It's a steep learning curve ;-) Do you know how to send a message to someone, who *isn't* following you? I thought Twitter might be useful on the Tek Tawk programme, for people to send me twits... but I don't want to have to follow 50 or 60 people, if you know what I mean. It looks like you only receive twits from people you are following, and can only receive the private "direct messages" from people you are following and people who are following you. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks Alistair. It’s a steep learning curve ;-)

You mean you actually knew that before looking? I am very impressed. How about an official TTR coffee mug (considering I was working on TTR at the time)?
