I watch and wait. I'm still on the nursery slopes of Twitter. And I'm making it up as I go along. So far I like the taste of Twitter. I'm already prepared to defend it... 1. Twitter isn't compulsory. Use it because you want to, or find it useful. 2. Nothing wrong with following celebs. It's fun, and they don't clog up your Twitter stream anyway. 3. Use Twitter in the way you want to, not because you think you have to fit someone else's mould. It's your stream, and yours to play with. 4. I follow loads of news outlets, and think my RSS feeds/iGoogle could soon look rather old-school. 5. I want news. But if I wanted sock monkeys, I could find them on Twitter. I know this for a fact. 6. I also want to follow Oxfam, Save the Children and other international development agencies. Never have I felt so in touch with the world. 7. If you twitter to say you're in Tesco, fine. It's taken a valuable 30 seconds of your life to do so, but if it was good for you, great. I know your tweet will disappear down the tree very quickly. 8. If you don't like Twitter, unjoin. 9. There are times when I opt out of Twitter. All for the best. I’m no early adopter. I watch and wait. I’m still on the nursery slopes of Twitter. And I’m making it up as I go along. So far I like the taste of Twitter. I’m already prepared to defend it…

1. Twitter isn’t compulsory. Use it because you want to, or find it useful.

2. Nothing wrong with following celebs. It’s fun, and they don’t clog up your Twitter stream anyway.

3. Use Twitter in the way you want to, not because you think you have to fit someone else’s mould. It’s your stream, and yours to play with.

4. I follow loads of news outlets, and think my RSS feeds/iGoogle could soon look rather old-school.

5. I want news. But if I wanted sock monkeys, I could find them on Twitter. I know this for a fact.
