IBEXY: 1. It should be around N1/tweet on MobileWeb. 2. Any phone company, The current Number is 40404, but You can still update w/ +44762801423 = Standard SMS Rate. 3. iLike TwitPic because all my Tweets are stored there. Mixing Two Picture host is like wasting ya time cuz U can culled those images back, That's my 2 cents! |

twitter is really great to use I use blackberry internet service and as such the price is fixed i use both the twitter application for bb and ubertwitter , i use twitpic but i guess there's nothing wrong with tweetphoto also. |

mama-gee:Twitter is good for those whop knows its worth. and its useful to them because they joined because of certain reason and not just for fun. its a status thing- what you want them to know- and its being boring may be linked to following users you find boring. - Hypernigeria |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by mamagee3(f): 10:34pm On Jun 08, 2010 |
^^The site is boring, nothing more or less. |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by kobikwelu(m): 11:04pm On Jun 08, 2010 |
i use it on and off, still dont get the idea of "following" somebody, so if i dey toillet, i go tweet "i am using the loo" abegggiiii !!! in naija here, we aint that carried away with peeps biz, we actually have LIVES to live, yeah!!!! it dey dry, \ give me nairaland anytime |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by switch47(m): 11:10pm On Jun 08, 2010 |
kobikwelu:you dont get it do you? Nairaland and twitter are not for same purpose and for your information it still depends on the reason for following people. people who follow punch, vanguard, BBC , CNN for example get headlines and people wqho are interested in politics knows when to follow the campighn tweets so it depends on what you are following by the way twitter is way above nairaland in usefulness globally and not just to Nigeria. |

Am not too big on the social networking thing (am not even on facebook). I think they are useful but this twitter business is just too much! Imagine me "following" someone on twitter. Dat wan go put lalas for ma pocket? Make i hia word abeg! CNN and other stations will say:"follow us on twitter" dummies! If want to follow CNN I will do so-BY WATCHING CNN DAMMIT! |

Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by DualCore1: 2:31am On Jun 09, 2010 |
IBEXY: Twitter is for very jobless people and very serious people. I fall in neither of 'em categories. Facebook too. I still have a facebook account cuz I have to upload my photo albums of do-it-yourself dismantling of electronics. The tweeting idea has never made sense to me. You just waste time and blab, people "follow" you and blab as well. At the end its all blabs. No offense intended to any tweeter, just talking my mind. |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by IBEXY(m): 6:13am On Jun 09, 2010 |
HTML5: Thanks HTML5. I have already added these to my research writeup. The rest of the responses am grateful for too. Twitter is not as interactive and interesting as NL. I agree. Thanks Admin for featuring my post on the home page. This to me is like landing on Digg front page HTML5: If I get you right, unless you use 40404, you will be charged standard SMS rate. On average, what is standard SMS rate accross the providers. |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by davenet(m): 6:17am On Jun 09, 2010 |
Am on Twitter but barely post updates. It's kinda dry for me especially with the idea of me following someone's post or people following mine. I'm more of a Facebook addict. I spend practically half of my time daily "facebooking". |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by hob(m): 6:48am On Jun 09, 2010 |
eva since opening dat twitter,ve 4gotten it exist |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by IBEXY(m): 7:15am On Jun 09, 2010 |
Funny enough Nigerian twitter clones are coming up everyday: gistcaster yarnable how will they survive then if half of the post here sees twitter as boring? I guess the twitter model cant work in Nigeria. |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by Nobody: 7:48am On Jun 09, 2010 |
I've never used Twitter, so can't comment. From just browsing the site, it didn't do anything for me though. |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by Tolulop001(f): 9:25am On Jun 09, 2010 |
i dont think the twitter fever caught on in Naija like that, the idea is kinda weird tho, 'following' people and tweeting about every single detail of your life, heck i have a friend that updates her tweets while driving, crazy |
Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by olumii: 9:38am On Jun 09, 2010 |
Twitter is fun and if you follow the right tweets you get first hand gist. CNNbrk news, BBCbrk news are two of the best tweets to follow. If you like entertainment you can follow E!news too. A lot of naija artist are on twitter and you can follow their everyday updates. I use BB twitter and the application is quite stable and easy to navigate. Using twitter on Zain BB BIS is cost effective also. |

Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by suxes2005(m): 10:14am On Jun 09, 2010 |

Re: How Much Is Twitter Costing You? by hubreality(m): 10:23am On Jun 09, 2010 |
No extra cost tweeting, I got Zain Lite 1K a whole month subscription for my mobile using Opera Mini. Twitter is fun and great for me. I use twitpic, twefeeds, twellow their yellow pages. Good traffic generation for me as well. |
