Coeliac/gluten-free tweetup…. 2nd June 8–9pm

27/05/2011 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  3 Comments

Those readers who ‘tweet’ will know exactly what I mean – to those who don’t, apologies!  A ‘tweetup’ is a get-together on Twitter – you all sit round your computers or your mobiles for an hour and ‘chat’  on Twitter – a formula that is now common in many online guises.

You may well be thinking that what we actually need to do is to get a life – but – it really is a very good way of contacting and communicating with others with shared interests, be they health, professional, commercial or purely social and, as Ryan Giggs and many others have found to their cost, scorn the influence of Twitter at your peril.

Anyhow, to my frustration since we have just launched our very own dedicated coeliac site, I shall not be around in person on June 2nd as I shall be at the Guild of Food Writers awards ceremony at Fishmongers’ Hall. However, thanks to the wonders of Tweetdeck (an excellent Twitter-managing programme) I can at least schedule lots of tweets with a promise to respond to questions and comments later.

For anyone who is intrigued but does not yet tweet – it is very simple to sign up. Just go to www.twitter.com – and follow the instructions! If you want to join in the conversation you will need to preface each tweet with the ‘hashtag’  #gftweetup’. (Google ‘hashtag’ for an explanation – it will be clearer than I am likely to offer!)

Happy tweeting!

    This sounds really interesting. My first ever tweetup! I’m a bit behind the times with this twitter lark but will join in and see what happens. Thanks for letting me know.

    Michelle it was really good fun. Hope you can make it next time. Twitter got a bit over exhausted at one point but on the whole, very successful. Hope you can make the next one. I wrote a bit about it here: http://whatallergy.com/2011-06/gftweetup

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
