Unable to play .mp4 files on media player
Hi, My daily commute to work is usually around 3 hours a day in total. To kill time and to stop myself going mad, a couple of years ago I bought an Archos 704 media player.

Twitter
Does anyone know if there is a way to lock/protect your twitter feed only to certain users? So it's generally unlocked unless a blocked user looks at it? Block just seems to mean people can't follow you but they can still see everything if they go to yoir profile & you're not protected.
