Lowlanders,
Here's an interesting article that I discovered through a trending topic
on Twitter:
http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/2009/10/02/on-facebook-nobody-knows-youre-a-dead-language/
There's hope for us all!
Anybody else finding Twitter an immensely useful resource? For a while I
couldn't see the point, then I started reading the help pages and have
learned and immense amount about stuff I'm interested in that I wouldn't
know how to find on Google. Now I'm starting to use it to signal my
discoveries to other interested parties! It makes a refreshing break
from just searching for information about things you already know exist!
