Are people becoming Twitter obsessed?

Since 2006, when Twitter was founded, it has become a huge part of social networking. As quoted from a source: "There are more than 200 million active Twitter users. Eighty percent of all users access Twitter on mobile devices" - http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/did-you-know-some-facts-about-twitter-418143. With most people now owning smartphones that have Twitter apps, all you need is internet and you are ready to tweet.

 

 

There must be a downside, surely? People would ask. This is not true. You are limited to 140 characters per tweet, meaning that everyone's tweets are short and snappy - no one has the ability to waffle. There is a wide range of people to follow, ranging from friends or family to celebrities! Twitter is an easy way to keep up with the latest celebrity gossip, what's better then that? A wide range of celebrities use twitter, from Lady Gaga to Barack Obama. Justin Bieber is the most popular, with a staggering "44,418,729, as of 2200 GMT Thursday" as quoted from http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/did-you-know-some-facts-about-twitter-418143.

 

'You could be followed by strangers!' Some might say. Well, yes this is true. Twitter is a very popular social networking site with a huge number of active users. However, if you feel you want to keep your profile private from people you do not know, then you simply have to change your settings. It's as easy as that! This means that people have to ask to follow you, if you do not know them and do not want them to follow you, then you simply decline! Meaning that your tweets are safe and protected from people you do not know.

 

So the answer is, yes, maybe people are becoming twitter obsessed. But this is not necessarily a bad thing! So, if you do not have twitter yourself, then why don't you consider giving it a go?

Geoffery's Monologue

This mornings lesson was about the Garden of Gethsemane; I could not even contain my excitement. Not. Anyway, Susan was late, probably overslept - no surprise there. My jaw dropped when I saw her barge in, wearing a cardigan that should be made illegal to wear. I had to kick it off with an apology for failing to defrost the church, mainly to Mr Medlicott as, as we all know oh so well, he has shingles. That's a story we've been told one too many times. The sermon was about sex, Susan looked a bit more interested than usual, but she could at least make a little more effort to try and not look as if she's about to fall asleep. I announced that after Easter the bishops would be visiting; everybody looked very excited! Well, everybody except Susan of course. Miserable old bag. 

When we got home, Susan decided to cook me chicken wings in a tuna fish sauce. Yum. NOT. She isn't much of a genius in the kitchen. I told her that I thought I hit a nail on the head with my sermon, I placed my hand over hers, attempting to be affectionate. She told me she had to go round with the parish magazine. I call that a lucky escape. I had a lot of paperwork to do anyway. She was gone for quite a while; by the time she came home I was getting ready to leave for my evensong. I asked her if she was going to come. She replied with a blunt 'no', the answer I was expecting, and kind of hoping for. I say I will just tell everyone that she has a headache, I can't have people thinking she's not coming out of choice!
