Bringing up the rear

So today's catch up was Twitter - I skipped Browsers for the time being - but will go back and try them all out.

I was shown the basics of Twitter by a very patient Sarah Lund, she obviously had some well earned down-time.  I have been following several Sot23 things people and a few favourites - Richard Osman for one - who doesn't love #pointless, but I didn't really know what I was doing or why!  However on re-reading the 23 things instructions and following the 'twitter help page' the mist is beginning to rise.

I am still a long way from being proficient but I have begun to uderstand the fun of it all.  It still feels odd to be tweeting when I only have 11 followers :-( But tell me, if I put a #symbol in my tweet can the whole world read my thoughts?  Weird!  I have learnt how to send a direct message  which I hope means that my random stupid thoughts and questions don't appear to all and sundry.  But I am waiting for a reply so only time will tell.

I am now following 29 people but staying fairly quiet myself.  However, the links and connections that all this technology leads you to is amazing.  I followed a link from The Guardian to #Chris Hadfield - a canadian astronaut, currently living in space aboard the International Space Station.  He is tweeting amongst other things pictures of earth from his space station.  They are amazing, one last week even featured Southampton.

Do I appreciate Ric Paul's updates on the football - humm - More of a Leicester Tigers fan myself.
