Texting for free, phonies on Twitter and new national parks.

03/09/2012

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Texting for free, phonies on Twitter and new national parks.

Texting for free, spotting fakes on Twitter, and a row over new national parks.

The businesses who will sell you 'fake' followers on Twitter, how to send text messages for free, and why farmers are fighting plans to create two new national parks.

How so-called "Twitter dealers" are helping businesses trick customers into thinking they're more popular than they really are. And how you can spot phonies on the internet.

Why farmers are fighting plans to establish two new national parks in Northern Ireland - and what they and the government can learn from land owners in the South Downs.

And how to send text messages for free - and who is trying to stop you.

Presenter by Julian Worricker
Produced by Paul Waters.
