About

1. What exactly is twickerati?
In a sentence?
It’s news, comment and ill-informed opinion on local issues for Twickenham residents, aka the twickerati.

In 2 paragraphs?
Twickerati is a Twickenham based website for all those people who had hoped to find out something about life in Twickenham only to be faced by lists of plumbers in Hounslow, references to the “home of rugby” and a bunch of sites where, yes, you really can be the first to review the Pizza Express in Kingston. And, when we say local Twickenham website we really do mean local – we’re talking TW1 and TW2 thanks very much. It’s all about the ‘hyperlocal’ these days… apparently.

Twickerati aims to be informative but not too serious, vaguely humorous but that’s rather subjective, positive but not overly so and something else which has yet to be defined. Probably something about fostering a community of common interest and promoting Twickenham, particularly local shops and businesses. Either that or circulating unsubstantiated rumours. And that’s where you come in.
