No thanks--I am connected enough and often am buried.

> Hi folks - I forwarded this to the list so you can all see the link.

> I believe the way this works it:
>
> Brad has created a Masschestnut account on Twitter
> You each, as individuals, can also create an account on Twitter
> You can set, within your personal Twitter account, which other Twitter 
> accounts that you wish to "follow"
> If following an account, for instance Brad's Masschestnut one, you would 
> receive "tweets" whenever anything is posted to that account.
> The relationship is not reciprocal; Brad would specifically have to set 
> the masschestnut twitter account to  "follow" your personal account, in 
> order for your tweets to show up on it
> Furthermore, your Twitter account can either send any tweets you receive 
> via accounts you're following, to:
>   - your cell phone text receiving ability
>   - an email account you tell your Twitter account to send to
>   - or you can log on to your Twitter account on the web to see tweets 
> you've received
>
> Since Twitter can send to cell phones etc. it can alert us to upcoming 
> things, and it might be nice for assisting coordination of events in 
> progress.  For instance, right before an innoculation, we could 
> potentially use Twitter to communicate some last-minute issues about where 
> people are meeting, delays, timing of people arriving various places, etc.
>
> The Masschestnut Twitter account can be publicized in our newsletters so 
> that interested members can subscribe and hear when and where we'll be 
> doing things.
>
>
> Does this sound right, Brad? Anyone have any other thoughts on how we 
> could use this?
