Tony's Tweets

Text talk also does my head in, but as has been mentioned multiple times, twitter encourages this as you only have a certain amount of characters to get your message across.

Except you're not limited by how many you can send. If you can't fit what you want to say in one, send two.

[Chris Jameson]

He is the only person I follow on Twitter who uses text speak.

I really worry for kids applying for jobs. I know personally that there are people in recruitment that dismiss applications out of hand if there is any hint of textspeak included. Unfortunately it is becoming more prevalent with the Twitter generation.

Especially if like me you are in the Welsh railway station appreciation society.

I'm not big on twitter but do people send two? I thought the whole point of it was to get your message across quickly.

They do but not overly often. For those really wanting to have a rant they tend to go on Twitlonger.

I think it's quite good that he keeps it short and a little indistinct. If he explained himself really fully there'd almost certainly be enough there to hang him with. It's probably a good thing that we can say 'Lost in translation', 'only 140 characters' 'not entirely sure if that was what he meant' - because some of the tweets may have been a little too close to the mark if they were really clear.

On the other hand, it's nice to hear from him regularly saying things like 'be patient', alongside other more opaque tweets saying he's not standing for any nonsense. At present its working quite well I think.

Yep, think your right there

[eamonn]

Amfy is right.

It's not the Twitter generation that use it but the mobile phone generation. My aunty even uses it and I haven't a clue what she means half the time.

Mick Quinn's been on Twitter himself apparently trying to wind up Villa fans ahead of Saturday. Something along the lines of we'd sell out more home games if we looked at them as passionately as we gave him stick.

Can't stand the bloke. Neglects racehorses, has no integrity as he's a Scouser working for Murdoch and tries to wind Villa fans up everytime we play Newcastle because of the 2009 relegation and his Cov links play a part too I'd have said.

yes I guess he's never got over that Boxing Day game where we really did slag him off. Wasn't enough for him to score two that day in a 3-0 Coventry win, he's been on our case ever since.
