For those of you on the "bleeding edge..." I have set up a Twitter profile for the UVCB on Twitter (@uvcb_org in Twitter-speak), and have linked the profile into GroupTwitter. What this means is, if you are a Twitter user you can now "follow" @uvcb_org, get instant updates and exchange instant mini-messages to the rest of the band. By linking the profile to GroupTwitter, followers can direct twitter to @uvcb_org and send tweets to other followers. A few things: 1. Those of you who are curious about Twitter (perhaps you've heard it mentioned on NPR, during NASCAR broadcasts or by your grandkids...) you can investigate it at: http://twitter.com Please Google various combinations of "twitter tutorial" for more information ;) 2. Using http://twitter.com or your favorite Twitter application, add @uvcb_org to the list you are following. At this point you will see things that are sent via @uvcb_org 3. I will then notice that you are following @uvcb_org and will add you to the list that @uvcb_org is following. At this point you can send direct tweets to *all* followers of @uvcb_org THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT purely to "play" with new modes of communication! Have a GREAT one! John PS: While this innovation makes Twittering to the rest of the band during rehearsals possible, please note that texting while playing valved instruments became illegal on 1 July in NH, AK and the District of Columbia...
