KFR42 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I heard about this this morning when Tim Lovejoy was talking about it on SFTW. Whats the difference between this and facebook etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Basically, Twitter is just the "status updates" part of Facebook. The main difference being, you follow certain people and have your mobile set to receive their updates, as well as updating your own in that liberated way. So wherever you or they are in the world, you'll always know exactly what they're up to as soon as they do. Another marvellous step towards the post-privacy world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted January 25, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've been on it for a while now. My Twitter user name is the extremely imaginative http://twitter.com/martinbean. Â I use it as part of my everyday web surfing, and handy for a web developer as I have various folks from the web field on my "following" list so I'm always up to date with interesting links, developments, new technologies, etc. Â Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross are both on it, and it was in fact mentioned during Ross's return show last Friday.

Paid Members Psygnosis Posted January 25, 2009 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 Its basically Facebook status without annoying twats asking for movie quiz's or throwing pillows at you. Â John Cleese is on it, and he's hilarious on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

textonly Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've been a member for about five days and I love it so far. Basically it's a good outlet for talking about little things I wouldn't deem worthy of actual blog entries. Things like, "Commentary! The Musical has got me playing Ninja Ropes. I swear I have never been worse at any game EVER. http://tinyurl.com/2vdb9d" or "Note to self: Don't watch medical drama with your mother on her deceased father's birthday. Watching people dying starts the crying." Just random shit-talk you'd have with your friends, but across the internet the second it pops into your head. It's cool.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted January 27, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2009 Wow, theres a little thing called TweetDeck which is a handy little tool, saves you constantly going onto the site. Â I use Twhirl. It's an Adobe AIR application, sort of like a desktop widget that I can minimize to the system tray, but still alerts me to new tweets, direct messages etc like Windows Live Messenger.
