Richard Herring seems to be able to use it;

Bad man! They can't draw a Hitler moustache on top of a Hitler moustache! (29 minutes ago)

@17:22 -29 = 16:53

maybe its only the millionaires who can use it like Herring and Ashton Kutcher more examples of unfair elitism to fuel my vitriol

For those os us with internet weblogs to attract people to, it's done wonders for the stats.

Alex, once they see the productivity increase at your workplace - they just might yet!

OI too thought my company had blocked Twitter. I can stop sweating now.

How am I supposed to know what puns journalists and comedians are coming up with??

Wasn't it a terribly bleak few hours without Twitter?!

(Is that a bit tragic?)

Hey, I'm still without Twitter, which I attribute to my wi-fi mobile broadband connection. I will try and log on at a BBC computer this afternoon. It's obviously not fully back up yet.

I can't concentrate because of all the beautiful women and stinky middle aged men around me. Guess where I work!

Dear Andrew,

excuse my ignorance, but when did you convert to twitter?

last time i noticed you mentioned anything about "social networking" i think you were very anti facebook..

was quite surprised that you are a-twitter, all of a sudden.

not that its a problem.

i've pretty much given it up, for the very reason people mention- i wanted my productivity to increase.

awrabest

I was going to comment something nasty about Twitter and its infantile users but then I thought I'd just tweet something about it instead.
