Editor's letter,The web is all a twitter about twitter (groan), the hottest and fastest growing social network. Remember how excited everyone was when facebook first opened up to the general public, and how it was a constant topic of conversation? Well, now it's twitter. I wrote a quick guide to getting started with twitter on the amuta 2.0 website, which you can read here. The post is geared towards non-profits, but the general rules apply to anyone on twitter. And you can follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/miriamschwab and stay tuned to my pearls of wisdom. In other news, Google is moving everyone's FeedBurner feeds. Many of you may use FeedBurner to track RSS feed subscribers to your blog. If so, you must move your feed before February 28th, or you will turn into a pumpkin. Don't worry, it's really easy to do, and we've put detailed instructions below, so read on. Other news covered below is a new website/blog/social media presence that we recently launched for Natan Sharansky, and are very excited about, as well as a new Israeli Hi-tech and Business Events Calendar that we've published on our site in order to help all of us keep up with the zillions of events. Now we just need to pray for rain. Thanks as always for reading! Yours, Miriam Schwab P.S.
