It gives you a basic heads-up on what's going on, though I must agree the sheer volume of it is bordering on obscene. Another thing - has anyone noticed quite how depressing the BBC England feed is? Every one is either a murder, fatal car crash or grizzly court case. It should lighten up a bit. Martin,
I find the BBC Twitter feeds really useful, especially when ouf of the office. It gives you a basic heads-up on what’s going on, though I must agree the sheer volume of it is bordering on obscene.
Another thing – has anyone noticed quite how depressing the BBC England feed is? Every one is either a murder, fatal car crash or grizzly court case. It should lighten up a bit.

The memory isn't a problem, but the battery drainage and annoyance from the constant buzzing of my phone on vibrate was driving me to distraction. I use the RSS feed only — and it's nowhere near the top of my reading list. I’ve given up on sending Twitter to mobile.

Assuming you have all twitters fed through to your mobile phone and you have a fairly bog standard phone contract AND you have fairly limited memory on your phone, how long does it take for the SMS memory to fill up? Not very long I'm guessing. Mine filled within a day once without the BBC or any other newsfeeds. I blame Suw Charman, but I've since figured out how to turn her off. This is all useful stuff, but to be more useful there must be more intuitive ways of filtering the information. I’ve looked at your Twitter Martin.
