The problem with the internet.....

They said on the radio that Twitter is more addictive than cigArette smoking. I reckon GN is more so.

I have never got to grips with Twitter - I go and have another foray on the site from time to time and still none the wiser!

As much as I complain about it I would find life difficult without the Internet. I use it all the time for so many things... Never tried or been tempted by twitter ...

Now my grandson-in-law has recommended Ted.com! 1

Ted.com ... Excellent! You'll be gone for a long time Greatnan...have fun!

I finally caved in and signed on to Twitter about a month back... I check regularly several times a day. I still don't get it...

Thank goodness it is not just me!!

I did the same feetle and I'm no wiser either. It just seems inane (without the banter)

You have to find the right people to follow. Then it can be very interesting. And even enlightening.

I can't 'do' Twitter. I've tried but I still have no idea how it works. Facebook is great for keeping in touch with the family.

I just got this joke off of Twitter:

Why does lettuce send people to sleep?

Cos.

The Prime Minister just tweeted this:

It's been a privilege talking to the men and women serving Britain in Helmand on Armed Forces Day pic.twitter.com/xEEufyLwzD

And you can pick up stuff like

I am hopeless with twitter as well. Signed up but don't really "do" it. As for TED talks, Greatnan, they are fabulous. You will be gone for a long time.

I enjoy twitter, although one of the men I follow had a bit of a hissy fit lately, saying that tweeting has all the impact of f....ting in the Grand Canyon. I know what he means {grin]

j08 I think you just proved my point

Sigh!

Well, I like it!

So who is good to follow then? I've tried a few people but nobody seems interesting so far.

It all depends what you are interested in Ella. Searching for topics with a hashtag will show you all the recent tweets on that subject, and you might find someone interesting to follow that way.

Perhaps I should add that 2 of my favourites are the author Margaret Atwood and Jay Rayner the food critic.

JO 8 that made me laugh !

Thanks vegas I didn't know I could do that.

Ella just put Colin Morgan in the search box. Go on - you know you want to!

Do you need to have a smart phone - not an ancient pay as you go? I signed up to follow some people but I have to log on to twitter and check them. I thought twitter, like facebook, would email you when people you follow update. Certainly haven't worked up the courage to tweet - and anyway who would be interested in my life - it is very dull. Want to be modern and with it but not quite getting it!
