Twitter is fast becoming a fun tool that has many uses. It allows people to explore their interests in fascinating new ways. Over the past few months, I’ve been following Tweets releated to the UK and London. I’ve discovered some pretty cool British and London Twitters, so I thought I’d share them with all of you.
