[Chapter-delegates] facebook application?

[Greg Wood]

Hello all,

A quick note--the Internet Society Twitter feed is at:

http;//www.twitter.com/internetsociety

We're very much looking at how we might develop this, so feel free  
both to "follow" our feed and to send suggestions about how we might  
leverage this particular service.

Thanks very much for the discussion so far--I look forward to it  
continuing.

Regards,
-Greg
