Keith: “I like Facebook more than Twitter”
Amanda: Do you know why
Keith: (uses intonation) ‘I don’t know’
Amanda: you don’t know
Keith: yeah
Amanda: why would that be, can you explain why you wouldn’t prefer Twitter
to Facebook or Bebo or Myspace or those kind of things
Moira: “it is different”
Amanda: okay different as in it’s not as social
Moira: ‘yes’ (nods head)
Harriet: I k-e-e-p f-o-r-g-e-t-t-i-n-g a-b-o-u-t m-y T-w-i-t-t-e-r
Amanda: Now that’s really interesting
SLT: Hang on, right so is that yes, you forget about Twitter ‘cos you use other
things,
Harriet: yeah
Amanda: I find Twitter really hard to use and I find it quite hard to
understand with all the hash tags and the @’s and the abbreviations. Will you
are madly saying yes, yes, yes, so I presume you are agreeing with me
Will: ‘yes’ (raises brows)
Amanda: so what kind of things do you use, I mean I know you use Facebook
‘cos you just mentioned that but do you use anything else

Erica: “tweet submit tweet”
Amanda: so you sent that to Harry from One Direction
Facetime was being used by Ken,
Amanda: so what sort of things are you interested in apart from Facebook.
Facebook and…
Ken: “Facetime”
Amanda: Oh I know Facetime and that’s where you have a camera link up
isn’t it?
Ken: yeah

whether she was in the room when her female friend was using Facetime on an Apple
device.
