[backstage] Twittering on
Apparently, there are complaints about how much air time twitter is being given by the BBC: http://thenextweb.com/2009/02/09/bbc-radio-listeners-kick-fuss-twitter-time-bbc-create-microblogging-service/ -- Frank Wales [fr...@limov.com] - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

The really cool kids are on both right? Surely it's the same as when Radio presenters couldn't help but chat about there Myspace pages all the time? Every bar I go into now a days, there's talk about Youtube, Facebook and sometimes Twitter anyway.

Re: [backstage] Twittering on
Actually a lot of tweeters complain about the likes of Chris Moyles et al moving into twitter!

Re: [backstage] Twittering on
I have to admit that I generally don't see the point of twitter. Having said that though, this recent spell of cold weather has actually made me like it, mostly because the university I go to have been updating us on whether the uni is closed via twitter (http://twitter.com/UniofBath), and also the local bus company have been doing the same ( http://twitter.com/bathcsc). Much easier and nicer than constantly going back to a web page with the service status on (or going out and waiting for an hour for a bus that never turns up). Personally I think it is things like that which will bring twitter to the mainstream, especially when combined with it's ease of use on mobile devices.

Re: [backstage] Twittering on
for me I have made some excellent connections via twitter both for work purposes and for personal. I now have a modest number of followers and I follower an equal number of people. I have connected on a social level with Greeks/Cypriots around the globe who are interested in Web 2.0, twitterers in my region and people who are interested in our Second Life work. In fact on a better scale than linked in. I also, I have to admit, follow the likes of Stephen Fry and @wossy. I even followed Russell Brand just to see how quickly his number of followers would rise over the hour, two hours and 24hrs etc. I'm now connected to a wider audience of people which reflect my interests and my local community and have in turn met some of them either in Second Life and in Real Life. As a result of a twitter we found out that we'd been mentioned in dispatches by a presenter at an Ideas Performance event, I twittered back who then asked me to write a blog post. As fortune would have it I was meeting the client for a coffee and between the two of us we responded http://ideaperformance.com/2009/01/27/birmingham-and-second-life/ all within an hour of the first tweet. Now thats what I call magic! Soulla :) 2009/2/9 Rob Myers r...@robmyers.org Duncan Barclay wrote: I have to admit that I generally don't see the point of twitter.

Re: [backstage] Twittering on
Feel strongly that the BBC should use something else instead of Twitter, how about voting or offering your support here. http://ideas.welcomebackstage.com/ideatorrent/idea/16/ Cheers, Ian - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] Twittering on
I must admit I took one look at identi.ca and came straight out again. It just looks messy compared to twitter. Perhaps I should take a second glance. Saying that my twitter feeds my facebook page and I generally don't go into facebook anymore although when I do I get a number of messages from people who have responded to a comment I've made on twitter not on facebook! :) PS Morning all.
