Robbie McEwen on Twitter
Tour de France sprint sensation Robbie McEwen is known for both his explosive speed and his unique humour. And one of the joys of today’s internet darling – Twitter – is that it gives you a sometimes-personal insight to the people who are the faces we know.

Dylan Roscover on Twitter
Sunday, May 17th, 2009Dylan Roscover is a really popular topic right now. The digital artist uses several social network sources, including Twitter. It’s surprising that he has such as small following (67), considering the the volumes of search traffic indicate a lot of folk looking for him. Maybe there’s another Dylan Roscover..? Or maybe this Dylan Roscover Twitter profile is an imposer..?

Follow Rory on Twitter : he’s also “planning, discussing, and strategizing (is that a word) twitter domination”.
Tweetie for Mac Tip #1
Saturday, May 9th, 2009Holy Mac! Tweetie for Mac is THE BEST Twitter client ever. But a few folk had issues when trying to use the multiple account feature. If the multi account set up (found in Tweetie > Preferences > Accounts) won’t work for you, simply try this little trick …..
- Enter you password into the password box FIRST
- THEN enter your Username into its box
- Click “add Account”
And all is well. Why this “reverse entry” works, I have no idea. But it did for us and several other Tweetie lovers.
