    Hull City players tweet sensible things :emoticon-0100-smile whilst others deserve to be banned by there clubs for what they tweet :sad: <wah>

    Hope DQPR ban Barton for starters. <ok>

    I'd look at Twitter more but half of it seems to be people posting messages begging for attention from followers so you end up with maybe one interesting comment in 20, if they stopped this 'retweeting' I'd use it more

    Was just looking at Bartons twitter and he says he is very 'Darwinian' in his thinking, bet Darwin is turning is his grave at that statement!

    No big characters with big ego's at our club, thats the difference. It's good for the fans to talk and be a part of the players life', show them passion for the club. It's good to see.

    Do you think young Cam's mind is elsewhere when he says "Snatch and Grab" instead of "Smash and Grab?

    I have twitter and agree the City players on there have been sensible with their comments but I totally agree about the re-tweet thing. Someone the other day asked "retweet to save jobs at Peacocks". How the hell can retweeting anything save jobs. I personally hate those kind of retweets. If you retweeting with information that you think your followers will find interesting then fair enough but anything else I don't like.

    Maybe they should put in an option whereby you don't see the retweets just original posts, I couldn't care less if its somebodies dads birthday or whatever and half the time I think they make it up to catch some celebs attention

    Just read the ones on the site, fair play to Folan for his positive tweet. Crap footballer, but showed some class in that message

    Looks to me like someone has been sensible and given them real guidance about what they can and can't do on twitter.

    Retweet is key to the whole thing, especially for major business and others who need their followers. Retweets allow people to gain quick recognition without spamming and following to many people and ruining their followers to following ratio.

    I'm understanding retweeting as basically the same as forwarding an email to everyone in your address book, and I can pretty much work out that if you have 5 people following your tweets and you're only following 1 person's tweets then you've got a 5:1 ratio. So I've got two questions:

    1) How is asking people to retweet things any different to those chain emails that come round? Surely it's no different to spamming like that?

    2) That ratio thing, I don't understand why anyone would care about it, but other than businesses using it as a marketing tool who needs their followers?

    NB: I'm not being an argumentative git for once, I don't use twitter so it's legitimate questions.

    I use Twitter quite a bit so I'll try and answer.

    Retweeting is basically just that, you're copying someone elses tweet and tweeting it yourself. The only things I've ever retweeted are jokes or things like team news that my followers might be interested in but might not follow the origninal tweeter themselves (@Goochie124 btw ;) )

    On number 2, not a clue, I really don't care, mines terrible, but if I unfollowed anyone I'd miss things I'm interested in myself!

    Apparently the French are big on re-tweeting.

    my take on twitter is the 80/20 rule.

    80% of what's on my timeline is irrelevant rubbish but i tolerate that for the 20% which is cracking banter and genuinely funny stuff.

    just followed you goochie, i live in da'Hudd too so any home games i can make I'll drop you a tweet see if you want a lift or owt.

    @bigblunderboy

    the hull boys on there are well behaved, they just do boxset DVD's love cooking and play computer games. a real credit to our club.
