Contacting and Twittering
One more blog maintenance note. I have added back and updated contact information that was deleted in one of our many blog redesigns during 2007. Basically, if you don't want to leave a comment, there are other ways to reach out and you can find them at the top of the green column to the right.
Of those, the newest gee-wiz gizmo is a Twitter Feed, which I would describe and an interesting syndication and social networking tool and then be roundly criticized for describing it inadequately by Twitter enthusiasts.
At any rate if you're interested or if you're already a Twitterite (Twitterfile, a Twit?) check out the News & Record Politics Feed on Twitter, which unifies the RSS feed for this blog as well as Decision 2008 and Inside Scoop.
The feed is automated and will check for updates on all three blogs about every half hour. That's not anything you couldn't do yourself with the existing RSS feeds and a good news reader, but some folks really like the Twitter format - I think because they have the option of getting it on their IM client or on their phone.
Happy New Year.
