Hi Michael,

I was just thinking about the Twitter List function when the idea of creating an FBEA one came to me. If you have a list of the e-mails of the attendees of the conference, you could could do a search to see which ones have Twitter accounts, and then add them to this list. We were talking about different ways to keep in touch, up to date, and although this would probably only affect the minority of members it would be something and could prove more valuable as this movement grows.

I was at the conference on Saturday, which was phenomenal by the way. Also, I do a bit of web design and I might be able to work with you guys at some point if you need it. And this online network tool looks great so far.

Hi, thanks for the message...I've never used a posting like this, hope I'm doing it right. Great for you to set this up for the FBEA, it could be a really nice networking tool, thanks again, all the best, Patrick.
