Hi, Rey... First, a disclaimer... I'm not a Twitter user, so I don't "get it", as I've heard Twitter users say of no-users. :o)
That being said, I wanted to ask why another source of info, beyond the jquery.com site, the ton of individual plug-in sites, doc sites, etc, is needed. It seems that we're spreading the sources of info even thinner, rather than deeper. I was surprised to see the Twitter accounts starting up. So, I'm hoping to understand the desired benefits of using Twitter. I know you stated below that you hope to "maximize the reach of announcements about upcoming jQuery & jQuery UI updates and releases." How does Twitter do that better than the mailing list? And will the mailing list continue to be adequate for this of us who don't "Twitter"? Can you clue me in?
