Seemingly twitter is the in craze in the web world at the moment, for those of you who have no idea what it’s about I’ll try and explain. You have 140 letters/characters to say what you’re up to, this is then posted on to your twitter feed which you can either keep private for just your friends to see or allow anyone to see in the ‘public timeline’. Your friends are people you agree to let follow your feed, so in twitter speak these are your ‘followers’. That’s all there is to it really…. oh,you can also add pictures to twitpic as well if you so desire.
There are 2 groups of people when it comes to twitter. The first group are those that say ‘what’s the point?’, ‘what a waste of time’, etc. The second group are those that totally get it. I don’t need to explain anything for the second group as they understand what the fuss is about. Lets just take a look at the first group, what I would say to this group is twitter is not for everyone, if you don’t get it that’s absolutely fine, but all I ask is don’t moan about those

Over the last few months the state of the UK economy has come under much scrutiny, today sees the news that we are officially in recession, after the economy shrank by 1.5% in the last quarter of 2008. This has almost been presented as good news by the news companies, they’ve said it quite proudly today.
Anyone who has worked on the high street for the past year has know things had been slowing down, the bank problems have tipped things further and have just brought about a crisis in confidence in the economy and so this in turn stops people spending and so the economy slows down further. Are things as bad as the news keep on saying? I don’t know I’m no financial expert.
What I do know is:
- It’s not just the UK’s economy in trouble, the world’s economy has slowed.
- If the TV and Newspapers keep on about the bad financial status the country is in it will slow the economy further, have they talked us in to a recession? Well I don’t think they’ve helped.
- As we know the banks have also had their part to play in the current situation, too

Last season as a Derby County fan it was pretty hard, however, I thought one major plus was we had a manager in charge who would stabilize the club and give us more organization both on and off the pitch, that man was Paul Jewell, I thought he was a great appointment, he seemed to what to build a future with Derby. This season has not shaped up the way I’d hoped and I have been disappointed with some of the purchases he has made and some of the performances. I still rate him as a manager and feel he could be the right man for the job given more time, people seem to want instant fixes.
Unfortunately, Mr Jewell announced his resignation on Sunday and that has left Derby manager less again. This raises the major problem at Derby, a stable manager (or lack of it). Just to emphasis how big a problem this is, Derby have had 8 managers since 1995, of those 8 managers one was Jim Smith who lasted 6 years, this was the last time there was any stability at the Club (also the last time we had some consistency – coincidence? I think not!).

I was going to right a big post about the American election result, about what it means and what I think about it, but you know what? I can’t be bothered because I just don’t care enough, the American election process goes on so long I’ve completely lost interest by the time the results come through. So he’s my great post on the results.
Barack Obama, the Democrats won!
(I think that covers everything!)
