Wouldn't that open up a whole hoard of personal info? Or is it just a yes/no question?

No from me, but Stephen Fry is.

Edit - along with 55k other people Smile

I'm on it, I joined recently to experiment, although that's a "real life" thing so I'm not posting any details of it here.

I am on....Never use it. And it doesn't open up a whole hoard of personal information. It can but thats totally up to you. If you look at Stephen Fry as a prime example of him posting "I am stuck in a lift" then thats what he said. It is pretty much a statement of what your doing summed up in around 200 characters I think. I do know some people take it to an extreme though. This guy in the US was posting, as his plane crashed. He twittered from his Iphone the following;
"OMFG I have lost my glasses. Can't see a frickin thing"
Now, I don't know about you guys but the last thing on my mind as my plane crashed would be to twitter what was going on!

I have it, but I haven't logged in for about a month or written anything that would interest anyone.

Pretty much no-one I know is on it, but I have about 50 "friends" so far. The one person I do know just posts annoying links to articles no-one cares about about five times a day. [/rant]

@ Al, I was referring to personal information released here on the board. If anyone posted their username, then it would be very easy to find out personal info.

I tweet every now and then, but it's not a religion for me. Some people take it far too far. I don't want to know - in 140 characters or less - what you're doing very minute of the day.

Not another one of these mybooks or facespaces, bah humbug.

Stephen Fry follows me as well .....

I use a fictional person who Twitters 140 character snips about her baits.

.... and by the way ....if you check right now, Ivor Grimey Colon is using the very same Avatar as Stephen Fry. ...or is it the other way round ?

I'm not a big fan of posting scads of personal information out there for public consumption

I am even sure what it is, so that would be a no. Very Happy

I just signed up. What the hell do I do with it?

Baiting Guru Joined: 08 Jul 2004 Posts: 11857 Location: UK

I also signed up today, only just heard about Twitter, so I decided to start a page for bits and pieces about baits, and links to my site and Scam Warners etc:

http://twitter.com/scams

It wasn't until after I had set it up that I noticed that you can only post messages of 140 characters at a time, not sure what use it will be to me in that case, but at least it will get the word about scams out there a bit more.

@ Frank, I don't see any posts by you, mate.

I thnk when you do a search you just search for a single word, such as, scams, and that should then give me in the results for you to add me to your list, I think.

Baiting Guru Joined: 31 Jan 2007 Posts: 12237

Ok, I am "following" you . Do you have to add me as well, so you can see what I type?

Where in the hell are the kids to help us out with this fancy new thing?
