i don't mean to be thick, but your friend's remark is exactly what I read in an ad for Twitter. I still don't understand what "learn things" means as what I got was you " learn" maybe that someone is a secret Todd Rundgren fan or something.
And what I would like to understand is if one opens an account...then I presume that means ONLY those you invite to be part of your Twitter family can post? My assumption is as a tool for groups of friends or colleagues geographically separated it provides a running open comms channel. --- On Wed, 1/4/09, Catherine Hunt <[email protected]> wrote: From: Catherine Hunt <[email protected]> Subject: [sussex_mug] Re: twitter and tweet To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 1 April, 2009, 11:09 PM I too was unable to see the point of Twitter. I opened an account about a year ago, posted a few tweets, and then stopped. A friend of mine told me that he liked using Twitter, because he could follow people he was interested in, and find out about new things. So, I tried this, and over the past few months I've started using it more and more. I find it very easy to use, now that I have an iPhone, because I can post something immediately. And, yes, I've even learnt stuff! (I'm trying hard not to become addicted, though).
