Twitter tipping service

Hi,
Been toying with the idea of starting a free twitter tipping service, primarily for market-movers (ie-horses that I think will shorten) but also for tips heard during the day. No set fomat, no promises, just what I hear and think.
The advantage of twitter is it's instant notification - so if I hear a horse is playing up in the parade ring, I tweet and you got it instantly. The idea came about because I got a number of friends on messenger and I decided to switch them to twitter so I can tell them all one thing at once.
I just wanted to gauge the reaction here.

I thought Juju had closed down Twitter:D

I'll send him an invite - maybe he punts ? He's got enough money..

You open yourself up for abuse, punters who use tipping services feel that the ''tip'' should always win..... too much of a ball ache imo, but good luck if you go ahead with it:)

That's true. I may just make it a closed group for my friends. Maybe it was ego, but I thought the idea of creating a large group of people I could hopefully help was appealing. I've been in racing for a while on both sides of the counters and paid my "school fees". Just want to try something new.

We have a few titts twitts on here < stopped using or hardly use twitter got bored with it got about 600 or 700 followers as well, nutters!
Same with Facebook built up around 500 friends for ABC but hardly use it,Deleted the ABC page on facebook months ago.

The thing is internet in SA is still not available to the masses,for example the weekends on here are a lot quieter than weekdays and when you think all the big action is at the weekend,Cell phones are different though,nearly everyone has a cell phone..

Within a year everyone should have a twitter enabled cellphone. Most phones on upgrade have it now. I think South Africa is normally 3-5 years behind USA, so hopefully the twitter phenomenon is still coming here !

ruffian... personally i think its a good idea.... i for one would follow you on twitter, hope im included in your closed friends group.(

Go fo it ruffian

Liked to be in.
Need some places if not winners

Great idea Ruffian, all you giving is your help. If people complain then they must not ask for it. Probem is if my wife sees my on my phone all weekend and not the laptop, she will presume there is some other women. She reckons she can live with me punting and playing golf. If it goes ahead, count me in
