Twitter

Taking from the Chonicle thought I'd post this heads up for you Twit's so you's can follow the players that you aren't.

LOTS of Newcastle United players are now on Twitter, and below is a confirmed list of genuine Toon stars.

We have pulled this together as there are a lot of fake accounts out there pretending to be real players and spreading lies about the club.

But here is the definitive list, checked with the players themselves by our chief sports writer Lee Ryder, who is on Twitter as @lee_ryder. His blog is also available at @blogonthetyne.

You can also follow all the latest news from your Chronicle at @EveningChron, and all the latest Magpies news at @ChronicleNUFC.

I must admit i think Twitter is generally ****e, but it has it's uses. I'd like to ask some of these players some questions.

 

hate twitter. full of self indulgent twats.

 

I'm getting more and more tempted to sign up

 

Sign up, be a 'self indulgent twat'. Its great.

 

Twitter is canny for getting in touch with people you wouldn't have a chance to speak with in real life; really helped for me interviewing a few big name DJs, producers & musicians over the course of my uni degree.
One even sent me a video on a DVD through the post of their own studio setup and their approach to mixing/studio techniques. I would have never had a look in without it.

So aye, being a self indulgent twat is great

 

Michael Owen being the perfect example.

 

That's great crack from them, credit where credit is due

I think I will take your's and NWPJ's advice and join the revolution.

 

It's good for keeping up to date on news that's relevant to your interests, and for completely unfounded rumour. I don't like the use of it to detail every little thing that happens in your day, I don't give a **** how random people's days are going.

 

This. Same with Facebook if I'm honest.

 

I follow footballers and the odd mate (out of politeness) but the main reason I signed up to twitter and the main reason I will never quit is down to this legendary fella: http://twitter.com/#!/TheBig_Sam

 

Totally this! What makes people so arrogant that they think we give a **** about the smallest things that happen to them anyway!?

 

Twitter, nah not for me. i keep in touch with no ****er on Myspace.....

 

I used to think I was relatively technologically clued up, but I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was. I had a Blackberry phone and had no idea how to work the ****er and I just don't understand Twitter at all.

 

i posted this awhile go lol

 

You posted this on *my* thread a while a go.

Anyway theres more on there but I can't be bothered to put them all up. I haven't ever posted on my twitter and I just read it.

This twitter account can be hilarious at times...

Big Sam's is the best though..

 

Rep!

That's exactly the same as me until I lost my blackberry. I think that's the best thing I ever did as it would have been getting slammed against the wall!

 

Lost mine in a taxi after a night out in Preston. I borrowed my girlfriend's old Nokia, which was one from around the time that colour screens first came out and I actually preferred it. It was a shame to lose all my pictures and videos, but the Nokia had a little flashlight I could use and I could play snake, which is more than I could do on the ****ing Blackberry.
