I’ve just hooked up the LaceNews blog with a Twitter account, @lacenews. You can see the last 20 postings to Twitter at the bottom of the righthand column on the blog homepage.  You can also click on the ‘follow’ button at the end of the Twitter section to formally connect to @lacenews at the twitter.com website. That way you can get the full history of tweets.
This will allow me to send short, fast messages about LaceNews status, new blog posts and other events in a more informal manner.
Now I suppose I’ll have to think about a Facebook page… One step at a time.
