Twitter Away, Folks — May 6th 2008

By James Marcus

The heart of Propeller, you might argue, is the conversation threads attached to each story. That's where the members bat ideas back and forth (and engage in the occasional shoving match). But for those members who wish to explore a speedier method of virtual repartee, there is now Twitter--a microblogging service that allows users to report on their lives in minute detail. For a little more information, you might want to visit the Twitter site or watch this introductory video from Common Craft:

What does this have to do with Propeller? We have created a Twitter stream devoted to our community. If you sign up for the service, be sure to "follow" PropellerDotCom--that way, you will receive updates about breaking news, top stories, interesting comments, featured members, and hidden gems. And remember, Twitter is a two-way conversation! If you have any responses, feel free to send them back to us via the service, and we'll respond in turn.
