Thanks to the wonders of Qwitter, I get to see which Tweets lead to folks unfollowing, an interesting activity. Given I tweet about multiple topics from the same account, it’s not surprising that there are off topic tweets as far as followers are concerned! I was kind of surprised the other day though when a tweet about late night visibility analysis prompted the loss of a number of users. I was puzzled: I often tweet about GIS things and what I’m doing, why was this different. Then my partner pointed out it was a bit negative; I was twoaning again. Twoaning, I asked…? Yes; tweet + moan = twoan, from which comes twoaning, the act of moaning via twitter. Hmmm. A new word is born, but one which I shall try not to do too much.
I came across this video on YouTube, which I have been using a bit more recently and have even set up a profile where folks can see all the videos I have found or uploaded. Don McMillan demonstrates how not to use powerpoint; a must see for all people who use powerpoint (or similar presentation tools).
Looks like there will be a shortage of Dr Who after the latest series airs until *gulp* 2010
On the plus side, the fifth series is confirmed and there are some Dr Who specials lined up in the meantime, written by Russell T Davies so should be good
There’s a bit more info on the news pages of the BBC Doctor Who site and on BBC entertainment news.
