That means using Facebook. I've sworn off. Disclosure: $previous_employer is trying to be a player in the social space and $current_employer is a player. But my choice of avoiding FB is not influenced by this -- heck, I signed up for an FB account while at $previous_employer. I just rarely use it. My stance is that G+ currently has an audience which is heavily skewed towards the sysadmin/programmer demographic and since I'm using G+ anyway, it's not a problem for me to set up a brand page for Exim. Meanwhile, tweeting about Release Candidates has gotten us a little more testing than just my mails to exim-users, as some folks don't read the mailing-list but do note and retweet the RC messages and even actually test the RCs. So exim-users is and remains the best place to stay informed on issues such as release candidates, forthcoming changes, etc, but for stuff that doesn't warrant sending to exim-announce@ but is a little more announcey, G+ and Twitter make sense for augmenting the reach of the messages. I don't care about popularity or such; I do care about getting testers for release candidates, patches, etc, and for letting people know when we're about to break things in a new release. -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
