Does anyone Twitter. Not the sort of thing I'm usually into but it seems fun, especially if you can tweet from a mobile. You can find me as Jonno57.

I must be getting old,  :o

I find both appalling.......  >:(

Facebook you chat with friends and add friends to your list, people you might not even know are supposed friends and you can put up lists of your favorite stuff like music pictures etc.

Twitter sounds like an extension of this, whereby you tell the world about your life, tell your wife she is dumped pretend you are somebody and let people share in the excitement of your life when their own is so dull and boring...... ;)

Hope this about sums them up.  ;D
