Prefer it to FB as both a social network and a means of sharing information (and bad jokes). I've also un-warmed to the invasive aspects of FB.<br /><br />At first Twitter was a bit of a mystery, but the fog is clearing. I only just found out that 'threads of conversation' (@replies) can be followed (on 'new' Twitter) by clicking the word bubble. I also like the 140 character limit, which is a breath of fresh air after reading one of Thomas's posts. Funny, but I like that Blogger comments don't have a 140 character limit ;) It depends on who one follows as to how useful/entertaining it is. I'll keep following you as long as you limit the jokes to 3 good ones a day.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-91732212116408170852011-04-11T06:34:23.498+09:002011-04-11T06:34:23.498+09:00I find that I follow two groups of people that mak...I find that I follow two groups of people that make me wonder about my personality. (I follow lots of local people as well but for different reasons). The two groups I follow are the American 'get out there and do it - you're the best!' types and the cynical, sceptical and sarcastic British. They're very funny and things like Tommy Cooper and Viz Top Tips are piss myself laughing funny - as only the English are. <br /><br />I also find the pro cyclists better than the distance runners at tweeting. Ryan Hall is all God, Sonia O'Sullivan and Paula Radcliffe are just boring - like your mother tweeting about doing the washing - while people like Cadel Evans and Nicholas Roche are great at delivering a 140 character summary of the pain.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739196746383254321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-32183763264394195222011-04-11T02:10:27.481+09:002011-04-11T02:10:27.481+09:00I'm sure Ewen would say " if you wear you...I'm sure Ewen would say " if you wear your girlie arm warmers on stage at the comedy open night, you're go down a storm"!<br />Some of your jokes are very funny and some go down like lead balloons.<br />Keep working at it.<br />Maybe you can buy the e-book 'Be a stand up comedian in a 100 days program' :]RICK'S RUNNINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836338956751369408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-52755234387965011652011-04-10T21:13:46.603+09:002011-04-10T21:13:46.603+09:00Thanks Bob,

Keep plugging away and you may achieve greatness in one or the other, maybe even both!TokyoRacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293712044402763377noreply@blogger.com
