I know this is true, Nigel, and technology is wonderful. I just get a bit confused by it all sometimes. :?

Yes you sharp eyed thing. :D It simply would not allow me to have Lucky Star as a username. Even adding strings of numbers only got the "name already in use" answer. So I gave up and used an old email pasword of mine. :roll: I'm not expecting to do a lot of tweeting though, I only signed up for the Society.

We now have over a hundred followers on Twitter! This has built up from scratch in just over a couple of months. We haven't posted much of late as Tony is locked into a room, deep inside The Cave, busily working his way through thousands of periodicals. However, it is a further tool in promoting the Society (and EnidBlyton.net!) which may bring new members our way!

Well done on 100 followers. I do follow, but don't post much, as I'm still confused with Twitter. :?

Just caught up with this. Loved seeing the society on Twitter and I have been following you from the beginning and have even retweeted a few :)

Just to say I use twitter every day for my business so if anyone needs any help or advice with it then am more than happy to help.

I think it's safe to say to those on Twitter, Anna, Nigel, Julie and Ming, who I believe have seen my "Twit feed" can say that I tweet far too much!

I love having the society on Twitter though! I try and retweet when something comes through!:P

It's not as complicated as people think (I promise) though it is simpler than facebook, it just takes some getting used to!

However, if anyone likes to give it a go, I would be happy to help out if help is needed! :)

I re-tweet too! We now have 177 followers, and we get new followers most days. Although we mainly tweet about Society news, we also mention updates on Keith's EnidBlyton.net.
