Twitter accounts

Thanks Rick.

I'm not going to solve the fb/twitter link problem in a hurry, but they are interesting articles to read in the meantime!

Now following you on Twitter (Holidayhomefan).

As a result of reading this, I've now created Twitter accounts. I must admit though, I'm at a loss on how to really make use of it. I find it hard to believe that potential guests want to "follow" posts on Twitter. I can understand the interest in viewing a Facebook page, the same as they would a website but following tweets?

I read somewhere that linking Twitter to Facebook was not a good idea. The target audiences are different and you simply annoy people by have Twitter appearing on Facebook.

I may follow some of you guys to get an idea of how it could help business, if at all.

I still have major problems with the linking process and only my facebook text status appear on twitter rather than all of my posts. However, fb is suffering continuous major glitches as they roll out the new newsfeed.

I have my twitter acct feeding into fb but it doesn't appear on my page; it is a separate page only reached by clicking on the twitter link. I suspect most people won't look at it, but it's there if desired!

I too am struggling with the concept and I definitely won't spend every day on it. However I'm trying to tweet or retweet when I can and can only wait and see over the coming months. I think you have to really be yourself; relaxed, chatty and ready to have a laugh. It's not a concept I'm particularly comfortable with, but it's worth trying as it is free and only costs a few minutes of your free time, when you can be anywhere, doing anything!

They do indeed if you download the twitter app, which is not what kevsboredagain has given you instructions for.

I would not want my twitter posts on my actual wall, so the way I have done it gives it it's own page. have a look at my facebook page, click on the number 2 top right to take you to the other apps and you will find a twitter page.

@windermerelodge

No idea. I couldn't find anything like that! You do mean a hashtag don't you, not a twitter account? Not that there's one of those either!

I've already stalked - sorry followed you Windy. You knew I would.

[Windy]

Ah - I think you might have been taking me more seriously than I intended there

(Followed you back - you knew I would )

[Nemo]

You see, I don't "get" twitter, nor twitter style jokes!

I'm flattered I'm worthy of following.......

Sorry, I should have said if you don't want it to (which I don't)

Would all the people who have posted on this thread re-read it and then think about us folks who have norfolking idea what your talking about - Twittering on about Twitter, hash tags and the "like" - what's it for?

Twittering on about Twitter, hash tags and the "like" - what's it for?

Hi Essar

It's really easy - Take 5 minutes out with a cup of coffee and...

Sign into your Twitter account - You will have to create one if you don't already have one

Certain areas of the country have a # - For example Yorkshire is #Yorkshirehour and the North East is #Northeasthour

In the Search area type #Northeasthour and you will see many Tweets from companies promoting their business

In the North East we have 2 North East Hours firstly on Monday nights from 8-9 PM and then Tuesday afternoons from 2-3 PM

It's a frenzy Tweeting and Retweeting but great fun and you gain lots of Followers and also Follow many more...

There are lots of other# Groups but try the above first then see if there is an Hour in your town or county

Hope that helps
