Apropos of Rex’s last post, I realized I’d been delinquent in my plans to set up a Savage Minds twitter feed for people who wish to follow the blog on Twitter. It is just a bot which posts our RSS feed to twitter, but it might be useful for some of you. Here’s the link.

I’m not going to defend Twitter.

If you’re on Twitter, feel free to follow me.
