Nati is a socialite apparently :D I'm a networker who is a conversationalist and is coherent, popular and inquisitive :)

Haha. Yup I'm a socialite. Right. I'm also likeable, sociable, cautious, chatty and coherent.

Quite happy with that, but I wanted 'Boffin academic' status like Timsk: Boffin, ordinary (hmm, he's too busy being an 'academic Boffin' to tweet), sociable, cautious, taciturn (interesting) and academic.

'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

Noone knows who you are. :confused:

Yeah, I gather that, but from the trend of this Forum, and the amount of comments on my blog in 2 weeks, I just added it! I got me a hundred + followers on Twitter. I think it's mainly because I haven't done much posting/blogging on here and am a bit of a newbie.

Tips for your tweeting...

* You've not got a user profile! Having one is a major way for like-minded people to find you

* Add a link to your website to your profile to draw more traffic

* Why not tweet a little more often so people can learn about who you are?

* Try sharing some interesting links you've found

* Use hashtags to join in popular discussions or online events

You know, it's actually quite spot on.

A hacker going by the name of Hacker Croll has apparently gained access to an administrator account at the micro-blogging service Twitter.

Posting on a French online discussion forum, Hacker Croll claimed to have hacked into the account of Jason Goldman, one of Twitter’s directors of product management. To back up the claims, he or she posted 13 screenshots of Twitter’s account management interface.

The screenshots suggest that the hacker was able to access the accounts of several celebrity Twitter users, including those of the singer Britney Spears and the actor Ashton Kutcher.

Late on Thursday evening, Twitter made the following statement in its blog.

<!--#include file="m63-article-related-attachements.html"--><!-- BEGIN: Module - M63 - Article Related Attachements --><SCRIPT type=text/javascript><!--function pictureGalleryPopup(pubUrl,articleId) {var newWin = window.open(pubUrl+'template/2.0-0/element/pictureGalleryPopup.jsp?id='+articleId+'&&offset=0&&sectionName=NewsTechWeb','mywindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=1000,height=711');}//--></SCRIPT><!-- BEGIN: Comment Teaser Module -->

“This week, unauthorised access to Twitter was gained by an outside party. Our initial security reviews and investigations indicate that no account information was altered or removed in any way. However, we discovered that 10 individual accounts were viewed during this unauthorised access.

“Personal information that may have been viewed on these 10 individual accounts includes email address, mobile phone number (if one was associated with the account), and the list of accounts blocked by that user. We have personally contacted Twitter users whose accounts were compromised via this unauthorised access.â€

The company added that no password information appears to have been changed, and no personal messages viewed.

This is the second time this year that Twitter has been hacked. It seems that Hacker Croll used the same method as the earlier hacker. He or she simply correctly guessed a password based on minimal information about the target.

On March 5 this year, Twitter admitted that 750 Twitter accounts had been broken into and had a link to a webcam site posted on the accounts.

At the time, Twitter issued this advice to its users: “Keep in mind that strong passwords can help prevent hijacked accounts. Twitter offers a password strength indicator to help you choose a strong password when you sign up.†Perhaps now it should issue a memo to the same effect to its own executives

Twitter tests users with changes

Is your Twitter feed looking a little quieter than usual?

If so, that might be because of a change to the service rolled out last night that is causing palpitations among users.

It used to be the case that you could control the types of @replies you saw in your feed. The old guard of Twitter, like me, not only saw replies to their updates from other users, including those they don't follow, but also the replies of their followers to people they don't follow.

More recently, it was changed so that the default setting for new users was that the only replies you saw were from the people you follow to you, or to you and another person you also follow, and not those replies from your followers to people you don't follow yourself.

But you could change this to see all replies, and adopt the system above.

Are you following me?

So what do the changes mean?

Well, if @ruskin147 replied to @billt and I followed the former (tech correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones) but not the latter (tech journalist Bill Thompson) that reply would appear in my Twitter stream.

However, Twitter have now changed the settings so you can no longer see the replies of people you follow to people you don't. According to Twitter:

However, receiving one-sided fragments via replies sent to folks you don't follow in your timeline is undesirable. Today's update removes this undesirable and confusing option.

But it seems many users' don't find this underdesirable or confusing. In fact, it is the method many people employ to discover new people to follow themselves.

And the worse part is, Twitter has taken away any control from the user to change these settings.

It would seem that it has done this to streamline the replies feed in order to become less intimidating to new users, who are suddenly overwhelmed by replies that are mere fragments of conversations they are not party to.

What Twitter has not realised is that it is this very aspect of "overhearing" a conversation between people, some of whom you know and some you don't, that makes the service so appealing.

It is what leads you into new conversations, debates and to meet people you otherwise would not have stumbled upon.

Given the noise on Twitter about this change, I wouldn't be surprised to see Twitter follow the lead of Facebook who have made U-turns on feature changes into an art form

I am with you here, Alan. I am really annoyed that Twitter has done this. In fact, one of my Tweets this morning is:

    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
