I know I've had 6 different "Twitter is now following you" emails since the 23rd on one of my GoogleMail.com accounts, and I have no idea why.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

I don't much like how the internet lately seems to have become a universe of must have/use fad sites, like rubiks cubes, hula hoops and furbys in a school playground.

At the moment anyway.
Its probably more appealing if you want to keep control of your privacy and you have been busted for joining the "I like to sniff my Mother-In-Laws panties when I visit her house" group* in the past.
Its probably appealing for people who live lives that are not completely predictable on a day to day basis and want to keep people informed of what they are up to. It seems a bit more user-friendly for providing that service than FB does because it is a lot slimmer.
I signed up, but noone else I know has, so I haven't bothered. I am not interested in following the day to day activities of someone else that I have never met, even if it is Mr Fry.
There is a short clip on the bbc website:

I like the moment where he flinches when he starts a sentence that he realises mid-way should be more technical and he's out of his depth, but a good effort though.
*I made that up. I have no idea if it really exists. I hope not.Last edited by Gonzo; 26 January 2009, 22:12.Comment
