You may recall I have touched on Twitter here on Mullies once already – see:
So what is this Twitter thing? YouTube knows.
As I described Twitter then:
It is a quick message writing service where you can publish notes that anyone can view. Kind of like a blog page but more like a 'status update'. Those who have used Facebook status updates will know what I mean.
Since that entry I have shown some of you Twitter and we discussed how many prominent people such as celebrities and sports stars are revealing information via Twitter – sometimes when they shouldn’t. As Stan said – it can be a bit like a celebrity gossip channel at times too! After all Oprah did a show about Twitter as well
Since the last post I have found an excellent source of information on Twitter for beginners. It is called the 12 days of Twitter and was write by a well respected online journo called Cali Lewis. Click on the link below to learn more about Twitter and how to use it:
You can use Twitter straight from the web at www.Twitter.com but there are lots of free programs you can use on your desktop instead.
My personal recommendation for the best way to use Twitter is Tweetdeck.
Tweetdeck can include Facebook status updates too so you can get more information in one place if you use both Twitter and Facebook like I do.
If you do sign up to Twitter make sure to follow me - which is like ‘add me as a friend’. My user name is Noblejoker – find me here www.Twitter.com/Noblejoker And send me a message so I can follow you in return
