I guess my problem is that Twitter is by definition ephemeral. Freshports
has a continuing value regardless of what happens to be cool at the moment.
If someone is going to do a good job, then having that work go up in puffs
of electrons on a regular basis is a waste. We might as well set up a IRC
chat for support, or some other kind of real-time (not captured) method.

Anyway. Way off topic. Zak can do his thing any way he wants. I probably
won't use it, but somebody might and if it scratches his itch, so be it.
