Because Twitter's not just for twits ;)
Woo hoo! When I had nearly finished my book, “French Nouns: Masculine or Feminine?” I was really pleased with myself. However, it slowly dawned on me that writing the book was all very well, but how was I going to tell people about it? No website, no skills to design one and no money to pay someone else to do it….
I certainly don’t think so but I’ve listened my way into several conversations of folk that think it is. Those conversations tend to go like this
“What is the point of twitter, why would I want to know what someone had for breakfast/lunch, I don’t get it and it must be for sad people with nothing better to do”
I am often tempted to interject and “educate” such folk about the joys of twitter but have resisted the urge thus far.
So why do I disagree with the naysayers?
I love Hootsuite.
I’m not affiliated, they’re not a client, and I don’t know the guys behind it; but I love it.
With Hootsuite I can:
Could you imagine going back in time? Could you imagine talking to your 16 year old self and giving them advice?
People on Twitter are doing just that, right now. It’s fascinating.

As you can see from the snippet here, the advice is fascinating!
@Quennessa gosh, I feel for her. I wonder what the story with that is?
@ISaidDont ‘s RT of @belly187 made me smirk. That can’t be real. Can it?
Hair cuts, diaries and love advice are all things we share with our 16 year old selves.
Obviously I’m a massive fan of social media, but a late night conversation with someone who’s not quite converted yet led to this post.
In the conversation I was lamenting the fact that for the past 10 years I’ve wanted to own a Fairway taxi. One that looks like this:
Some people dream of Audi A4s, some want Maseratis and Lambourghinis – I want a good old London cab.
7 seats, diesel engine, turns on a sixpence (so easy to park), and just look at those curves!
I'm happy to use Increase Sociability.
