A few of you may have noticed that I signed up for Twitter a few days ago. The main reason I did that was to test out the service to see if it would be helpful for a friend of ours, Tonya Small, that is living in South Africa working at a school for kids who have been orphaned because their parents died of AIDS.

Tonya can send text messages on her mobile phone a lot easier than to get access to a computer. She has a laptop but only a dial up Internet connection. So twitter takes her text messages and updates all of her followers. Additionally, her tweets show up in Facebook and on her own website automatically.

So if you want the latest updates from Bethesda in South Africa start following Tonya on Twitter or just head on over to her blog.
