I think Twitter is a little bit different than a planet. To me a planet is a lot more representative of the project as a whole than individual personalities. Twitter comes off as a lot more representative of the individuals own voices. I think because not everyone understands what a planet is, they assume some kind of editing (which some planets have) of membership and content, like a newsletter or something. Re: reflexive whining, I really don't give a crap about ubuntu, which is why I don't care to read about it on my planet. (ps Wouldn't it be a lot cooler if Mozilla used identi.ca rather than twitter for mozillafavs?) ~m _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
