Six #Followfriday Suggestions

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Following up from my recent Follow Friday post, I have put another list of fabulous people you should be following together for you!

Follow Friday is a group meme on Twitter where everybody suggests new people to follow. It’s a great way of discovering new people on Twitter – you might even make some great new friends.

“What he/she says” is stolen from their twitter bios, btw.. so if I call you boring it’s cos you haven’t bothered writing one!

@paulpuddifoot (Paul Puddifoot)
What he says: Nothing. Boorrrring.
What I say: “Nice guy, friendly! Currently obsessed with Sims 3 – I’m very jealous as I haven’t got it yet!”

@AlrightTit (Lisa Lynch)
What she says: “Write, editor, author-in-training. Blogging through The Bullshit at www.alrighttit.com.”
What I say: “Brilliantly honest and funny – she’s currently blogging her way through the crap that is breast cancer, which is well worth a read.”
Her website: Alright Tit

@serenium (Chad Round)
What he says: “22. M. Shy. Slightly geeky. Toast fiend.”
What I say: “Nice bloke! He’s already summed it up nicely there :-)”
His website: Balance Point

@LaChatNoir (Tanya Burley)
What she says: “Insomniac actor/writer with cyber addiction.”
What I say: “Fabulous lady, very fun to chat to :-)”
Her website: La Chat Noir’s Ramblings

@takemeback (Christine G.)
What she says: “It doesn’t really matter what clothes I wear or how I fare of if my hair is brown”
What I say: “She’s fantastically fun, and there is a blooming romance going on right now, definitely worth following for the fun of that!”

@O2 (O2 in the UK)
What he says: “Hello, welcome to the Twitter channel of O2 in the UK. Let’s talk!”
What I say: “I know this is strange to include in follow friday, but this guy is quite funny, and very helpful if you are an iPhone user in the UK. Squeeed his way through the keynote with the rest of us!”

Tell me your twitter usernames!

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Hello all you darling people who read my blog.

As you possibly know, I am a big twitter lover. The only problem is that because it is blocked at work I don’t always remember to check out the people who are following me when I get the emails.. so please comment here with your usernames so I can follow you!

If you don’t want to comment with them, feel free to email me instead :-)

Oh, and my username is zoecorkhill, as it is pretty much everywhere else on the web. I love having a unique name, especially after the anonymity of my childhood – my maiden name being Smith!

Twitter – 14 #followfriday suggestions!

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Given how utterly confusing and overwhelming Follow Friday is on twitter, I have decided to start recommending my favourite twitterers on my blog instead, with some information about them. I won’t do it every week, just occasionally when I have discovered really cool people that I think you should all follow!

Follow Friday is a group meme on Twitter where everybody suggests new people to follow. It’s a great way of discovering new people on Twitter – you might even make some great new friends.

“What he/she says” is stolen from their twitter bios, btw.. so if I call you boring it’s cos you haven’t bothered writing one! There are 14 suggestions here – 1 for every 10 characters!

Twitter – what it is & why I love it!

Friday, May 8th, 2009

There are a lot of my friends who don’t see the point of twitter; they sign up for accounts, but they don’t start to follow anyone apart from the odd celebrity & maybe one friend who probably never even updates anyway. Oh, and me – cos I’m the one that nagged at them to come and join the fun in the first place!

Twitter!

What you have to understand about Twitter is that it’s not really just a series of meaningless updates. The thing I hear most often is “why would I care what so-and-so had for breakfast anyway?” – the funny thing is about this is you then get the very same people having conversations about diets, recipes, all time favourite breakfast cereals.. when they are talking about breakfast in person. The fact that my coworkers spend at least 5 minutes a day discussing what they had for dinner the night before proves that you do care about what your friends are eating! Twitter is a conversation too, you just have to join in.

If your friend has coco pops for breakfast then give them props for admitting to love a childish breakfast cereal, and admit you love it to! If they send a tweet saying that they’re having muesli then give them your opinion on the foul stuff, and commend them for being healthy. And that’s just breakfast! Conversations I’ve had on Twitter in the last few weeks include: my favourite mac/iPhone software, pets, cross stitch, Counting Crows (I actually had a mini convo with the lead singer of my fav band!), my wedding, men’s flaws, and my favourite tv shows!

Counting Crows Tweet!

Twitnote is officially live!!

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Twitnote is a notebook for Twitter, which allows you to store those random pieces of information that don’t really belong anywhere else – all you need to use it is a twitter username & password. We’ve built it so that it has some good note management tools – you can star, archive, delete, tag, email & retweet notes right from your Twitnote home page. Along with all that, you can search your notes & export them to a csv file to import into other applications.

Twitnote | Make notes with Twitter

Every user has a public page1 with an RSS feed built in – you can choose which notes you want making public, and you can control whether you want all the notes you send to us to be public by default. To use Twitnote, all you have to do to send us a note is to mention or direct message @twnote. You can add a new note right from Twitnote interface as well.

Another neat feature of Twitnote is that we have built in a SMS feature – just text a UK mobile number with the text “twnote blah blah blah” and that’s another note added :-). Useful for when you don’t want to boot up a twitter app to send a note to yourself.

Anyway, please check out Twitnote & see for yourself whether it’s any good or not – please let me know what you think!

  1. Like Twitter, this can be found at http://twitnote.co.uk/username. My public page is here. [↩]
