Turns out that Wossy (his Twitter username) has been using his recent, unexpected free time to turn himself on to this year’s biggest ‘buzz’, the microblogging world of Twitter. He has been letting people in on his movements (no toilet humour please); from cigar smoking to rescuing Captain Jack (one of his dogs, not John ‘here, there and everywhere’ Barrowman) from the snow.
The good people at Twitter must have been rubbing their hands together with glee following prime-time TV promotion by Wossy on his Friday Night with Jonathan Ross ‘comeback’ show. Not only was it watched by millions, but Wossy spent time discussing Twitter with one of his high profile guests and fellow ‘Twitterer’, Stephen Fry.
This must surely have resulted in a Twittering frenzy and many a new sign-up; I wonder if Andrew Sachs was one of them?
Whilst we can’t promise to be as insightful or humourous as Wossy, why not follow Mixd on Twitter?
Apparently, since the Wossy show, Twitter has experienced a 3-fold increase in its traffic. Mind you, Chris Moyles (Radio 1′s Breakfast Show) and Phillip Schofield (ITV’s This Morning) have both mentioned Twitter publically in the last couple of weeks… no word from Gordon the Gopher though.
