I'm amazed how this twitter thing has caught on so fast.
I won't use it purely for the same reason I won't use Google, Youtube and Facebook etc, in that they are some sort of monopoly (it's just the way I am).
But no doubt it's a good move though and many will find it very useful Stuart

I wish I could come up with such a good idea

Joined Twitter as a means to an end (yes I am one of those spamming Macheist). Not sure about it. I mean I seriously doubt Barack is following me...

You really need to set up an account at tweetlater.com - it will send a friendly message of your creation every time you get a new follower.
Example - "Thanks for following us at AVF. Have you visited our forums at avforums.com?" etc
Also it can be configured to "follow back" - there's nothing worse than following somebody who can't be bothered to follow you in return.

Although i really enjoy reading most of the product reviews on twitter and seeing the vids on youtube and here, any chance of incorporating some other parts of the forums like game reviews and others, we do have blu ray reviews why not gaming reviews its a busy part of the forums
and imo is becoming a fast seliing entertainment conglomerate on its own, Just a thought

Si | We are always looking at ways to extend the content for the forums users. Your suggestion is a good idea and one we have looked at a couple of times. However, it would take a lot of work and luck in finding the right people. It is something that might happen in the future.

Just a thought.

Sorry for the newbie question, What is Twitter? I see it everywhere.
Is it chat like MSN or SN like Facebook, etc   | |
