… so what does it actually do?
I’ve followed stephen fry and i’ve tweeted what I ate last night … what next? what is it actually for? I just dont get it 
That seems to be just about it!
I joined last week couldn’t get round it at all.
You basically tell the world, what you’ve had for tea in a few words!
That is it. Carl Fogarty had Roast Lamb for Lunch yesterday 
That’s NOT what he told me!
I use it as a news feed. I only have a couple of people I know who follow me and who I follow. The rest is mostly pages of things that interest me such as the news wires, weather, sport, traffic updates etc etc (oh yeah, and some lorry driver called Luke I think 
) For all that it is brilliant as it just feeds you the headline and a link if you want to know more.
Twitter is a work of genius. It’s where I head to first if a big story is happening. You can follow all sorts of interesting people. The only people that think it’s just people tweeting about what they had for dinner are idiot comedians who’ve run out of material. That said I did just tweet about having duck ■■■■■ for tea.
Some links to worthwhile Twitter pages like traffic news or anything that may be helpful to drivers would be a good starting point for those of us who just don’t get it
Personally I’ve tried to understand Twitter but the usefulness of it still evades me

Not guilty…Plenty of material in my locker!!! 
So is there a Trucknet twitter feed for traffic updates? Sounds like it could be useful to follow. I sometimes listen to the traffic updates on the radio, but to be honest they only ever warn me about traffic jams that I’m already sat in.
