This fortnight’s events have shown the real worth of Twitter and how to use it “properly” unlike the Twitter Twats from July’s blog.

Now we need a collective name for “our” kind of Twittering.

Oh my gawd, nooooooo! Not my fusty ol’ Private Eye, too! What is happening if even the Eye can’t resist the siren call of the Twitter thingy?! (Look, I’m so distressed that I’m starting to punctuate like Glenda Slagg!? Geddit?!?!)

It’s like Invasion of the Body Snatchers! Or a zombie movie. One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us…

But I do agree with Mr Buckley, my fellow Eyelet, that recent events have shown that Twitter can be good for so much more than general twattery. Well done, Mr Fry et al who “tweeted” after Moirgate!

About time too

“A name for our kind of twittering” – I suggest “trilling”, being a noise birds make and more sophisticated than “tweeting” or “twittering”. The singular would be a “trill”. Too bad if the Twitter Twats don’t like it. What do we trill about next, though?
