Guess you’re hoping that’s not true, otherwise SOLO could be a fizzer. Re our favourite commenter Da Wintle (no sarcasm implied), I agree on the summary point but there were many at Sci Online who were trying to do just that: wrap up 48 hours (and an extra three at the bar) in a few tweets.

I don’t hate Twitter, from a company POV it’s been a great way to get the message out in short bursts and at other times it’s like texting without having to worry about phone companies or even having the recipient’s phone number. I set up several appointments at Sci Online using Twitter alone

I would advance the counter-argument that there’s no point in trying to summarize Science Online in 140 characters. Who’s going to read it, and why?

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should state that I hate Twitter and everything to do with it, though.

wow what an exciting search string you have running there. it’s like you’ve scoured the scio10 twitter stream and picked key words. amazing what spambots can do these days. To Becca, I’m guessing a spammer hijacked your email?
