Cheryl's stil mei feivrit leik tho man.

Hi Tom, like you we/I ignored twitter, I suppose
1. not least because our phones are not internet-enabled
2. because it didn't seem as good as more wordy tools we use from the PC for accessing & sharing good info

However, I was suggested to us we joined to publicise the +Ryanair +Sardinia debacle (if you search +Ryanair +Sardinia on twitter you see what we mean), and we have. This will be a good test of its usefulness.

cheers, hope you are getting some climbing done despite the weather in the UK

Doesn't sound too bad if they won't show except in search results, for now.

[Jaspersharpe]

I don't think it's a big deal at all. In fact it's a good thing that they've worked out a way to make it financially viable without too much intrusion.

Trending music is likely to be really bad!

[slackline]

Yes, its "holding" (although technically its on their domain "twitter.com" anyway).

I'm not so sure trending music will be a bad thing, providing its based on who you are following and not done in a generic manner.

OOOh! does that mean lots of Justin Beiber then? I'm excitied

Thought this was a really good read and made some very good points...

Co-ordinated bullying by comedians.

Twitter Music Launched rolling out on the desktop and iFern only at present & powered by iTunes, Spotify and Rdio in the background.

@tomtom : you need not worry its based on who you follow & engage with so you'll be fine and won't miss out Beiber

Co-ordinated bullying by comedians.

 It's quite interesting seeing peoples real personalities appear through Twitter.  There's a chap who writes a guardian column about Science and has had a couple of major hits with books about bad science and bad pharmaceuticals  who I used to think had an interesting view on the matters but on Twitter he came across as a smug blinkered self satisfied narcissistic individual, like many celebrities.  Just shows how much self censorship goes into writing for the press, TV and radio and the value of good editors.  Also, who gives a shit what comedians have to say?

The opposite of myself... A nice guy on twitter but a smug arrogant tool in my publications

No one, but its appalling when they enlist their followers to bully others who have criticised or disagreed with them and just as bad if not worse than the trolling Richard Bacon investigated in The Anti-Social Network.
