[Taxacom] Twitter Fwd: Nature needs names: 60 new dragonflies from Africa

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

Yes, bc we are already so popular. I understand the irksome factor in
self-promotion but considering that, Costello's papers aside, we have a
recruitment issue, maybe we should dance around every so often. BBC
coverage is a good example. Every time some insect crosses the Channel they
report it like it is breaking news. Is it scientifically important? Not
really, but it makes it more exciting.

As a final note, not all species are "created" equal. Sixty dragonflies, to
a layman, is more significant than sixty midges. The midge specialist (and
Stephen) may disagree but that is reality. People are naturally biased.
Exploit it.
