Welcome to the TWiST Backchannel for Aug. 27-Sept. 2

While TWiST took a dog-days-of-summer hiatus this week, the backchannel sure didn't! We had some lively debates on the email list--talkin' about you, Jig, Yelp and Facebook--and, as always, were happy to welcome some new members to the fold.

If you're tired of hearing about all of the goodness going on in the Backchannel, then there's just one solution--join and we'll stop talking about it! (Ok, no, not really. This isn't a NPR pledge drive. But the Backchannel really is a killer group and you should get in on it.)

This week, we were happy to welcome the following new members:

Supporter Paul Secor

Fan Chris Weitzel

Broke-Ass Fan Severan Johnson
Broke-Ass Fan Abhishek Pillai
