Thursdays Twitter Question Time again and today after reading a report about social networking sites and productivity in the workplace, todays question was
“Do you find since u started using Twitter that you miss it if you have to work, do u feel u may miss something important being away, has it affected ur workflow, ie are u an addict?”
doneganlan No - its good for the business in the sense of doneganland has just done this or that and keeps people informed and using twinkle really helps in that dept.
sretchneil A little, definitely, but the flip side is that I interact a huge amount more with other bloggers. Good for what i’d like to do though!
Mike_Kiely No, it’s a relief to be away from it and the torrent of too many opinions. No Twitter means real work is...
Todays question comes because of the many tweets I have seen all week in relation to spammers on Twitter.
“This week spammers have been at large on Twitter, will this surge bring you to protect your updates to avoid them or is that in turn ruining the social side of Twitter. All opinions welcomed”
Kenmcguire said “Nope… think if we ignore them they’ll just go away? It’s a bit much alright, I’m noticing 2-3 a day but not enough for me to lockdown, am comfortable with public tweets!”
Icedcoffee added “there have been spammers for ages - if I spot any I just block em, it hasnt caused me too much hassle in the past and cant check tweetrush if updates are protected.”
GavReilly took a different view to blocking “I’m not...
So for Thursday Twitter question time I decided to take a risk with a very simple idea, let people ask me anything, anything at all probe as deep as you like and I promise to answer honestly. It took about 20 minutes for the first question to come in.
@mitzs asked “Are you still glad you went with the Canon EOS 350d or wish you chose another brand?”
At the time I was very happy since I never used slr before, but did want the 30d really! But 350d has done me proud!
@threnn “What’s your favourite colour? ;)”
It’s between 2, I change from light orange to grey.
@aileenwilliams “do u help in the house?”
hehe mum, that’s more like it, not as much as I should, I is bad!
@raptureponies “who’s the first girl you ever kissed?”...
Todays question came about from all the media attention on the The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons with very high kinetic energy. The question I posed was
“With the LHC now fired up are we wrong trying to play god? Or is it a good thing?”
Danclements was first to answer with ”I don’t think the LHC falls under the realm of God Playing, we won’t reach that until we start altering the human genome.” Elfinamsterdam added “I don’t think its trying to play god, I think we need to reenact things in order to discover how they work. To understand nature. We need to play with it and take it apart. As with many...
What the hell is this all about, I hear you ask, well I love Twitter, so much so that I reckon Twinkle (a twitter application for the iPhone) is my most used app on the phone. I use it constantly, on the bus, in work, at home and if you have not got into twitter you should, its a great way to meet like minded people and have a chat or laugh or even gain useful information.
One thing I tried on Tuesday while on the bus into work, was to ask a question and see what sort of replies I got, I was amazed at the amount of people that replied and so decided to have a question each Tuesday and Thursday morning between 8am and 8-15am.
Todays question was in relation to the iPhone and its location capabilities. On twinkle for instance, your position in the world is found and sent to other twinkle...
