Nice one. I'll follow.

Twitter is addictive and can be a very good source of information (if you are following the right people/companies).

For AVFC related stuff, I also follow

@JUANPABLOANGEL

In terms of using twitter. If you've got an iPhone then Twittelator Pro is by far the best App.

Tweetdeck is brilliant for a desktop app. The Twitter website is shite.

Me too. Still open at our place.

To be honest though, the website is totally gash and using it on the iPhone & Blackberry makes it miles easy. Probably wouldn't use it if it was narrowed down to just the twitter site.

Personally I think it's superb.

I've got lots of football writers on mine, get the info way before it hits websites and radios etc.

Lots of good Villa news sites.

People seem to have ignored it, thinking its similar to Facebook.

It's nothing like it.

You can even add me :)

Fearne Cotton, Dave? Really? REALLY?! Oh dear...

I think the only person in the entire world I'd be interested in following on twatter is @therealsjgreen. But only if he does updates of the sort of story he told me immediately before the FAC semi-final of his previous evening's unplanned merriment.

Otherwise, for the time being, I think I'll still pass. So that's another one out the way for you PTV!

I got a NASTY message from someone for making fun of Sarah Palin.  I was confused.  They really went at me too.

I got to be honest, it didn't make me like her any more than I did before.

I am bad at finding people, but I am on it as @pall_good
If anyone can find me, I would love to follow them.  It can get boring sometimes, as I feel like I am making a speech to an empty room...

More wise words from  Big Sam: (http://twitter.com/TheBig_Sam)


Quote
"Phil Brown has invited me to a 'musical summer BBQ'. The invite has a pic of him wearing a snood and playing a harp. Might give it a miss."


And:

Quote
"I'd be an ace werewolf, but my identity would be discovered. How many other lycanthropes would have a Bluetooth headset & a gob full of gum?"


Even our very own  MON (http://twitter.com/martoneill) seems to have caught the bug:

Quote
"Liverpool's future is Huanging in the balance. Thank you I'm here all week, Milner wont be."
