Where are all the TWITterS?  ;D

Ok. I"ve got a new phone with the Twitter App on it, signed up and have no one to follow apart from APAT....

Who on here Twitters?
Who is worth twittering?
Any "famous" ones worth following?

(I"m not looking for someone who types for the sake of typing)  ::)

Tried to use Twitter - even registered an account - but then found that my corporate smart phone has the twitter app blocked, and even has the twitter text access blocked. can use facebook to my heart"s content though - how stupid.

What"s Twitter  ???    :-\

I have got a rough idea about what it is about because Ryan Giggs name came out because of twitterers, according to the lads on my local cash table. But I haven"t made time to look up Twitter yet for myself.

I understand what Facebook is, but registering for it doesn"t appeal to me. I think I am a bit of a dinosaur.

I listen to some poker podcasts and play poker online so I am in touch with the modern world  :)

I think the point about our very own kinfishi is that he holds the record for the highest number of posts on every social networking site and every forum known to man. However 90% of his posts are a single smiley face........

I have been viewing the above mentioned twitterer"s and have chosen to follow a few until I get used to how the thing works! My chosen stalkees APAT members are:

APAT_Poker
tighty
chipaccural
duke3016
MaylisBoardman
Paulpitchford
jack_prime
amrn77
gb2loose

These "subjects" were chosen for a variety of reasons including things like:

They are APAT officials
They tweet on their poker games
They have made some funny tweets
They look good in short dresses  :o (I"m not going to mention who!)  ::)

I"ve also added:

Tony_Kendall
thehendonmob
PokerStars
RealKidPoker
VictoriaCoren

DerrenBrown
Ronnieo147
Judd147t

NOW........

Where"s all my followers?
Okay, I haven"t actually tweeted yet but with only Leigh and Maylis following me it"s not a threesome I would like to be involved in.......
Just yet!  :P

Anyway, why not follow me? Apart from playing some online qualifying tournaments I am also going to be playing the Golieth and hopefully the APAT Worlds too which I will be tweeting about. Some other random things may pop in now and again but I"m not planning to be a total twitterholic!  ;)

Been on twitter since Oct 2009 - Total number of tweets = 2.

Just discovered my new work Blackberry has twitter app so now have yearly average back up to 1  ;D

Added a whole bunch of the above this morning and might give this a go.

Might be a cheap an easy way to keep in touch during "Vegas Vengeance - An APAT Adventure"

I suggested this sometime ago.

My general idea was to add a hashtag (#apatvegas) to tweets which can then be easily searched for rather than having to trawls through dozens (if not hundreds) of tweets to find out what is going on.

I believe this will work even if you don"t follow the tweeter in question.

I opened an account a while ago, then lost interest but now I"m back into it and "getting" it a bit more (@jpround if you want to follow) largely thanks to this thread, ta.

The reason for this post is that when I typed in Des Duffy to find and follow the great man himself, underneath his account was section "Similar to Des Duffy" with 1 result... Robbie Savage!?!  

In what way is Des like Robbie?

A rampant hooligan on the footy pitch?
An early "Metrosexual"?
Talks a lot of b****** on 5Live?
Once substituted during a League cup final with phlegm all over his face on National TV?

I"m intrigued  ;D

I"m in Day 1C for Goliath which is on the Friday, if I"m out on day one I can try for  APAT alternates seat on Saturday/Sunday... If I make Goliath Day 2, I can try for APAT alternates seat on Sunday... If I make the Final Table of Goliath then I"ll be a very happy man  :P

Or I may just buy a seat for Sunday, if I don"t get there I"m sure it won"t be hard to sell  ;D

After returning to this thread I am now following a few Apat players - swinebag, chipaccrual, fatcatstu, ThinkerJE, kinboshi, gb2loose, Tighty, jpround, fandango  and a few others

I hope to learn some interesting stuff

What really confuses me on Twitter is, the suggestions they make, when you search someone, they suggest you who is similar to whom you searched

So I just searched Grant (Santino) and found him, suggested to me as similar are:  george danzer, joe cada and  Sharon Osbourne,  ???  ???  ???
is there anything you need to tell us Grant????  :D

Title: Twitter - Why?
Post by: VBlue on November 07, 2012, 15:08:35 PM
I joined Twitter this year to follow the WSOP and some UK pros progress sponsored by the site I play most of my poker on, Black Belt Poker.

I then started to Follow too many people and my Twitter feed became repetitive and full of too much information to have the time to catch up on.

I then trimmed a few hundred followers and have been adding back in some more.

I have now decided I really want to follow more fellow low-stakes poker players, players like you at the APAT and on BBP.

@MarkVBlue for anyone who is kind enough to follow back.
