Enjoyment of Twitter depends entirely on what you wish to get out of it.
Many a time I have learnt that something major is happening in the
World, minutes, and sometimes hours, before the BBC reports the facts.
Before anyone reminds me, I am aware that the BBC needs to verify for
accuracy before reporting... but even so - sometimes the length of time
is quite staggering.
Searching for the hashtage '#yourword' is vital to ensure you see what
you want to see (as long as the tweeter uses it of course).
Don't give in - learn a bit more about it and you might discover a new
world out there.
End of sermon.
Halleluia. I mean that!
