Being two short ones

A man called Matthew Hirtes contacted me. His little description on Twitter says Going Local in Gran Canaria author covers Spain+ for the likes of Telegraph Travel & The Huffington Post. I was impressed. Well I've heard of both newspapers and I actually read one of them.

He was asking me to do something with him on Spain Buddy which is one of those English language sites with lots of information, news and interviews about Spain mixed in with the inevitable advertising.

Always happy to get involved in a little self promotion I said of course. But the contact had been via Twitter. By the end Matthew must have been tearing his hair out at my failure to understand what I'm sure he considered to be simple instructions. I read Twitter entries reasonably regularly but I've never understood quite how the topic linking works with @ and # so I'm a bit of a passive user. We got there in the end though so if you got here via that link sorry for the circular motion. Plenty of other entries below to keep you amused.

Oh, by the way talking about using things I don't understand I've got a Tumblr account too now. No idea what you're supposed to do with that. It's probably for young people.
