Using FF 3.0.11-0.1.1 , my extent with Twitter was a brief one of maybe 4
days , saw no usefulness and have never been back .
Have a Facebook account that I just signed up on , and just to follow a
Archosaur dig in Arlington .
Some Trilo people I follow uses Yahoo , and it seems to fit the Trilobite
enthusiast crowd well .
