[LINK] Stil Twittering Away Time

[Stephen Wilson]

G'Day Roger.

I've been meaning to ask: why are you so anti-Twitter? Believe me, my 
own initial reaction was skeptical -- nay, curmudgeonly!  And I remain 
cynical about Social Networking in general as offered up by Twitter, 
Phacebook, Google et al. And yet I have found that Twitter is actually a 
very useful tool.  It has become my major news feed for security, 
privacy, identity management, biometrics etc.  There are thriving 
sub-communities with every level of specialisation you could ask for.

Try it: You might like it ;-)

Cheers,
