Radion Station 2CC farts their way in to Twitter-ing (Tweeting) Online

Ha! That’s assuming I would ever say anything interesting. 😉

Oh I follow people too, it’s just that focusing on that can mean others miss some of the other benefits of twitter.

Maybe I should pay closer attention to your twitter posts in the future though willozap?

I know it was only on here last week, but:

“…So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war; the only thing you can get was those big yellow ones.”

As far as Kaydo’s post, I really think it is missing the point to follow regular mainstream media on twitter (ABC news etc). Follow people – they’re a hell of a lot more interesting, and a hell of a lot more likely to take you to interesting places.

I also enjoy Facebook more than Twitter but I can see how both have their place. Twitter is better for broad dissemination of information, such as in the bushfires I think.

Facebook has more content and is more fun, but it’s not as responsive as Twitter.

Some one said that Twitter is the thing that’ll replace Facebook. Pig’s arse it will! Facebook is actually rather useful. People I’ve lost contact with all over the world are suddenly back in contact, due to FB. The various silly activities on it are annoying, but the size of it, ease of use and number of people on it, of all ages, is great.

Oh I don’t know JB … a lot of folks initially thought the same thing about Facebook … and look how that has taken off!

Hey, I like the ABC news one!

It’s 2CC here that’s useless, not twitter.

It’s still an emerging platform, but here’s some useful local feeds (I’m not one of them):

You can probably find more by searching for Canberra stuff here; http://nearbytweets.com/

A very sensible and succinct assessment of Twittering there, JohnBoy.
