Gary Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have succumbed and signed up for twitter - Sheila it has been watching you already and i didn't do anything!!! I did this on the strength of someone saying it would be good for business. Hopefully I can retire next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Haha, knew you'd give in eventually. You are following me because it's me who invited you to join. If you read back through your messages, you'll see that *I* told you it would be good for business Glad to see that your Dad beat you to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 So the Rock God has a Blog, this site, Facebook and Twitters to follow what he's doing. He'll be blogging about Warrington Worldwide on Facebook whilst twittering away...confused Now how do I find what he's twittering about It's ok I'm now 1 of only three followers of Gary Gary are you following Larnce Armstrong on your bike? He'd better watch out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The easiest way to deal with Twitter is to download Tweetdeck. It allows you to group the information you are receiving, so that you don't miss important messages from peeps like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 struggling to see what all the fuss is about - I've only got the PM at No 10 and reuters stalking me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 How many are you stalking? It's pretty reciprocal. I like it for the news updates and the twitters from Warrington Wolves. If you use Tweetdeck you can do regular searches. For example, I have Warrington as a search, which is how I found your Dad. I can also see the people who mention Warrington Wolves and got to know about the Mills and Boon event at Bank Quay - not that I went There are regular updates on the trains into and out of Warrington. That's just an example of one search. If you were to have an account called Warrington Worldwide and linked to your daily articles you'd probably get more followers and hits for your site. I hope I'm correct in thinking that hits on your site means money for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 You mean Gary gets money everytime someone goes on the WW site .... Does that mean from all of us as I've never had to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I might be mistaken but doesn't more hits mean more advertising revenue? Oh, blimey. I'd better hide before Gary comes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 The more visitors we get, the more people endorse our products the more business we can generate. It actually costs us money in bandwidth charges when more people visit the site. Unfortunately the advertising doesn't yet come any where near covering the amount of time and effort which goes into paying for the service - but it is getting there and has become a very well known brand now - 10 years old next month!

Gary Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm beginning to lose faith with twitter!! I am registered in my own name - yet when I search for me I don't exist. I have done a warrington-worldwide page and again it doesn't exist when you search for the phrase warrington or warrington-worldwide or even user name warringtonworld I am told that my own email doesn't exist - and yet it clealrly does - and despite reporting the problems a week ago no one from twitter has responded. The fact it has so many flaws means it has little chance of surviving against things like this forum and facebook and all the other social networking websites like myspace and bebo e.t.c.

Sheila_P Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Just a suggestion to get around this situation. Download Tweetdeck and set up permanent search for Warrington. If I remember correctly it returned 64 instances of the word Warrington, a lot of them referring to the match. If you were to follow those people, they would most probably follow you in return. Once they are following you they will see everything you say and will probably visit the WW site, especially when they know you get exclusive video interviews. If you decide to download Tweetdeck and need a bit of initial help with it, give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
