1. A 140 character news feed hardly takes any management. 2. Most professionals and popular people have a twitter. (I dont though.) 3. Would you rather us (dev community) take control of it or some random person? 4. Indeed. RSS is great. Twitter is a much more social way or sharing news though. No need to put all our eggs in 1 basket. Its hard to call though, I dont know anyone with twitter in Perth AU. We're all a little slow on the tech fads. But I know its really popular elsewhere. As such, I think its a great way for people to get updates on E and to show their support. -Toma. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
