#followfriday
If the title of this post looks funny to you, we might have already lost you. But for the rest of you tweeters, twitterers, twits, or twitterians – you get us and this is for you. And for the rest of you, forget about what your mother said about jumping off that cliff – in fact… tweet about jumping. There’s an abundance of information at your fingertips, most of it garbage, some of it gold – so if you have to wade though some junk to get to the good stuff – why not subject yourself to only 140 characters of crap, or better yet, follow this DTE Twitter guide and you’ll be reading what we’re reading. Hell, you could even start your own environment issues blog and beat us to the story…. Seriously though, don’t do that…errrr… us and our big mouths.
