  • The Best Twitter App for Android

    Thats right folks, amongst the barrage of cool twitter apps that are available FREE – a newcomer has risen from the darkness and TOTALLY stolen the limelight.

    Its called Touiteur (tweeter) and its made by the fine gents and ladies at Level Up Studios.

    Here is a little list of cool features that Touiteur (Free) comes with

    • Multiple Account Support – THANK GOD!! FINALLY!!!!
    • Cool “Dropdown” new tweet dialogue
    • Really intuitive layout
    • Colour code option so you can distinguish between tweets from different accounts (it merges all tweets from all accounts onto one screen)

    The only downside is that I would actually like NOT to have everything merged into one list – which is totally achievable if I pay $2.99 or whatever it is and buy the premium version.

    My score – 8/10 (Would be 9 if I stopped being a tight-arse and bought the full app!!!)

    This would be a 10/10 app if it refreshed when shook (Accelerometer support)

  • Calvin Harris Rants on Twitter

    I follow a few celebs on twitter – mainly because i like their music or whatever it is they do. Calvin Harris is one of those people, and tonight he’s really let rip at itv for making him do stupid things for TV. It involved trying (and failing) to open a jar of jam – and heres what he had to say about it

    “ITS NOT THE EMBARRASSMENT OF NOT OPENING THE JAM, I HAVE COME TO TERMS WITH MY LACK OF UPPER BODY STRENGTH”

    “ITS THE OVERWHELMING SADNESS I FEEL THAT SOMEBODY WHO MAKES TV THINKS THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE AND ENTERTAINING FEATURE”

    “ITS NOT. ITS SHITE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO PUBLICLY CALL FOR THE PEOPLE RESONSIBLE FOE THE ‘CAN YOU OPEN MY JAM? FEATURE TO PUBLICLY APOLOGISE”

    “NOT TO ME, BUT TO ANY POTENTIAL VIEWER, FOR POTENTIALLY EXPOSING THEM TO THE WORST SHIT IMAGINEABLE ON TELEVISION. HEADS SHOULD ROLL”

    Random – i know. But this seems to of caused a stir with people who follow him;

    “Yeah a lot of people seem to have missed the point. I hate fucking twitter. I met Q-Tip. THERE IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR?!”

    “RT @clarabelle2009 @calvinharris piss off then close ur account u moany diva!if u cant be bothered with why shud we both with u + ur ‘music’”

    “See that’s the sort of thing I’m talking about. I DON’T EXPECT YOU TO LIKE MY MUSIC! ITS A MATTER OF TASTE! Don’t like it? PLEASE GO AWAY!”

    Where you and i might rant about something on tv, or rant about something that has pissed us off – people like mr harris are in the public spotlight and anything they say can and will be used against them.

    High profile people can easily slip up – just look at the Mi6 agent that put information and photos of him and his family on facebook. Not the brightest move, eh!

    EDIT More upset fans! @calvinharris why u dont u go away ur a twat on twitter! Loser. – Oh dear :/

    EDIT Just checked his account again, and he’s lost 10 followers in 2 minutes!

    LAST EDIT He’s actually released a video called Jam TV – maybe its a way of him trying to make light of the situation?

  • Twittersquatting is the new Cybersquatting

    Im getting sick to the fucking back teef of trying to register twitter accounts for my personal and business use – and some fucking drongo has already snapped them up.

    For example, @olly is registered and not used, @adidas is registered and not used, @ol is registered and not used.

    Need i go on?

    I have tried contacting twitter support and asking to kick them off so i can have them – no joy! I have even tried tracking the people down that own them but still, no joy.

    There needs to be something built in to twitter that, if a profile is registered then never used  then it should be removed.

    Losers.

  • Twitter making famous people, less famous?

    I was reading a blog post from Murray Newlands as im a follower of his on twitter. He commented on how lots of famous people are joining in with the twitter revoluton and are joining twitter.

    One of the most famous twitterer’s is Stephen Fry, he was one of the first people that i added as it was actually him talking about it that made me use it. I also follow Davina McCall as shes funny – that’s about it for tv/film celebs. I also follow people like Matt Cutts who in his own right is a celebrity – but for very different reasons.

    It got me thinking about the whole concept, and started doing some deeper digging to see who i pack of twitterscould find and potentially speak to. I was amazed at the amount of profiles there were for famous people – and by the looks of it MOST of them (if you can find out the real ones from the fakes) are actually by the real person – not some agent or staff member.

    I guess as twitter is so simple, and can be updated so easily it just makes it a convenient way for people to let their fans know what they are doing whenever they are doing it.

    I also started thinking about the “Six degrees of seperation” theory – surely things like Twitter make that seperation less? Is it now one or two degrees of seperation?

    I do find it amazing that these people who have only been seen in magazines and tv etc are interacting with the world directly, allowing anyone to contact them by simply writing them a private message.

    One problem with twitter, is that it seems to be wide open for attacks of some kind – i bet they have a terrible problem with people spamming it, i know i have had a few people add me then days later they have been kicked off.

    Twitter has won me over, its now become part of my daily routene to check my twitter page in a morning – and when i do something i now feel compelled to tell the world im doing it.

    Like a cool t-shirt i saw, said;

    Twitter – the messaging system we didnt know we needed until we had it.
