Another way is to use Twitter mobile.Just enter the following address in your Mobile phone

There are so many more other applications to use.Here is a list of twenty Mobile Applications you can use.

Not all Applications will work on your mobile phone. Try them out and find the one that works for you.

My introduction to Twitter

I got introduced to Twitter by Rafiq Phillips.



I registered on Twitter out of curiosity. At first i couldn't really get it. But the more people i followed the more information i received and after a while, using twitter became clear to me. Follow my tweets here.

Using Twitter I am always up to date with the Latest news. Currently i am following iol and BBC News to give me the latest updates in South Africa and around the World.


I enjoyed using the IM to track certain words in Twitter. It displays any update of anyone around the world that updates in Twitter using the word you are tracking.
Usually i track the word "coffee" when i explain the Twitter Tracking option to someone totally new to Twitter.

Using Twitter exposed me to new Sites and tools e.g del.icio.us , digg , muti , flickr , amatomu , helipad , kwippy , facebook.

The list can go on forever......

Twitter brought me to Plurk which is another micro-blogging platform.

I will always use twitter to greet everyone in the morning and to receive the latest news and information updated randomly by the "Friends" i follow.

You can add your comments to how you got introduced to twitter and how twitter exposed you to a new WwWorld....

Warning for Cell C and Vodacom

If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying
that, he or she is a company engineer, or saying that they're checking
your mobile line, and you have to press # 90 or #09 or any other number.
End this call immediately without pressing any numbers.

There is a fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09
they can access your 'SIM' card and make calls at your expense. Forward
this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it. All mobile user
s pay attention if you receive a phone call and your mobile phone
displays (XALAN) on the screen don't answer the call, END THE CALL

IMMEDIATELY, if you answer the call, your phone will be infected by a

virus..virus..virus..virus..virus..virus..virus..virus..virus..virus

This virus will erase all IMEI and IMSI information from both your
phone and your SIM card, which will make your phone unable to connect
with the telephone network. You will have to buy a new phone. This
information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia.

PLURK the new Micro-blogging Platform

I have been using Twitter the past 2months. and with the Twitter IM updates being down the last 2weeks PLURK has stirred the social scene.

I am using PLURK for a few days now. I do think that the more people you follow will make it unreadable on the calendar, Gantt-like chart. We will see how things develop over the next couple of weeks but Plurk looks amazing.

I am sure it will not replace Twitter. This is how the Plurks Calendar looks like.

Newton Soccer lacks discipline

Saturday 1 June 2008, 4PM.

The battle started when Paarl and Newton took to field in the league match.
Both teams looked determined to win the game. The game started after referee Wilmore Nyman was approached to take charge of the game.

Newton looked like the stronger team from the start. playing good soccer and having most of the ball possession.

Only problem started when Newton's discipline decreased during the game and started to take it personal and some heated moments caused the referee to take out the Cards and force discipline.

2 of the Red Cards was issued because the players swear at opponents.

we all know the rules..
According to FiFA rules in chapter 116 LAW 12 -Fouls and misconduct
- Cautions for unsporting behavior
- Acts in a manner which shows a lack of respect for the Game.
- Verbally distracts an opponent during play or at restart

A lot of fouls were committed during the game. Made the Game distasteful for the rest of the spectators. One of the Newton Supporters threw a bottle at the referee after issuing the 2nd red card.

Newton manager was very disappointed in his team's behavior. We hope they can go back to the drawing board and work on there there tempers and discipline.

Paarl Won the Game 2-1 After 3 of Newton's Players were sent of. Newton had the Game in their hands but threw it away with bad discipline.
