Ben. It’s nice to hear from you again. And, yes, I did understand your German.<br>
<br>
I don’t know what others will think about your Twitter idea. I personally have
an account but am not using it. Somehow I don’t get the point, what with all
those tiny snippets flying around. <br>
<br>
Let's talk about it again if people like the idea.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">On the question "do we
need it?": I'm indifferent. I don't need it.<br>
On the question "what's the point of Twitter?": One possible way to
use Twitter is to announce new threads. Look at e.g. <a href="https://twitter.com/BILDblog" target="_blank"><https://twitter.com/BILDblog></a>.
BILDblog is a media watchblog and every new blog entry is announced on Twitter.
Transferred to Lowlands-l you could announce new threads via Twitter. If e.g. I
ask for the etymology of the Low Saxon word X, you could write a Twitter entry
"Etymology of Low Saxon 'X'?" + a link to the thread. That would be
useful for people who are interested in some of the topics discussed on the
mailing list but who don't want to read all our long messages. It's kind of
providing 140-character abstracts of our threads.<br>

Thanks, Marcus.<br>
<br>
Sounds like a bunch of extra work to me.<br>
<br>
Does anyone want to volunteer? You’d have to be able to read all or most postings.<br>
