I joined Twitter this weekend and am already being "followed" by Yoko Ono. When I tried
to join Facebook this past summer to participate in the aftermath of the "Poetry of the
Seventies" Conference at the University of Maine, some not-so-apparent technical
misstep kept me from involvement and so frustrated me that I vowed not to return
without in-person assistance. The Times article doesn't convince me that I'm losing major
possibilities.
