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 :)

Anything you want to tell us? (stalker) :P

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"

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.

correct, just like the #apatpoker one we use for updates

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 want more followers.... I feel silly tweeting to only 6 people!!!! :-[

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

Thanks for steering me here Rob, I"ll get a few added that i don"t already have 8) @GrantSpeirs

I have gone from one extreme to the other, not knowing anything about twitter to following dozens of poker people.
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

Stu, if the best part of a weekend full of beer, poker, mates and anything else APAT can conjure, is "tweets from the pub", then we seriously need to talk. :(

If anyone follows daniel negreanu, follow @dnchips its where he posts all of his poker updates, chip counts etc, really interesting!
if you want to follow me, its @johnyweeks reg play at gala teeside gala leeds and the G stockton.
off to play the 20 double chance at the G in stockton tonight if anyone is going!

@Lady_Starshine, I not twitter much though, but want to do more in future
-
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

It"s the hairstyle Gina (or lack of, on my part) :o

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.

I have Twitter but don"t use it to tweet anyone, just to get updates on programmes I watch & football etc. I have 4 followers who are family plus one "unknown" I think she thought I was Lady Gaga!
@LadyGazza

@sharkey2007 I tweet a fair bit about some inane drivel sometimes but that"s what its for!
