It's logging me into some other feed completely. Password and login details shot off into the ether somewhere and I get Mandarin (or maybe Cantonese - not qualified to say) spambots in return. So I'm binning it. I also can't find a desktop client that works with my ancient (i.e. >3 yrs old; .3.9) version of Mac OS X. Twhrl and twitterrific aren't compatible that far back. Any ideas anyone? And thanks for the recommend. I love robmugabe. He Is Legend. /liverpool is also pretty good for fans. Though, oddly quiet this morning.... Same problems here with Twitbin.

/liverpool is also pretty good for fans. Though, oddly quiet this morning….

Now I put my links on del.icio.us which posts a daily digest for me. I tried Twitbin as well but couldn't get on with it - it was continually asking me to sign in which got annoying eventually.

Twhirl and Tweetr sound interesting though, I'll have a look. Twitter Tools is also handy for integrating your tweeting with your Wordpress blogging - aren't you using that as well?

I think the best approach is to try and add a bit of value to Twitter posts rather than just 'I burnt the toast this morning'. It's certainly what I look for in the feeds that I follow - what's in it for me if I follow this guy? Cheers Mike, you’re not so dusty with it yourself.

We need more UK users who are not just interested in Tech. The group function has got great potential in the future, i think, Thanks for the link. I have already added both Mr Strachan and the great Mugabe :) I think a lot of people still don't 'get' it and think its a 'got out of bed/brushed my teeth/arrived at work/ kind of pointless journal of trivia. But, as I tell people, it's a tool and it's up to the user how to best use it.
