Just the same as like IRC, many think it might be dead or of yester year. Which is also used considerable for communication and work in the FOSS world. Much more so than things that are one way like tweets, blogs, etc. To build community and maintain that you want ongoing two way communication all around. Blogs are good for passing on technical or other information IMHO. Blogs will be of use for archival information purposes. Short of the ones where people just cast opinions and rant. Those can die a quick death as far as I am concerned. Blogs and opinions are like something we all have :) Tweets are good for some limited uses, though I mostly think tweeting and following all that is some what a complete waste of time. I really dislike when its used for official statements or other things limited to 150 characters. Others might disagree, but its mostly a fad IMHO. Really not sure what blogs, tweets, or things along those lines could do to help the LUG and local community, but it can be open for debate. If someone wants to get something going, thats entirely up to them to take the initiative and lead. Now let me go tweet that I just posted to the JaxLUG mailing list... -- William L.
