No spam: We don’t ‘spam’ Twitter users with many duplicate or irrelevant messages, as some people have started to do. We send ‘tweets’ only when there is a genuine new article on our web site.

Direct Messages – DM’s: we regret that we’re unable to respond to Twitter direct messages. Not only the time involved but the limitation of trying to answer technical questions in 140 characters . Please use our Feedback page if you want to send us a message.

At present we use a service to convert our articles into Twitter postings – Twitterfeed.com
