This post is primarily aimed at members who are already using twitter and not about the pro's and con's of it.
We had a discussion about twitter and its relevance to MHFun a year or so ago. I use twitter all the time, mainly as a tool to keep abreast of local information, as an example during the recent poor weather our local police and road agencies used it heavily to advise about road closures etc. Surely this has a crossover possibility for us members of this site. We are based all over the UK and into Europe, the potential for a dedicated twitter network based on MHF, updating fellow members about weather, sites, crime, ferry crossings, MH related problems whilst on the move etc, seems like a no-brainer.
The advantage of twitter is because each user is linked into their own networks, they can quickly pick up info thats useful and retweet to MHF members. We all have a shared interest, so we know whats useful and what isn't.
Jim advises me that the site already has a dedicated twitter name - @mhfun So initially those who are interested should follow that name, which would be the hub. Then its really down to members to pass on info, probably using the #mhfun tag. Incidentally Jim already has 260 odd followers!
My own twitter is: @jimmykranke
If it fails miserably, no problem, better to have tried...blah blah blah :thumb:
