So, this week, I finally got to grips with Yes, I know, I'm way behind everyone else on this but I've always been a Johnny-Come-Lately with this social media stuff. I was just finding my way around when everyone else moved on to . Now all the cool kids are on Twitter...or at least they were until I arrived. I feel like I keep turning up at parties just as things are winding down and am left sipping from lukewarm cans of lager with cigarette ends floating to the surface. Metaphorically.

This week I also found my way to which is a great site if you're interested in following the work of individual reporters or looking for the latest articles on particular subjects. Hey, even this blog gets included, but there's lots of good reading there too.

Here at ±«Óãtv Radio Scotland our production teams are keen to connect with audiences using every nook and cranny of the internet. We have a couple of workshops lined up so that we can find out more about the possibilities and the pitfalls. That's why I signed up to Twitter and have been sending out tweet after tweet. I want the staff to think I know what I'm talking about. For a change.

If none of this makes much sense I should explain that Twitter is a micro-blogging site where you update your status using no more than 140 characters. You can imagine that's quite a challenge for a wittering windbag like me.

If, however, you want to "follow me" or have me "follow you" then I'm @jeffzycinski.

See you there.
