Are any of the rasika forum members on Twitter? It might be interesting to follow other Rasikas on Twitter.

You can catch me as hamsanandi on Twitter.

No. Twitter is a micro-blogging service (www.twitter.com)

I suppose I could utilise twitter to let the world know the timing of my mugs of chai --- which seems to be the sort of thing that people do use it for! A major question asked from time to time on the technical news sites, by the way, is how the site ever expects to make any money!

We had our own twitter thread here during the season. It hasn't been added to since --- but it could be. I'd be quite interested, for instance, to know of fellow rasika's plans to go to a concert, or reactions to a concert that don;t merit a full review etc etc etc

So yes... let's twitter, if anybody wants to: we can do it on our very own site.

As Nick said, twitter can be useful during the November-December reason. We can all 'follow' the regular concert goers like Bharath, Nick, Sathej, Rajesh, Ram et al. it is easy to post something transient to twitter from cell phones. OUtside of the season time, it will be like the facebook status updates.. Ah..may be we can share what song we are listening ;) Nick, we are getting old!!

Well, I was thinking of following the regular concert goers --- I am not so regular myself!

Nobody wants to start a thread to say "I am going to xxx yyy concert tonight" unless it is to specifically initiate a forumites meet as a sideline to the concert. A thread to which such thoughts could be appended would be nice. I think quite a few of us take a look or two at this forum every day.
