New to Twitter?
Any internet enabled device with web access allows you to access Twitter. These devices include smart phones, tablets and desktop computers. You can access Twitter using your browser or any of a number of client applications, mostly available for no cost.
Although you can see recent tweets on the relevant Twitter pages (see “follow me” buttons above), to find out what Twitter is really about, you need a Twitter account. It’s free, and must be linked to your e-mail address. Go to Twitter to sign up. We strongly recommend trying a client application on whichever devices you want to use to get the tweets. You can find more on how to use Twitter at the Twitter help centre here.

Some caveats:
We will not be actively following “@” “mentions” or “D” direct messages, so please use e-mail for feedback. Also, although Twitter is a fantastic service, they do reserve the right to suspend tweets for short periods when their system becomes overloaded. We may change the format of messages from time to time or suspend them where there is no active interest in the specific tweets.
