Tweeting at the Yam Suf and Beyond......

I was little skeptical about twitter and the microblogging world. What info can one short phrase offer?
Before this past shabbat I searched shabbat shira on twitter and in addition to all the birds tweeting accompanying the Jews, it was chockful of ideas, customs and links about shabbat shira.
for example : Did you know that it's a thing to eat Kasha on Shabbas Shira? I didn't know that, either! Here's a yummy recipe http://wp.me/p1BlTg-6N

I just searched tu b'shvat and there is so much fruit for thought. like- Go Green! Tu B'shvat, the new year of the trees, is Wed. Plant a tree in Israel.... http://fb.me/yUsAKfJn

I will keep following and you never known maybe a leader some day too.
