This is pretty wild, and I'd like to do a quick story on it for next week's Phoenix (deadline: end of day tomorrow, Monday).  Looking for your views on this "sound off" and on how RI is connecting on Twitter -- I know I see lots of great conversations going on all the time, and I follow only a tiny fraction of what's going on.

How big a deal is this for our community?  How good is the conversation, and what's missing?  How effective is this at connecting us, virtually and in terms of alerting people to real-world events/gatherings?  Is this helpful as a business promotional tool?  I see local media using it pretty well.  Oh and key question: Who's following this and who's not?  Do you post actively?

Want to be part of the story?  Email me at mariond820@gmail.com either with your comments, or with your number and a time I can call you.
