What's this Twitter thing :ohmy: Can honestly say I have never read or 'tweeted' - shows my age I guess

if you have a smart phone, download from the apps TWITTER, or the 'blue bird' as enclosed here. Then register and get a password and then select groups to follow.

it's a lot like WhatsApp in its function but you are publically connected to groups - anywhere in the world. You use the hashtag # to tag another group or trend or the @ sign to link to a person specifically, for instance.

ie :

Horseracing today at Kenilworth. #horse @cityofcapetown

#horse - key word that alerts other horsey followers
@cityofcapetown - tagging Cape Town council what is happening in their area

here is another example - Twitter only allows very short messages, and is instantly broadcast. Hashtags are important as it links followers that are interested in certain topics ie fashion:

Twitter is great for folk that can't be arsed with the drama of Facebook

when he posts @senorsanta is deadly
