Then you start to become like me. I # subjects that I know will get me followers. Had lunch at JC Le Roux. A bit of clever tagging and I now have JC Le Roux as a follower.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

More than 100 million people, and 50 million tweets a day disagree with you ;)

I don't think you get the point of twitter Rusty. It's not just a status update ;)

Thanks jamin for closing this.

Interestingly enough I actually did a search for 'Twitter' before creating the thread and this one didn't come up?

Be that as it may. Resurrection time.

Who here actually 'tweets'?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

the search function almost requires that you prepend each term with a '+' :/

If that is interesting then you will be simply fascinated to know that a search for the worrd 'Twitter' yields more than one page of results.
This thread was on page 3

I have to agree with rustypups comments about Twitter

I don't bother tweeting much but like Ryan I follow news, cricket and a few friends/interesting people.

Fascinating is right. This search yielded no (significant) returns yesterday, and yet this morning it spews results apace?

Blame it on a typo and move on I guess. Anyway, my question was answered in this thread - also found as a result of this morning's search.
