Yes. Many. Millions in fact I am one in those millions !happy!

Max Tranmere is the one you want to talk to. He's part of the Twitterati with thousands of Twitterers thankful for every tweet.

I've never been able to understand the limited text space thing. 160 characters or whatever it is. You spend more time trying to shorten what you've just written to try and get it into the space than you did writing it.

"How are things, did you have a good weekend?" becomes "How r things,did u hav a gud wkend?".

I've never got to the bottom of why it's 160 characters and not, say, 200. Or 180 for that matter. Even better, make it unlimited like Facebook or emailing. I tried getting into it a couple of years ago then gave up.

I am also one of the Twitter minions like you OEJ !grin!

Oh sorry, you actually said "millions", should have gone to specsavers !laugh!

I've told you this before. Do you have a bad memory?

When twitter first started the idea was to make sure tweets could be sent to mobile phones via text messaging. The character limit on texts was 160 characters.

Twitter is for twats. Get a life.

!tut!

Twitter is an excellent marketing tool to be used to target your core audience and keep them informed by way of promotion and advertising.

Maybe everyone in the world is a twat.... except you. Come join the club Dont be left out n the cold !laugh!

Can you be as much of a twat in under 160 characters, though, Arginald? I think you'd pull it off.
