I don't actually visit Google directly - I just put whatever I'm searching for into the address bar and it eventually takes me to the google search results. Namesco - I suspect that one might creep up the list as I copied you and went with them. Accountingweb - don't visit that much. I got emails from them and if there's something interesting I will visit. HMRC - what's that? Never heard of them. ACCA - I'm not even ICB elevl III yet so I can't see me visiting ACCA for some years.

I'm surprised Twitter is on my own list as I tend to visit that via an add-in to Google Chrome or on my phone. It does have an annoying habit of crashing my computer now. Now so much twitter - but the yFrog image site that people use when posting images to twitter. Twitter now has a top images thing when you click on someone's name so if there's a yFrog in there my computer will crash. It effectively renders Twitter useless for me via the browser.

"The Pie Shop" is actually a football forum - it's proper title is "Pie and Bovril" named after a combination of food and drink only ever consumed at a football match.

Hi Peasie,

with me the google is mainly for links.

When people patch a link to a website I copy the link then paste it into google. That way Norton and McAffee (I know, I know, OCD again) check out the site before I open it to (a) ensure it's actually safe to open and (b) check whether the poster is legit or a spammer.

I'm begining to feel as though I'm missing out on something with Twitter as I must be one of the few that has never twittered (or indeed felt any compulsion to do such)... I think that you can guess already from my previous posts that posting in 180 characters or less is never going to sell a site to me!

I'm actually quite impressed with Namesco. The mistakes have all been mine and their help desk has proven excellent. At the moment I seem to be forever tinkering with the site which explains it's high showing on my list.

Sitemaster took a bit of getting used to but once on top of it the site that I've built actuallt feels quite good. I'll be patching a link from my signature on here when I'm brave enough to let Sheila check for spelling and grammar mistakes.

I'm not a football follower... Used to support Wolves and that sort of weanes you off football! I thought Bovril was a Birmingham City thing! Remember the old Jasper Carrot sketch where Brum are playing away at Man City. At half time Jaspers mate goes to get refreshments but then shouts accross the Man City supporters "Ere Carrot. They hey got no cowin Bovril" a choice of beverage which of course immediately identified them as Blues supporters.

Regarding Twitter - it might be a good thing for you to sign up to even if you never actually sent a tweet yourself. HMRC send out various tweets - though annoyingly they do repeat the same ones over and over again. I get a lot of my news via Twitter. A lot of which is broken there hours before it hits the mainstream media. It does get worrying when a name appears (in trends) that you haven't heard of for a while and you automatically assume it's because they have died. Janis Joplin appeared the other day and I got quite a shock to find out she'd died. Actually it was because Amy Winehouse had joined her in the "27 Club". I get most of my Scottish news via twitter as I follow STV News. If something interesting appears I will visit the link for fuller news.

That's a good tip about putting the link into google to check it out for safety.

I half expect to see them start a Tweet with "we apologise for the delay in replying"!
