 I went on holiday to south and a world without tv last saturday and stinky iplayer have already removed last saturdays Dr who.  I know they were meant to do that on Friday but I had high hopes that I could avoid having to wait and wait and wait for it to appear on BBC3

Em (culturevultures) does do an awful lot, but mostly she tweets and retweets about interesting stuff other people are doing so that folk can find out about them. Folk who don't have a Twitter stream running all day tend to unfollow and use lists to look at the more verbose people/feeds separately from the rest of their stream. And those of us who do have it running all day keep everyone followed, but use things like TweetDeck with columns to divide people into groups.

So kinda if you only have an hour, you only look at the people you know and/or need to see, and if you're at a loose end you look at all the stuff that's going on in Leeds or politics or whathaveyou. TweetDeck also has the benefit of global filters, so you can filter out hashtags about stuff that bore you - I point people at this when they moan about my X Factor livetweets.

That reminds me, I need to talk to you about social services at some point (because sometimes I find the council to be an intimidating monolith, etc).

I do like the website of culture vulture I hasten to add. I may be wrong but it felt like there was a week of lots of people throwing questions out there the week after the john barron blog on guardian went and I lost my temper with them all and the links were often through that feed. I confess I assumed tweetdeck was a phone ap and haven't worked out how to filter in or out, I just look at the feed of the 40 or so things I have on there and that does for me. I'll click on the hashtags they put in, see if there's anything interesting as a result and that's about the level of my interatcion. someone mentioned responding to tweet conversations the other day in the pub but I've yet to see any of those. Lists seem to take a very long time to set up so I've started to do one but got distracted. Definately don't do politics on it, (which may be why I've not seen anything that looks like a conversation) it's more the friends news and what activities could I do if I had time kind of thing I'm after

Not yet, because that seems to involve either emailing a general email address that nobody replies to for about three months based on past experience, or phoning a number. Phones are pretty much what I am worst at, I am crap on the phone (and can't hear properly, either).

will see if the useful poster by my desk at work with the phone nos on also has other useful info. The email system has changed in the last year so it may be worth emailing again.
