Read a book, a much better use of your time TBH.

Twitter's ace.

Have a look at the people that you @reply to and who @reply to you and see who they @reply to, then follow those.

I know of certain millionairekat who fight mongoose wrong-doings as Knightkat. He very mysterious and handsome fellow.

Otherwise it's utter tosh.

Twitter is great. If you think somebody is an arsehole you just have to stop following them... unlike here 😉

I signed up for some bizarre reason - that now either simply escapes me or was so irrelevant it's been deleted from memory - & was instantly awarded 20 randoms that I was apparently following.
I kept deleting them but they kept coming back to stalk me 😮

Probably OK if you're 15 or something, I reckon

The average user is probably much older than that. Most students have no idea what it is.

woody2000, Dobbo - Reading a book better than using Twitter?

Well that depends very much on the book, doesn't it?

Like books, Twitter is just a medium. You can read rubbish on it, or good, insightful, clever stuff. Your choice of people to follow is much like your choice of books. It's up to you.

organic355 - My recommendation is Brant. If you like his take on things, he's @shedfire. And if you don't like his take on things, you don't follow him.

(uplink - "They keep coming back"? You shouldn't have to follow anyone. If they follow you, you don't have to follow them. Check you don't have autofollow switched on.)

@shitmydadsays - is funny as fk

@tferriss - is useful if you are in business

IMO nothing else has ever been worth reading, including my crap - its mostly lots of people trying to sell to people trying to sell to them, while the real customer is getting on with life.

@formerlyCwalken - someone posting in the style of Christopher Walken. Very obscure indeed, but funny.

I have started using twitter as a business tool as an experiment, as i see it, just another way of getting and distributing information.

I use it to let people know what beers are on in the pub, we get through a lot of beers 😀 [url= http://twitter.com/replies ]theravenofbath[/url]
and to let everybody know when we're out for a ride. [url= http://twitter.com/replies ]teamravenbath[/url]
Can't say I follow many people.
