Hi Mark, Yes, with a program like The Qube or Qwitter, you can do all this very easily. You can even follow someone's individual timeline. I would recommend downloading The Qube and reading its comprehensive documentation. If you need any Twitter training, please contact me off list and we can help, although not for free unfortunately, but not expensive either.

You mentioned about setting up feeds, is this for paricular people you are following? If so how do you do it and can you reply to particular messages through the feeds? Also as a general comment not access related for those who might be famous and may follow an awful lot of people how do they do it? thanks Mark Bishop ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vince Thacker" <vince@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2012 3:54 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Twitter > Eleanor, Twitter works in all sorts of different ways.
