Global-Flat @ Twitter
« on: December 31, 2008, 02:00:09 PM »
Have you heard of Twitter yet ? Sounds a bit like a disease but it´s actually a micro-blogging site. Check Wikipedia if you haven´t heard of it.

It´s getting quite famous so we set up a Global-Flat account to tweet some flatland news into the Twitterverse.

Is there a way to add friends or just follow people?

I think following people is basically the "adding friends" of Twitter ...

Hmm, it shows a friends list and a followers list?  Is friends people I follow and followers people who are friends of mine?

Yeah I think you're "friends" if you are both following each other.

There are two lists .. "you follow their posts" and "they follow your posts".

Twitter's been around for a few years already.  Great tool for finding out what people are doing every single second of their life.   ;D  You can follow the byke project at www.twitter.com/thebykeproject

Also, if you have an iphone, there's a great twitter app available called Twitterrific.  You can read about it here:  http://iconfactory.com/software/twitterrific  But its free through the itunes store, so don't purchase it off the iconfactory site.  Enjoy.
