As usual the Friend covered Britain Yearly Meeting with a team of dedicated reporters, made up of staff, trustees and readers. Eye was intrigued to discover that the Friend had a new way of following events, by 'twittering'.
Twitter is a way of sending short messages of up to 140 characters online, like sending text messages. Indeed, some twits use text from their mobile phones to update their conversations.
Jez Smith led the twittering on our website and via twitter.com/quakers including summaries of some of the sessions and reaction to the Swarthmore lecture 'Minding the Future', by Christine Davis.
Eye learned that Jez was not the only twit at BYM. twitter.com/foxc, twitter.com/star_one and twitter.com/igwarrender also gave their perspectives. Eye wonders whether anyone else was involved...
