In fact since tweets are to followers "friends" loosely used in social network terms every time a gw staff member has a discussion with a friend concerning anything related to gw micro the list should be informed. One central location for information works in some situations but isn't practical in others. A business uses a variety of methods to interact with customers and promote product usage. Even in major league sports they provide information on facebook and twitter not available at the team website or in the team news letter. I know this firsthand having read tweets from the NBA and from the NLB Dodgers and Lakers especially in my experience. Other computer companies and computer advisors act simiarly. Check out Kim comando website, newsletter, facebook and twitter and you will see what I mean.

Up until this point I have always thought of the GW-info list as a single point for all Window-eyes information of interest. While I accept that you may believe that some of the info you post to twitter may not be of high importance, it may well be of interest to some of us who do not tweet. As I say, I like the principle of single point for information. It makes keeping up to date so much easier. I cannot keep up to date on info if you may sometimes post it to twitter, face book or whatever the latest fashion might be. Let's please get back to first principles as far as data is concerned. Thank you. Regards, John.

No one expects you to. But you also lose out on the information being presented through our Twitter feeds. That's just how it works. If you don't use it, you don't get the information. As I mentioned, if something is really important, we post to all of our lists. This was not that important. Aaron On 2/23/2011 9:48 AM, Gail Selfridge wrote: Come on, Aaron. It only takes a second to send your tweet to the list. I am another who doesn't want to mess with Twitter and I don't want the RSS feed either. We're not all into social networking.
