correct on both counts. That's why announcements ARE made on the website, in addition to Twitter, in addition to Facebook.

Not correct. Anybody can put any old crap on THEIR OWN profile just like they currently do on this forum. Twitter is a dumbed down version of forums.
Just like Lord Didsbury, I am not a fan of twitter as it is unameniable to decasyllabic warblings.
But, to the old farts such as Cashman (yer own words) here is how it works;
Andy Holt wants to gossip, or share an update of works, or share an aerial view of the ground that someone has done with a drone, etc etc
"look at this" he tweets ... (max 140 characters)
That then goes out to everyone who has 'followed' him (currently 1335 people)
1335 people see that tweet, and if there is something likeable they will retweet it to all their followers ... so @asfcofficial then forwards the message to 40,000 followers, @officialassc forwards it to 316 followers, @murraydawsonSDA forwards it to 718 followers, @RobRuss forwards it 21 followers etc etc
In theory it is the fastest way of getting information around a large group of people.
Here's how a website works
The silver haired surfer has to want to take a look at a particular website, he/she either clicks the bookmark on their device, or manually types in some stuff. He/she arrives at said website and then navigates their way around looking for something new to crop up. Having already checked the website this morning I'll not be doing so again today.
In all honesty I rarely check the website at all anymore. I go on to find the matchday commentary and sometimes have a quick shufty around whilst there. Other than that I only check in when something on twitter or facebook prompts me to click the link and check out the full story.
So in short, Twitter or facebook has now become the digital age billboard directing you to the newspaper - or website.
