Does anybody use Twitter?
I don't but I do use facebook...I started about 18 months ago. I refused to use it until then as I had a lot of concerns about the privacy aspect and wanted to wait until I had time to research it properly.
I'm happy with facebook as I keep on top of the security aspect (I use very few apps on there as they usually insist on being able to pretend they are you and post things as if it was you posting)
But I've never used twitter and tbh I don't really 'get' how to use it.
I understand the premise - short messages that are seen by anyone that 'follows' you, and you see messages that are sent by anyone that you follow - but this whole @ and # (hashtag) system is lost on me.
I did read that a good way to think of twitter is like a pub chat...with people that are not in the same physical location. You say (tweet) something and everyone else sees it and can answer, and everyone sees that....and so on.
Of course as others follow others this group gets bigger.
I don't know what happens for instance if I tweet something and you are following me so you see it...you reply...does someone that is not following me but is following you see your message?
Anyway, I know lots of funsters use facebook but don't know about twitter...so I thought I'd put up a poll to see who uses what.
Please feel free to just vote in the poll but also to reply
