AB Editor and Twitter

[TCL-MUMPING]

The AB Editor said to-day

By the way, I will soon be using Twitter (if anyone has heard of it) to give you 140 character updates on whats happening here at AB Towers. I'll update you with my username asap, it'll be a lot of fun twittering with you!

Check it out: www.twitter.com

and

We do our best to respond to all emails, obviously we read, but we can't respond to every single one with an email back. Sorry!

So he does not have time to respond to e-mails but has time to use ANOTHER site to update a few others about THIS SITE???

What is going on here? How about being serious and answering the e-mails?

Now now TCL. Be patient...joke:-)

I cannot believe that the ed is even considering using twitter, what the hell is he on? I am sure he is just saying that to wind people up.

[chinadog]

I thought it was strange as well Dot. Unless he wants us all to join Twitter? Weirder and weirder!!

[TCL-MUMPING]

The way things are going, he'll be putting updates in the French edition of "The Tortoise Racers Weekly", anywhere but on this site....

[SK.news.DE]

There's already an update on Exochat. He seems to be spreading it around a bit.

[TCL-MUMPING]

I wonder if his sidekick, the Spare Part, will be twittering away too?

[ummmm]

What?

[TCL-MUMPING]

I was just wondering if the Spare Ed would be joining in on the Twitter lark

[dot.hawkes]

The ed is a member of exochat? I thought i was a member there but haysi says i am not on the list, but i definately joined. If i could see a list opf members i would know my user name, it might not have been the same as on here, infact it wasn't.

No idea what's going on here TCL, chinadog's right - 'weirder and weirder'.
Surely the only reason to promote a chat site would be if they're planning to stop it on here?

[legendis.god]

i got an email from the ed telling me about his weekend he spent in the new forest

a very nice cabin by all accounts


? did that help ?��

PMSL@ the French edition of The Tortoise Racers Weekly!

I'm not sure a twittering Ed is necessarily such a bad idea...? ...but Ed not at the cost of not communicating with us here. I know I'd personally like for you to acknowledge having seen the suggestions put forward in this topic. All you really have to say is something like "we'll take that into consideration" - no need to make any promises, it would just be nice to know we're not talking to ourselves all the time.

[swedeheart]

..."not sure a twittering Ed is necessarily such a bad idea" - I may have jumped to conclusions there? I was rather assuming a Twitter widget would be installed onto the AB page enabling us to hear Ed twittering IRT while we're on here anyway, but re-reading your message, Ed, I'm not sure that's what you meant? Surely you don't mean we'd have to go over to Twitter?

[time2fly]

lets all go to twitter and leave AB...another great idea from the ED...

[LoftyLottie2]

We've had many Eds, those that are friendly, the strict ones, those that ban everybody, those that don't commucate etc., etc.

Now what we have is an Ed that just sits on the fence twittering. Well, I suppose it is spring!!

[LoftyLottie2]

'communicate'!!
