Well Twitter for those who have heard of it is amongst us nowadays ........... explanation.....
-----------------------------------------
Where did the idea for Twitter come from?
Jack Dorsey had grown interested in the simple idea of being able to know what his friends were doing. Specifically, Jack wondered if there might be an opportunity to build something compelling around this simple status concept. When he brought the idea up to his colleagues, it was decided that a prototype should be built.
Twitter was funded initially by Obvious, a creative environment in San Francisco, CA. The first prototype was built in two weeks in March 2006 and launched publicly in August of 2006. The service grew popular very quickly and it soon made sense for Twitter to move outside of Obvious. In May 2007, Twitter Incorporated was founded.
--------------------------------------------
Simplicity has played an important role in Twitter's success. People are eager to connect with other people and Twitter makes that simple. Twitter asks one question, "What are you doing?" Answers must be under 140 characters in length and can be sent via mobile texting, instant message, or the web.
Twitter's core technology is a device agnostic message routing system with rudimentary social networking features. By accepting messages from sms, web, mobile web, instant message, or from third party API projects, Twitter makes it easy for folks to stay connected.

Table Tennis Talk has its own "twitter" area and as youl see in the sidebar is updated automatically with updates on certain things which if you login via the twitter login you can reply to or other things aswell. The system is absolutely safe and free to use so follow the 3T's on the twitter aswell as here !

So click on the table tennis talk name in the twitter side module !

well click on the Table Tennis Talk sign in the side module and create your free unique twitter name etc then you can "follow" ttt on that aswell !

To follow someone on twitter is to simply join their particular network, in other words ttt's network of friends in this case. You can reply to things and post things to ttt through this also. You'll see a little arrow and a little star ...... one is a reply which you can do once you have a twitter name. Easy have a play you can relate it to maybe myspace or facebook but less information and also simple.

I've been 'tweeting' for a while. I'm 'MKChris'.

If anyone is a Facebook user, it's like Facebook updates pretty much. The more people you follow, the better it is - I'm following various celebrities: Jonathan Ross, Stephen Fry, Chris Moyles, Matt Horne, Rob Brydon, Alan Davies, Eddie Izzard, etc. as well as some friends and family.
