Rushton's on Twitter (a cheeky update)

Just a flying visit to report on how my Rushton quest is evolving

• 22 Rushton's following me on Twitter

• 12 Rushton's on the world map below

But I suppose the best thing is there are now Rushton's following Rushton's all over the shop and no-one has blocked me yet haha

Told you it was a flying visit

Rushton's gone mad - Twitter crazyness part II

Wow Wow Wow, what a phenomenal response to one tweet and a hours worth of pressing "follow"

I honestly can not believe whats happened with all the Rushton's, for a couple of hours tonight the Rushton name took over Twitter and I swear if it wasn't for Michael Jackson's death we would have made it onto the trending topics list.

There is some crazy shizzle going on, people making Rushton friends, there's even the early stages of a Rushton relationship forming, there are male Rushton's and female Rushton's, Company Directing Rushton's and School Kid Rushton's, Mummy Rushton's and Daddy Rushton's. I am hoping I will be able to add some of the other Rushton's tweets to one of my blogs (if they will let me) so you too will get to experience it.

Things are moving pretty fast and there are now more and more Rushton's logging in so who knows just where this is going to end up, there is now even a world map on my site, somewhere down there under all the blogs, right at the bottom of this page, that I am asking all the twittering Rushton's to mark there global position on. How cool is that..!!!

I am getting worried that this could turn into a bit of an obsession now, but I did set a rule to start with and that was quite simple 'The Rushton has to be on Twitter nowhere else, not facebook or myspace or bebo or contacted randomly through google etc, this is purely a Twitter thing' and all I can say is to all Rushtons out there, get yourself on Twitter and join the party.

And yes its probably been done before and I know a well known comedian did something similar but this has never been done by a Rushton before especially not a Rich Rushton (otherwise I would know about it) and thats the most important factor.

And next time Twitter poses the question "What are you doing?" I may smile to myself and think about adding this.....

Twittering Rushton's Part 1

I like Twitter, I think it is great, I try to avoid the whole "celebrity" following thing as much as possible and try to keep it a bit real and only add people that I feel bring something a little different to it without completely flooding it with updates so when my friends actually do post an update it doesn't get lost in the mire.

I always see people on Twitter using the 'Follow Friday' hashtag which is used on a Friday advising people to follow someone else who you may find interesting.  I have never used it before and obviously you cant use FollowFriday on yourself but thought if there was anyone else who I would recommend someone to follow then how cool would it be if it was another Rushton.  So there it is, my mind starts ticking over and I begin to wonder how many active Rushton's there are on Twitter and with it being Follow Friday then maybe I should follow a few of them.

I put the following as my latest update 

"rushtonrichis on a quest to follow as many Rushton's as possible on twitter, not sure if its is a good idea, hey, why dont you follow a new Rushton too"  

and then I start my search.... 5 pages of Rushton's, right what do I do now.? who do I add first.? are the other Rushton's going to think I am a bit mental.? I decide to start at the top and just blitz it, Rushton by Rushton I click on the follow button.... 1 page down, 2nd page next, then onto the 3rd.... Where do I stop.? Do I not add a Rushton when they don't have a certain number of followers or not add them if its been a long time since they last submitted an update.? But this seems a little unfair, especially seens that surely each Rushton deserves an equal spot.

185 Rushton's later and I am happy with my work so far, Rushtons in England, America, South Africa, Spain & various other places dotted around the globe, now just have to see if any recipricate and follow me too without thinking I am completely insane.

Will keep you updated

Rich obviously a Rushton
