I've belatedly jumped aboard the good ship Twitter in recent days, in an attempt to keep up to speed with what's "now" and "media". My good friend Murray, who is unashamedly both of these things, has kindly pointed me in the direction of some handy explanatory links, but I have to admit that as yet I have no idea what all the fuss is about.
Stephen Fry certainly seems rather obsessed with it, which surely means it's "a good thing", but I fear it may be a technological step too far for me... It does, however, appear to be a very useful way of getting a first person perspective of lives of the vaguely famous; looking at Danny Wallace and Richard Bacon's 'simul-tweets' from a long lunch at The Ivy on Friday made me feel like I was in a low budget sequel to "Being John Malkovich". Still, gives me another way to entertain myself on fag breaks, whilst dreaming of building up a cult following through my pithy and astute comments on modern life.
