I am signed up, but the profoundness of my musings can't possibly fit into 140 characters so I stick to my blog and just use it to get updates from a few people really.

When that tune is sung, is there an "y" in there then, between the last two "olés"?

I'm on there. Signed up ages ago but couldn't think what to do with it. Started going on there again after the Japan tsunami, and boingboing.net had a feature about a journalist from the NYT in Japan who was Tweeting about it.
Then started picking up on others Tweeting about the Arab Spring thing.
William Gibson, (@greatdismal), Duncan Jones, (@manmademoon), are a couple of people I follow, along with
Cerys Matthews and Lauren Laverne, but, to be honest, I can go a week or more between visits, and very rarely
post anything, and even then it's usually just a reply to another post.
My Twitter name reflects my online presence perfectly: @phasmainmachina
And if anyone imagines that following me might result in me posting anything insightful, well Satan will
host the Winter Olympics before that ever happens. 😛

I love twitter. Last night I learned that if you live in one of the rather pleasant parts of northern Spain, you shouldn't spill red wine on your carpet, as you won't have the right ingredients to sort it out! 😆

Why else do you think I started following it?

I treat it like a quick dip into a trashy magazine or newspaper combined with some gossip/chat with friends. Some news, some funny stuff and some proper communication. Good for whiling away the times when you would flick through the aforesaid magazines/newspapers.

I'm, surprisingly, 'orena45' on Twunter.

You're way more famous than me Kev (@blackhound), you've done proper bike rides and starred in podcasts as a result and that 🙂

Anyway, my claim to fame is that Twitter legend, Mr Stephen Fry follows me (ok, and 10,000 odd others...but he still follows me)!

I've just followed a few of you lot 😛

I expect there's an occasional "good" tweet amongst the many dull, grumpy or mundane ones! 😛

I don't think I really get twitter. I've had an account for years but never yet seen anything remotely interesting on it other than stuff posted by brian cox, and even then it's sometimes a bit dull. I tried searching for stuff but rarely get anything that relates to what I want to see and often contains a bunch of inaccurate, stupid comments about unrelated nonsense. I feel like I SHOULD like it and it should be a useful resource but I can't help but feel it's about free commercial entity publishing and teenagers waffling ~140 character insults.

i have an account but just doesn't really interest me any more, find G+ seems to offer a bit more interactivity and better linking through to other resources.

I'm on it but have nothing interesting to post...mainly due to me having no life for last 6 months...I used to post a daily post of colour of underwear (and not post anything else) - did that for a fortnight and ended up with about 80 followers - weirdos!

I then did an 'experiment' with some of that shiney hair shampoo - washed one arm in that and the other in soap to see if it made a difference...and I tweeted about that...

Twitter is effectively me talking to my conscience...it doesn't interact when I talk direct to it as I'm THAT boring.

@dick_barton - but seriously, it isn't for the sane, suicidal or intelligent!

@AidanHarding It's interesting when I'm doing something interesting like organising SSUK or racing the Divide. A bit boring when I'm drowning in work (and currently snot, too).

For people to follow @MTFU_Training is funny.

They're very good. @MarkCavendish is worth following as well, even if you're not into road cycling, he tweets some funny stuff.

I only got into it recently when I got a smartphone and only really follow some MTBing mates and some cycling journalists, it's useful for arranging rides and just seeing what's going on in the world of cycling.
If anyone is desperately bored though I went for the highly original name/year of birth: @jameslyon77

I am on Twitter. More of a toilet twitterer though than full time telling the world what i'm up to (when I say world I mean about 23 followers).

Note the 00's are zero's.
