You are not alone Rich, I too haven't been "Zuckered into" social media much either! Perhaps we should set up "Antifacebook" or "Arsebook"?

 ZooBank
 already has an RSS feed; would a separate Twitter feed be
 useful?  How best to use the 140 characters?  A core
 ZooBank URL is minimally 55 characters ("http://zoobank.org/" + 36
 characters for the UUID -- though we could strip the dashes
 and make it 51 characters total).  How best to use the
 remaining characters?
 
 Please bear in mind that I only vaguely
 understand what Twitter is.... (I develop sophisticated
 databases, and cutting-edge diving technology; but I'm a
 total luddite when it comes to social media).
 
 Aloha,
 Rich
