Twitter and things of the sort.

I guess this is aimed more at the forum as a whole but hey. So anyone made Twitter group for Frost*. I mean I know that Jem has but that's personal one. Just curious if anyone would take that sort of undertaking or already has. I have a feeling though, from the start it would be derailed very quickly  :mrgreen:  but it could be something fun. So what does everyone think of a Frost* or Frostie* Twitter?

My vote would be not.

I'm not sure what its reason for it existing would be. What would anyone get if they followed it?

And who would update it? Twitter doesn't really do 'groups', so it's either a select few or just a free-for-all.

Jem is the source of official announcements, of which there aren't many, and if the rest of us want to discuss anything we'd come here. Plus, like many, I'm a different person on here from the person out in the wider web, where I have clients and colleagues that follow me.

I guess if we have important frost-related stuff and want to find eachother, we can just use #frost in the tweet. I think I did a few #summersend08 ones last year.

Grumpy but right, IMO.

Umm what the point of twitter, never really got my head round it from the few times I've looked I couldn't make sense of it :?

It's quite jolly if you've got mates on it. And quicker than blogging. Which reminds me I must give VFTC a bit of love this week.

I'm quite enjoying it too, it's nicely chatty. But then, I never really got into Facebook so what do I know?

I've got enough to worry about without having to get to grips with this Twitter thing as well.
Honestly, I swear I was born in the wrong generation...  :?

[Sean]

Well that went over like a lead balloon.... Oh well  

[Pedro]

Well I guess there's nothing to set up over there so just follow whoever and we'll look out for you.

Twitter can be a fun and quick way of catching snippets of what's going on out there...
Although can't think how some people get the time...like Immi (Heap) following
>20,000 people!! mind blowing......and the video version, called 12 Seconds ....where does it end ....maybe we start one called 'WORD'  ...just allowing a single word only!!..lol

Looking forward also to Jem giving "VFTC some love" ...missin' the video blog entries

Have a great week out there. 8-)

I'm quite enjoying tweeting. Quite good fun and taking my mind of the horror that is working for a bank thee days (please don't hate me   )

Anyway, you need to let Twitter sort of hang around your desktop and sink into your consciousness. I couldn't see the point as first (http://gable-end.blogspot.com/2009/01/w ... doing.html) but it's quite cool once you get into it.

Tomskerous is right that it doesn't lend itself to groups per se, but I guess there is a clump of like minded peeps revolving in their kind of separate, err orbits, around, Frost*ies etc on twitter, or something...

So join up. What've you got to lose (apart from any hope of doing what you;re supposed to be doing)

I use TweetDeck and it's easy to make my own Frosties* group, so I can see what everyone is up to.
