My "twentee" was a little slow to respond to me but I was delighted when she tweeted to say she was getting the hang of Twitter at last. Twentoring is a great idea as it's only by using Twitter that journalism students will see the possibilities. Even I, with many years of experience behind me, was slow to take up Twitter and discover how useful it can be. It does take a while for the penny to drop as it's not immediately obvious how useful Twitter can be. Very happy to have been able to help.
