Kate Kelland follows you on Twitter

[Cheshire]

I suspect now she's written her article she'll unfollow most of the ME people. She doesn't want to learn about ME, she was just trawling for tweets to quote.

Or preparing another article?

People are entitled to follow whoever they want on twitter, either temporarily or permanently. Not sure this really warrants analysis.

@NelliePledge needs a Twitter presence.

I’m on there not as NP and not keen on having an active presence. Only went on FB so I can post in our local closed group.

Glad to see there is someone more curmudgeonly than me today.

Sorry, I’m just a bit fed up of it all at the moment

That's ok, we know the feeling. I have plenty of curmudgeonly days and I get very prickly with the long suffering people around me.

Hope it passes and you feel better soon.

You may be interested to know that Kate Kelland, the journalist behind the Reuters Michael Sharpe story, follows a large number of S4ME members on Twitter.

We know about @Paul Watton & @dave30th. The list also includes as @Spoonseeker & Simon McGrath.

The list probably has been partly compiled by Michael Sharpe himself. I guess they are hoping someone will say something daft or inappropriate.

More than likely. Ms Kelland should focus more on mental health issues, I understand that is her speciality.

I don't understand Twitter. Is not the person being followed automatically informed at the outset? Shouldn't everyone be aware of the fact that they are being followed?

Twitter: the word means bird sounds or meaningless chatter. A person who twitters is called a twit. In practice, Twitter is a forum for emotional outbursts and gossip.

The ancients, who had not yet educated themselves to be fools, thought gossip to be a hazard so great that they inscribed a prohibition against it on stone tablets, which they considered holy word.
Those ancients didn’t know much about technology, they knew a whole darn lot about personality.

Another way to put it; Twitter is a minefield where the mines are marked by interesting sites or sounds meant to draw you closer.
