Upper-class Tweet of the year
I've started using Twitter (as you can probably guess from the "tweet feed" on the right-hand side). It's just like the Facebook status update, but better. You can follow what people are doing - and there's a LOT of people using it. I'm currently following Stephen Fry in his travels, he posts just a tad too frequently, but that's better than the alternative. There seems to be a fine balance between those who post almost every tedious daily event ("I'm brushing my teeth!"), and those who post interesting, topical, or entertaining messages. Hopefully I can strike the right balance - apologies if I bore anyone with my bowls-related "tweets" :) If you'd like to become a follower, my username is "pfcc". At my brother's suggestion, I'm using "TweetDeck", a natty bit of software which updates you every minute or so, and lets you post replies / direct messages. Don't be put off by that slightly naff shade of black - you can customise the colours to your heart's content.
