IMHO an awful lot of mindless chatter. There might be the odd grain
of gold but the vast majority is just rubbish.

Is it really important that the rector has finished the Sunday
morning service? I guess it might be if he tweets quickly and the pub
is a few minutes walk from the church, you can get a drink in before
the rush. B-) But then the service will always end about the same
time so you don't need the tweet to know when the rush is going to
happen, you do need a mind though...

I thought the idea was to look at blogs. Some/most bloggers Tweet or
are on Facebook because social media is a very important part of
advertising and pr these days. But Twitter and Facebook aren't the sum
of what these garden enthusiasts or experts write about. For example,
the highly respected designer, Tom Hoblyn is on both but also has a
very good blog:

You don't have to be on social media sites to read blogs.
