I reckon there might be a case for pasting some of the good stuff from
this list into a wiki, forever googlable and a good reference.

I think chris has a point. As yet I have not come to terms with twitter
or facebook but am certainly interested in doing so after my exams at
the end of October. Then I hope to concedntrate on getting to know
these well in November.

Barry,
I'm inclined to agree!
Now having said that for folk who may require answers about
Twitter should then this list be the way to go?
Haven't joined the Twitter community as yet but when I do I
would like to be able to ask possible questions on this list or if Chris
goes ahead, on his.
There is a bit of info out there anyway on the Twitter matter
for us!
The occasional question about Twitter I would imagine I'd be
asking.
Best,
Tony Sweeney

Honestly, I think there's no need to create a list for
such specific narrow
subjects. Not in the home-end-user blindness community.
It's too small of a
market and these general access technology lists aren't'
exactly over ran
with these topics. The list volume isn't' back breaking.
I've always found
our UK lists on Tech quite light, compared to some of
the lists state side.
Think about it this way what would people talk about if
they moved to a list
for each Social Network, then each program, then each
anti-virus, then each
version of that anti-virus etc. What is it they say,
"variety is the spice
of life" in conversation as well as other things.<smile>
Furthermore, most people that ask a handful of social
networking questions
on say BCAB or Access-Uk and get on the social network.
Will then, start
using that social network to ask questions. Not only
about the social
network but other things as well. It's one of the
points of being on a
social network. Having a group of people who you can
communicate with.
It's more customised for your way of thinking and is a
resource where you
and others can share information as well as personal
aspects of life.
Compartamentalisation is an effective tool but not used
this way. I think
your motives are decent but there's watering down in too
many lists.
So in a nut shell, I don't believe we're over run with
discussions on
twitter here. Certainly not to the point where another
list needs to be
created to handle all this traffic.
Regards,
Barry.
