For our club to embrace 'Twitter' doesn't strike me as an expensive exersize, and not an overly time consuming one. I'm happy to be corrected about my lack of knowledge in this area.

What I do know, is that organisations when looking to invest resources should look firstly at 'low cost, high impact' projects, which would be where 'Twitter' and 'Facebook' should come in.

Both these media maybe just fads, but even if they are, we have to be active in the area. If they are superseded by another medium, then we jump on board that train.

Just because many of us older members of TC don't understand or use a technology, doesn't mean we shouldn't embrace the opportunity.

Feels good to be a blue believer seeing those pics


I'd just like to see the club leaders directly interacting more in small ways with the membership, whether it be by twittering or more CFCTV or whatever. Give the members more of a feeling of ownership and being part of the day to day running of the club.

Never too late to give the lockers a new coat of paint...

Ok, so we've established that Coutts is TOAB. My question is, who do we know of who would be better?

I wonder what that PR bloke from the Iraq war is doing these days?

Nothing like old fashioned pick up the phone and call communications.

Was stitting having a coffee with colleagues this afternoon when the mobile rang, it was Ian Coutts responding to an email I had sent to him and Greg Swann last week.

I've had a crack at Ian for his OOF notifications, but also think he deserves a plug for making the phone call personally.

Can u post what was discussed rafa?

Facebook (with pics, videos, etc) will be infinitely more valuable as a marketing tool than Twitter, and if there is any difference between the updates on Twitter and those on Facebook, I would be very disappointed in the club. If we're not copy/paste-ing the same thing, we're idiots.
