bringing forum members/potential members together, ideal if ever the forum was off line to ask what is happening etc. ?? Who knows?

[hello kitty]

I've only just cottoned on to Facebook Pauline, give me time and I'll get there with Twitter too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
I know nothing about twitter! How does it work then??

[hello kitty]

Oooh, I think I'm a follower!

[Pauline]

I've had a message saying you are following me Kitty but you don't show up in the 'followers list' perhaps it takes time to update?

Holly - don't ask me

[Polly2]

But you are the computer queen!!

But you are the computer queen!!

I don't know EVERYTHING

Ok this is how it works. You join and can post a short message, you can follow other users and see what they are saying, or they can follow you and see what you are say.

I thought it might be handy to add a few messages especially if there was ever a problem with the forum, members would be able to go there and have somewhere to chat with me/ask questions/find out what the problem is. If you see what I mean?

Hey I'm learning fast

[Polly2]

Excellent! I will have another look

If you download Tweetdeck and use that to view Twitter it makes it easier to follow conversations/tweets.

[Pauline]

Thanks Chell, you can be out resident Twitter expert

[Pauline]

Mmmm I've got loads of messages saying people are following me yet I have only 1 follower showing?

[Chell]

No, I'm no expert, I'm always pressing the wrong thing!

If you use Facebook and Twitter then you can get an application on Facebook (in the Facebook search put in Twiiter and you'll find it) so that when you Tweet it updates your facebook status too.

Oh gosh, I've got the day off today - I can see myself spending it being a twit

I've not ventured into Facebook land

At the top it shows how many followers you have but it seems there is a problem which they are trying to fix, numbers are not updating.

Pauline, can you see me following you? . . . not sure I have done it right . . . all this technology . . . only good when it works for you
