We do indeed have a twitter now. I run it. Rachel designed the current background image (which I love) and Dazza also has the same exact posting power I do.
I run a few twitters for businesses and use my own personal account to advertise my workplace, friends workplaces, etc. I offered to run it for the site after the hack as a "just in case" source of news updates. It also allows some fans who, say, don't have accounts here or post on the site to get their say in. Surprisingly, it's also been a good opportunity to promote FINCA.
Some people find twitter silly. I understand that. I was very late in the game on joining because I didn't really get it. But now that I have a handle on it, it's a good way to spread the word on the site and keep fans who maybe can't check np.com at work to simply log onto twitter (which is often unblocked in offices due to marketing).
There's a good community out there and a lot of foreign visitors. We're past 130 followers. You can find us on @natpdotcom. All posts for now are either me or Dazza. Wouldn't look good without Rachel's help.
