BradHorse Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 How do you actually make Twitter fun? Signed up the other day and so far the only source of amusement has been Jeremy Clarkson taking funny photos of Richard and James. I have my girlfriend and some random twat following me and I don't know how or why I want more followers. What's the best way to get started? I was told just following celebrities is not the way to go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who use it as a one-way vehicle I can't really be doing with. Don't follow footballers. They're tedious morons. #nandos #headloss #baller For the most part, yes, but there are some who are thoughtful and erudite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the advice on board and can see the benefit of twitter for getting news. Cheers. What are some good z-list celebrities to wind up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTidy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I've started following Limmy, but I believe I'm going to have to stop soon. All he does is post pictures of himself, trying to make funny faces. He's either very lonely or totally attention seeking. I think he's pretty funny but can def see why people would get bored of him. My twitter name is in my sig. I'm thinking of live tweeting Linlithgow marches on Tuesday, it's going to be very entertaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Don't follow footballers. They're tedious morons. #nandos #headloss #baller "Gutted about the results. Fans were great though. Back to winning ways next week #goals" or something similar along those lines is a favourite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I follow Gerry McLaughlin and the Thistle players. That's it in terms of footballers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy85 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't think I follow a single footballer. If I wanted the opinion of dribbling morons I'd read Follow Follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Anyone follow Sanjeev Kohli? I saw a couple of funny retweets so followed him. Since then, it's all been terrible puns. Will give him a few days to up his game or he's gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't follow him. The funny ones get retweeted so I see them through that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Earlier, Wayne Rooney posted a random picture of him and some guy on holiday and I noticed it had been retweeted 400+ times. Who are these people who retweet stuff like this? Surely Rooney is well known enough that if you wanted to see a crappy picture of him you would already be following? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayBees Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I see that 2 American bands - Black Lips and Titus Andronicus - are having a slagging match on Twitter. It stems from the Titus Andronicus singer having a rant about slavery during a gig in Georgia - where the Black Lips are from. I can only see the Lips winning this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayBees Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Do they share the same record label by any chance? Actually no. I think this is genuine. From my experience of seeing both bands, the Black Lips are genuine loose cannons, whereas Titus Andronicus would dearly like to be a bit dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
