Twitter Updates for 2009-06-09
- @MatthewWells It sounds like congratulations are in order. in reply to MatthewWells #
- @miafreedman Definitely no tooth fairy. Or else the tooth fairy could (pretend to) take the tooth and deposit the money in the bin. in reply to miafreedman #
- RT @miafreedman If you haven’t seen Tracy Grsimshaw’s tour de force against Gordon Ramsay… http://bit.ly/DV4N2 Worth watching. #
- I’m appalled by all the people defending Gordon Ramsay and his misogyny. http://bit.ly/ggvXR #
- Here we go again. I jumped out of bed early this morning to finish article and then passed out in the kitchen. Okay now but behind schedule. #
- @james_gilbert He’s under a lot of pressure with his restaurant chain expanding too quickly right before recession hit. I don’t care though. in reply to james_gilbert #
- @travelrants The best reviews are anonymous. I’d still rate blogging freebie review if I trust the blogger and look at others’ experience. #
- @travelrants I mean if the reviewer looks at how others experience the hotel, not just writing about their own jolly. Prefer anonymous tho. #
- @transfuga I’m probably going to miss the performance but wondering if I can come along to a OCG rehearsal some time and have drinks after. in reply to transfuga #
- @travelrants I don’t trust sites like TripAdvisor for consumer opinion. Easily gamed by hotels leaving fake reviews for self & competitors. #
- @jester @kate_day This is a real problem with the BNP getting seats – it legitimises them and makes it harder to deny them a platform. in reply to jester #
- @jester @kate_day Mind you, it’s also a problem with the electoral system. In terms of % gain, Greens did better & off higher base. #
- @evarley I don’t know for sure but I think it is. It’s danger money. in reply to evarley #
- @Pelcor Beautiful! How durable is cork as a fabric? in reply to Pelcor #
- Good post from @marionnestle on how fuss re high fructose corn syrup is distraction and white table sugar is no better http://bit.ly/7NgJX #
- If you think you could do better than the #apprentice contestants on the chocolate task, see this competition. http://bit.ly/TA3Yj #
- I really enjoyed @ourman’s piece on why circumcision won’t work in the fight against AIDS in Africa. http://bit.ly/uk6Fx #
- @ourman When you say ‘older females’, do you mean ‘older than you’ or do you mean that they are not 22? in reply to ourman #
- @ourman They are older than you and you are not a baby so I’ll let you off the hook for referring to them as ‘older women’. #
- @ourman Plus I’m younger than you, so I can’t even take it personally.
in reply to ourman # - @ourman The sun is a killer for sure. Many Brits try to make up the difference in the ageing process with alcohol, cigarettes and bad diet. in reply to ourman #
- By me on EcoSalon >>> Support Biodiversity: Stay in a Storybook Thatched Cottage -… http://ff.im/3LP6k #
- It’s cool today but still, summer is traditionally BBQ season. Love this EcoSalon post on how to have a greener BBQ. http://bit.ly/yHHBH #
- How your passions as a nine-year-old can teach you how to be happy today. http://bit.ly/uPyvp (from @mumstheboss via @childcareuk) #
- Do you believe truth is relative or absolute? I believe truth is sometimes relative but some lies/fictions are absolute. #
- I understand the desire for an iPhone – I’d quite like one myself. But I don’t get the desire for existing iPhone owners to upgrade so soon. #
- @Gadling I had a great time in Dakar – visit the markets, dance to great live music in the clubs, visit Goree Island. http://bit.ly/XBE5Y in reply to Gadling #
- @handlewithcare I don’t see that the current iPhone is undesirable overnight. I guess I find the overt consumerism a bit distasteful. in reply to handlewithcare #
- An unpopular view perhaps, but If people didn’t want to lock into a contract, they could have bought an unsubsidised iPhone. Just sayin. #
- I like gadgets fine, but I like them for what they can do for me, not just because they’re new and shiny and I can impress my mates. #iphone #
- RT @TheEcoist: For 1st time, Afghanistan has banned the hunting or trading of at-risk species, inc rare snow leopard. http://bit.ly/4qlFV2 #
- If anyone in SF area IS upgrading iPhone, I’ll happily take old one to use once I hit stateside. I like iPhones but I like recycling more! #
- Not asking for a freebie (but won’t turn it down if offered!). I’m willing to either pay or to take over a contract. #iphone #
- RT @ginidietrich @LenKendall 10 things we do on Twitter that’d make us look insane if we did them in real life http://bit.ly/aYvhH (funny!) #
- RT @pen4hire: How to be a bad travel writer. http://bit.ly/i7DxO (I love this!) #
- I’m not sure what I think about this Useless brand. It’s sort of clever and laudable but contradictory too. http://bit.ly/11Nihz #
- @handlewithcare I’m sure all iPhone owners have different motivations for upgrade and it’s not all ego by any means. I’m still uneasy. in reply to handlewithcare #
- @handlewithcare I guess I think we all need to buy less stuff. I don’t mean to pick on tech lovers but iPhones are today’s hot topic. in reply to handlewithcare #
- @handlewithcare Maybe it depends whether you grew the asparagus or made the gadget! I associate word ‘pride’ with achievement. Each to own. in reply to handlewithcare #
- RT @thewordisberry @TreeHugger Take a look at what goes into mining minerals for that new iPhone http://tinyurl.com/nh8ue6 (perfect timing!) #
- @toniandrews You obviously have good taste in music then (or similar taste to the Academy at any rate). I’ve read the book, not seen film. in reply to toniandrews #
- Reading with interest @ginidietrich’s case study on banning internal email within her office. http://bit.ly/Rnvng #
- @jemimakiss True, but isn’t the reason Tube drivers are paid so well partly danger money? in reply to jemimakiss #
- @GreenGirls @irthcomm Why can’t we say ‘ban them’? It’s worked in many places. in reply to GreenGirls #
- @jemimakiss @keithemmerson Why you’re better off with a Tube strike. http://bit.ly/15Wcc8 #
- @irthcomm Easy. All the places that have banned single-use plastic bags (both towns and countries) did so because of grass-roots lobbying. in reply to irthcomm #
- @irthcomm Obviously you can reuse and recycle the bags in the mean time but main grass-roots effort should be on lobbying for change. in reply to irthcomm #
- The Apprentice is over but Sir Alan Sugar continues – great #apprentice parody. http://bit.ly/rMW0d #
- @jemimakiss @jopkins Tube drivers are socially useful and job is unappealing aside from pay. Could have driverless trains but major upgrade. in reply to jemimakiss #
- @ginidietrich Email ban has merits for people in the same office as synchronous comms are more efficient. Not relevant for me as freelancer. in reply to ginidietrich #
- @jopkins I didn’t say Tube drivers are as important as doctors or nurses! Not about death but if Tubes don’t run, London doesn’t either. in reply to jopkins #
- @mightymur I read comparison review of Wii Fit vs EA Sports recently – will look for link. EA sports is more upper body – no balance board. in reply to mightymur #
- This post on plus-size clothing is surprisingly interesting, esp re the fabric quantities and bell curve of body sizes. http://bit.ly/pePfe #
- @reid_bradley Dude, chill out. Share your thoughts and links & @reply to people about their tweets. Don’t beg for attention, just join in. in reply to reid_bradley #
- @jopkins Nurses retain sympathy because they are underpaid, essential and when they strike, they still go to work. in reply to jopkins #
- @reid_bradley All your tweets are @replies. Why? Twitter CAN host good conversations but it’s not primarily a chat room (or dating service). in reply to reid_bradley #
- @reid_bradley Anyway, London is fine but it’s a bit cold for the time of year and the rail network is shut because of a strike. in reply to reid_bradley #
- @reid_bradley It’s also late in London so I’m turning in soon. PS I’m not attacking but I think you’ll be frustrated using Twitter this way. in reply to reid_bradley #
- @sonicpd I recommend 2 weeks off – it takes that long to recharge the batteries. Make sure you relax and have fun! http://bit.ly/QUEGz #
- @reid_bradley Why would I hate someone because they are Scottish? Anyway Scotland is part of UK. in reply to reid_bradley #
- @reid_bradley The English don’t hate the Scottish but many Scottish people hate the English. It’s the other way around. in reply to reid_bradley #
- RT @ecosalon: You’re guaranteed to feel better after reading this: http://bit.ly/z0YO8 #
