Get BBC Devon updates via Twitter

Get all the latest updates from BBC Devon through Twitter

BBC Devon is constantly updated with the latest news, features, photo galleries, webcams and a whole lot more from across the county.

The BBC Devon Twitter feed is a quick and easy way to get the latest features from us as and when they happen.

To get the best from our feed, why not use your Twitter account to "follow" us - that way you'll be able to see BBC Devon updates whenever you log on to Twitter.

You don't have to sign up to Twitter to see the feed - you can view it via this page - http://twitter.com/BBCDEVON

But to get the best from our feed, use your Twitter account to "follow" us - that way you'll be able to see BBC Devon updates whenever you log on to Twitter.

You can also join the BBC Devon website group on Facebook.

You can also head over to the BBC South West weather team's Twitter page.

Anyone who follows the forecast knows how changeable the weather can be in our region, so Twitter is the perfect way to keep people in the South West updated.

And if you're following the weather team - David Braine, Helen McKenzie and Emily Wood - then you can tweet back and let them know what the weather is doing where you are.

You can also follow BBC Radio Devon's Gordon Sparks Plymouth Breakfast Programme , Moxham's Movies and BBC Devon Introducing.

Each link is provided via a special "shortening" service, so may start with an unfamiliar name like "bit.ly". You can be sure, though, that all our links point to BBC Devon content.

What is Twitter?

Twitter is what's known as a "microblogging" service. This simply means it's a way of sending and reading short text updates - either from people or from organisations (like BBC Devon).

Signing up to Twitter is free.

Once signed up, you can choose to "follow" (i.e. see updates from) as many other Twitter users as you like.

You can access Twitter from the web or via your mobile phone. Costs of accessing via phone will vary depending on your mobile tariff.

Twitter isn't the only microblogging service (though it's by far the most popular). Others include Plurk, Jaiku and identi.ca
