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:

These are all great tools to tap into the next generation. Back in the day, newspapers and radios were the medium of choice and they played their roles well. If used correctly, these can be also. But the product has to be up to scratch as well.
