Hi guys,

I've ben running a twitter feed for R@H. Here's the original thread from where I started the feed.

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=4850

and here is the account http://twitter.com/Rosetta_at_Home

Obviously, it hasn't led to a boost in users by the millions, but I'm hoping that at least some of you are less convinced that twitter is just a passing fad by now. It is a good way for getting exposure, some other boinc projects have followers in the thousands (and some posts reach thousands more through re-tweeting) so if done right it can definately be worth the effort.

I don't frequent the forum much any more, only check on it intermittently, so I'm hoping other people will help me keep the feed up to date, more than just re-posting the baker journal posts. If it's a colaborative effort, it wont take much work at all. pm me if you're interested, and i'll give you the password.

Am I missing something, or did you just repost my links? I'm confused...

EDIT: right, i didn't notice they weren't proper links because i have an ad-on that turns all urls into links. sorry.

Hello,

I am a total newb to BOINC and the projects, but this is one of the ones I chose as it seemed very worthwhile and I have little to offer in the way of my computer(other than dual processors), but wanted to put a bit of it to good use and I like this. Of course it started with an interest in SETI and when I found all these other projects too, well I'm glad I am here and if I should have introduced myself someplace else, and I look like a total goof right now, what else is new? Please forgive me. I tend to be impulsive. lol! Anyway, thrilled to be here and I hope soon to be a pro at this stuff and be the one to save the world and the universe(s?).

If anyone has any advice as far as how I really ought to act around here, please let me know:-) Advice on other good projects that really need help would be useful too. Thanks so much!

Regards to all,
Choctaw Lass
