Just checked out Guy's twitter page. Not sure I want to be a twitt (some may say I am already one  ;D). I'd feel like a stalker. Of course, people only write what they want to share on it but still, this idea of "following" people (especially well known people) like that makes me feel uncomfortable...

I know Arthur is a twitt, anybody else on the forum? What do you think of it?

I've been on Twitter a few weeks now and right now I think it's rubbish. Have "followed" Guy since I started and I do wonder why he wants to be followed and also why I follow! I agree with that clever girl Nat - it's all a bit strange really. I think I may take myself off of it - what will that make me - a twat?

Facebook works well for me--not for celebrity contact, but for quick and fun communication with people I know.    MySpace just didn't do it for me.  Boring and dangerous.     Twitter seems, as you say, a bit stalk-y.     I think there are other uses though, if like to sit  at the tv and interact with the program that's on.     Hmmm, I think I'll go there now. . . . ;)

I have no idea what 'twitter' is although I've been hearing about it quite a lot lately.  What does that make me?  A nit-wit?? ???

I went to Facebook, invited by someone of you and I like it so much. If you all go to Twitter, I'll follow you my friends, because I would wish to associate with you. But it is getting more and more complacated to be on so many places. I think it's a kind of rivalry between the companies and we all are victims of that. Still don't know where to stay...because I am on myspace, facebook, bebo, hi5...and it is already too much for me... ;D ;D ;D

Glad I am not the only one finding all this a bit strange! Come to think of it, it's the same thing as facebook but the term "following" people, rather than be "friends" with them is a bit creepy. On facebook you can choose who you are "friends" with, on twit, anybody can "follow" you... strange. Too strange for me anyway, I'll stay clear of it.

I don't know Slavi, I thought I had. I was not replying to you in particular in my last comment.

Can't be arsed with Twitter. I already spend too much time farting about on the intermeweb. Seems I've spent more than three days of my life on this site alone!

Dusty, I feel the same as you!  I noticed with horror that I have spent nearly 9 days on this site!   :o  It could be due, of course to the fact that I forget it's on and then mow the lawn, go for a walk, make the dinner, etc.!  At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!  ;D

All your comments make me laugh!  ;D

Because a few friends asked me to join at Facebook, I became curious and became a member a few weeks ago.  I have been looking around a few times, BUT........I still don't know how it works and just like everybody I am tooooooo buuuuuusy to visit there every day!

Besides the forum at my site at internet radio station Audiocandy.com and the site of a friend I joined since 2003, I hardly have time for this site MKnews or read at Guy's forum! I even sometimes don't have time to respond mails. It's terrible and I miss you all, but I have to make choices.

So no Twitter, Facebook or other sites like that for me! ;D
