Not bad, up to 21 followers so far. sms updates could be fun

Hey Lee, nice to see you using almost all 140 characters allowed every time. That's stems from the skill of whittling ones texts to avoid using two SMS per send! We've all been there!

Yes can get expensive when having an arguement over twenty texts, But as net trying to fit in whole words rather than destroy the language by shortening to 'u' as have to sometimes on sms. 320 or so was supposed to become the norm, hasnt happened yet.

306 was due to the the standard text about 8 years ago but they brought media messaging in instead so it never happened.

What's the etiquette when someone adds you? just add them back? just a few of them I dont want to appear in my updates as they're not really relevent but I can understand why they may wish to add me, do you have to add back?

@ Lee, no, you don't have to add back, I block most people who start following me, there seems to be a lot of spam if you look at their tweet pages, a lot of the time there is no content or spammy content when you view it, yet they have loads of followers and the following loads of people, pure spam, I just block anyone spammy so I don't have to read their stuff in my updates.

But there's no point not letting people add you is there, if your updates appear on theirs?

Yes there is, it says this when you block someone:

Blocking will prevent this user from following you. And you won't see their updates in your timeline. Are you sure you want to block?
