So me, Chris, Shano (Tube) and Kaipee are all on untappd. It's a beer-checking-in app for your phone. Like Instagram, but for beers. If any of you fancy getting involved and adding us, do so! It's good craic and you can see what others are drinking in pubs near you. So would be good if on holiday or something to see what everyone's drinking in the nearby pubs.

Anyway, if it's your type of thing, go for it...

Nay bad!

You should post this in the Beer Board?

Also should include what your names are on untappd especially if they are different to here. ;D

Sorry in advance for being negative, but untappd updates have too be one of the most annoying updates on twitter for people not using untappd.

Have to agree there, when I used untappd I didn't link them up for that very reason. Same goes for any application though, I couldn't give two ****s if you have done a 3.782km run or if you need a plank of wood for a shed in farmville.

I haven't used it in a while, I felt a bit ignorant in the pub when I was trying to select my beer, rank it, choose location etc...

I drink enough without publicly advertising the fact!

i dont post beer checkins to twitter unless its something special.  people in untappd will see them.
badge updates tend to auto post but after an inital burst they tend to be not that often

but more often then not i just forget about it

Now that you remind me, the badge updates are the most annoying part, as they serve no purpose at all from what I can tell.

Know what you mean but I unlinked twitter and untappd as I hate that sort of spam on twitter!

Shur twitter is very annoying. Some people are constantly tweeting, and it's all rubbish like "must put the bin out", "go on ya good thing" and so on.

I thought that was arsebook?
I find Twitter good for beer promos or whats on Tap, Headline 57 is a master at it and I find myself drifting there because of it. Damn those Mermaids :)

iain_todd

Aye when I first started I couldn't turn it off Twitter and my feed was just constant updates. Was really annoying. But now I've turned it off and I only bother people who give a shit!
