Shall i join the revolution that is... Twitter?

How much spare time have you got? There's a lot of turd to swim through to get to the gems.

I prefer to just wait until CL members point something out to me then I go and read it.

Joined, but couldn't really get to grips with it. Don't bother now.

yep go got it mate..... same reason as Ross. I used to think it was for twats but now I "follow" 69 people  Instead of trawling through websites etc you can updates on things within seconds. Whatever you do mate don't let Ackworth follow you

by making stuff up and pretending to be interesting, mainly.
so much better than being a real person

I signed up last week, not done one 'tweet' just follow few sports poeple, journos and few news services, pretty good for little snippits of info, but you have to trawl through lot of shit tweets of generally people mentioning someone 'famous'' to either promote themselves or some product or try to make a 'statement' of sorts.

When I was undecided. like you, I followed this advice

American but it gave me 20 minutes of amusement.

There are a lot of great uses for Twitter,
but perhaps one of the best is as a source for humor. While there are
plenty of funny comedians and actors on Twitter, some of the funniest
accounts are by ordinary folks posing as famous people or fictional
characters. So this list funny Twitter accounts takes in a big handful
of these not-so-real accounts along with a few must-have humor accounts.

• @TheOnion. We might as
  well start with the obvious. If you are a fan of satirical humor,
  there's no reason why you shouldn't be following The Onion. It's the quick and easy way to get your daily does of satire.
• @FunnyOrDie. The brainchild of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, FunnyOrDie might be the funniest website on the Internet, and their Twitter account makes it easy to follow their funniest videos.
• @badbanana. And if we
  are going to make a list of funny Twitter accounts, we might as well
  include the perhaps the funniest person on Twitter. Tim Siedell might
  just want to give it all up and become a billionaire, but until someone
  offers him that job (and I applied for that position too!), we'll have
  his tweets to read.
• @Stewie. Okay, enough with
  the real people and websites. If you want an occasional blast of
  fictional funny, Stewie is "working on ways to use Twitter for the whole
  world domination thing..."
• @Broslife. nce you start following @Broslife, you'll be ready to star in your own sitcom called How I Met Barney Stinson on Twitter.
• @Darthvader. First he
  brought peace to the galaxy, now he's bringing peace to Twitter. Thank
  goodness we have his dark benevolence watching over us!
• @FrodoBaggins. Want
  to know what it was like to hang out with Gandalf? Want someone to end
  that longstanding debate on whether Gollum smells more like dead fish or
  burnt flesh? Let Frodo give you the inside scoop.
• @Edgar_Allan_Poe. He's been dead for 161 years, but he can still correct your grammar in 140 characters or less.
• @michael_bay. I'm
  pretty sure Michael Bay believes every star in Hollywood owes their fame
  to him and one of his short-on-story-but-long-on-explosions epics.
  Find out what he really thinks about the world.
• @FatherKelly. Imagine
  you joined the priesthood and then a few decades later decided you
  might not have made the best decision, but it's a little too late for a
  career change. What would you do? Perhaps moan about it on Twitter.

And while we are on the subject of Twitter, you might as well visit historical tweets, which takes a look at what some of the most famous people in history might have tweeted.

It's not referred to as "Twatter" without good reason.

No, but you wont know until they do it, will you?

But you do have to follow someone who tells you when they go for  shit. That is compulsory

To be fair, it's a time when you are sitting there with nothing else to do and have nobody to talk to, so it makes sense.

It's not referred to as "Twatter" without good reason.

Seriously, who the fcuk wants to know that someone has just had toast for breakfast, or some other rubbish.

I guess I'm in the "don't get it" camp - and I can't say it bothers me either.

Hold up, you follow Cuff on Twitter!!!

You should join it. There is a good set of Charlton people on twitter too. Fans, players, old players. My username @dave2l if you wana follow. Its very good with news and football news too if you follow the right people.

I find Dom Joly the most entertaining and interesting tweeter. Alot of people seem to not like him and he has big arguements with them!

it just shows off their twitter page and that somebody famous noticed them...
