This strangulated burble, with its Pixabay picture of Iron Soldiers from Worpswede in Germany, is aimed squarely at the near-continuous streams of consciousness known collectively as Twitter.
Some call it "the Twittersphere", others "the Twitterverse", or "Tweetverse". It is a melting pot of all that is, both good and bad, on the Internet.
Twitter is so handy for searching for, say, traffic conditions near Milton Keynes, or the progress of a passenger flight from Auckland to Los Angeles.
Equally, however, it is too easy to stumble across something you'd wished you hadn't: lewd and crude, no holds barred. The app has no setting to prevent it, and it's so keen to show you, as you type, what it thinks you want to see, that... well, 'nuff said!

@pgntwo I use Twitter daily and have a huge number of people following me but I've never used it like that before.

@kevin1877uk Not many following me, nor I them... But search for info, it is a mine of useless as well as useful info.

I have never investigated Twitter. No desire to.

Twitter is really on a different level.. They should put up a disclaimer "Use Twitter at your own risks"
It's a very popular social media platform but they should still be sensitive and protective of their users.
