Twitter

On the world wide web, new sites appear quickly and often solve a problem. Twitter is one such website, which at first i didnt ‘get’ but now i do. So i have set up my account at twitter.com/Londiniumcom and started to add friends and other people and topics to my account.

Looks interesting as another news feed, source of info about what is happening.

Going to look for ways to integrate my twitter account with php with codeigniter and see what is available
