The Manics and Twitter

Hey everyone, I have been sneaking around but never dared to post but now I registered I have been a Manics fan for over 10 years which is probably not that long but most of my Manic fandom days have been lived mostly internet-less - due to me not having a computer at home and only going online in internet cafes sometimes. Now my love for the Manics has returned after a couple years. I wondered how they would feel about having a Twitter account? Also Richey? I am pretty sure they wouldnt use and abuse it like many celebs do nowadays but it would still be funny. What do you think?

I don't see the point in it myself and don't know anyone who bothers with it or knows what it is.

oh I'd love to see Nicky's updates on Twitter. that would be ace

and Richey, like someone said it before (maybe it was Nicky? don't remember exactly who was it) Richey would either love Internet as a source of short and easy knowledge or loathe it as an invention that reduced to rubble relations between people.

and welcome to FD

I bet Sean has one, but definitely would never let the fans know. It's probably full of bite sized rants without any punctuation.

I think it would just be hilarious thinking what people write on twitter like 10:03 - Just had breakfast, 10:05 - Reading the newspaper

I could imagine Richey liking it - another reason not having to go outside..

thank you

I reckon Nicky's updates would be dull. Richey's could be utterly hilarious if he used it.

I'd like to read Sean's.

I don't really know much about Twitter, but a friend of mine had been on Twitter a day when she discovered she had a number of weirdos following her She shut her account down the next day!
