Get me - I'm only on fucking Twitter

Yes, you did hear that right.  Despite my reservations about the impact and longevity of some social meeja channels (I'm not the only one, even Marketing Week magazine are at it), in the interests of a balanced rant I have signed up for a Twitter account.

Some of my best friends are on Twitter, and they're really quite intelligent (mostly), rather than sheep blindly trying to keep up with the latest trend for fear of looking outdated.  And I must say, anything that allows me to stalk my grump hero Charlie Brooker is a good thing.  Which reminds me, congratulations to Charlie for the recent announcement of his engagement to Konnie Huq - that is one headline that I didn't see coming!

Anyway, back to the world of 140 character life updates.  I suspect that I will tend to follow comedians, journalists etc. who will have amusing tweets (get me with the lingo kids), rather than tweeting to the world what I am having for breakfast.  I might even get to the level of uptweeting from my blog (thanks to WorldCupGirlfriend for that - she is my online svengali - JS you have created a monster).  P.S. Check out her blog - the list of obscure brand links to the World Cup is fucking awesome - the Food Standards Agency link is particularly jaw dropping.

OK back to this blog (Jesus, I'm like a 5 year old on Ritalin today - apologies for that).  If you would like to follow me on Twitter you can use the handy button to your right.  And if you have any suggestions of who I should be following please get in touch - I need all the help I can get.
