Not everyone is sat at their desks looking at our front page. Lots of people have pda/phones on them when they are sat on a bus/train/cafe etc and for them a quick twitter feed is a better option. It's quick for us.. we get info to you guys with a couple of clicks on a phone while we are talking to visitors.. and you get a brief taster of what is to appear in more detail with reviews and whatnot on the site and in the mag later. We 'could' just stick to putting everything here but then you'd have to wait until 'tomorrow' for it. Or you can have it right now.. or .. well.. Both! which is sort of what we are doing :-) Damned if you do.. damned if you don't :-) If we didn't twitter at all we'd be asked why we aren't doing it :-) Bottom line.. if you don't like to twitter then don't follow. Wait for it to appear in the mag or on here.

Bottom line.. if you don’t like to twitter then don’t follow. Wait for it to appear in the mag or on here.

I agree its a useful tool but at some point people will stop clicking through. lots of sites have successfully integrated it into their sites, I've just been part of one such project which is probably why its been cheesing me off. anyway... nice hubs +1 for MBMM. at the moment it goes RSS feed > news page > twitter feed > twitter pics. and that’s assuming I can find what i’m supposed to be looking for in the stream of twitter posts starting or ending in LOL.

If you want to display images do it here as podge says. twitter does not work if all you do is put links in to yet another site.
