FED/NADAL ????? NAH !!!! LETS TALK ABOUT FACEBOOK AND TWITTER

First topic message reminder :

Oh no I hear you moan not another thread about the Fedal Rivalry... well yes it is and yet it isnt. I came across this article which I believe gives a slightly different perspective to these two tennis aces.. Talking more about the men behind the racquets .. so to fans of both maybe a chance to see the man you love to hate in a somewhat different light.

Wow Lydian, to pull the world number 300+ out of the bag, you must be a real connoisseur! Of what though, I'm not so sure...!

And sorry Haddie - this thread has taken some very unusual turns!

HM .. why worry you are the only one to apologise. seems we are allowed to talk about anything on here . its hardly cricket let alone tennis but hey!!!! Schools out !!!

Haddie, you know what's its like in-between tournaments.

Speaking of lightweight posts, here's an update on Nadal's latest equipment... http://ph.omg.yahoo.com/news/rafael-nadal-gets-superlight-watch-164941866.html

The answer then Lydian is to do what I suggested somewhile ago... have a thread for just that...!! A let of steam thread .. a little boys room !!!!!

What one could do in a neighbour hood bar/pub is now on the Internet with Facebook/Twitter/Instagram...!

Internet makes global, what should have or could have stayed local.

Should the pictures on your 'wall' be a reflection of who you are, just like which tennis player are you a fan off?

I fear for Laver. No Facebook/Twitter, or does he? Never looked.

I don't need "a little boys room" or to let off steam Haddie thank you very much.

This article is a good enough read:

More so for the comments at the bottom...the perfect FEDAL debate...which I often find more interesting than the articles they follow.

I admit I have FB which I use for friends and family I have scattered in Canada and the US and Australia. I have some in the UK. I find it easier and cheaper than using the phone. Twitter I don't have and never will. I can't get my head around how it has caught on and I do recall as mod using the tennis account and just really the set-up and mechanics left me feeling window licking good.

I do find it amusing on FB when friends slate each other or the relationship update stuff. That's where soaps go wrong! I did try using Skype and fell out with it. I would say I am not that well versed in internet media and how it works in it's entirety. I find using I-Tunes challenging enough!

LK Download SmartVoip. 5 (euro cents) connection fee and I speak to my son in Canada for 24hrs if I want.. I tel Uk from Spain for the same I would give you the link but Im not allowed

I have to admit Haddie I am more of an e-mail guy nowadays than the phone. Thanks for the idea though.
