So, well, I have for a while now, but on the whole, I use it to notify updates on
- this blog: http://tashuk.wordpress.com
- YouTube: http://uk.youtube.com/tashphoto
- Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tash
- and another photo-blog, I have linked for uploads, direct from my Nokia E71 mobile phone. This is Vox at: http://tashuk.vox.com
Using the RSS feeds from these site, Twitter will notify you about the latest entry on them.
So …. my Twitter username is: tashuk
Although RSS feeds and feedreader can do this of course, Twitter is a little ‘richer’ in its application. Further, if you are a Vodafone user in the UK, it will send an SMS alert to your mobile, if you want it.
txt to +447624801423 <FOLLOW tashuk> from other & international mobile phones.
To stop receiving texts, send <LEAVE tashuk > or <OFF> to stop all notifications.
OR
Send <FOLLOW tashuk> to shortcode 86444 from Vodafone mobile phone.
OR
If you don’t have a suitable mobile, able to take advantage of these services, simply go to http://twitter.com where you can still follow events on the internet.
Cool eh?
