Hi Johan. This is a great initiative. It will only work if you keep at it. Most of the people in Simon's Town is pre the internet. Many of them can barely use email. As you may know; very few venture out on the internet.
You know, there was I time when they thought SMS was for kids now they all use it. It will take time to break down these barriers. But I will follow the ideas. I will now go to the Simon's Town Room at this address http://friendfeed.com/rooms/simonstown and I will create an account, set my account to receive a daily email. I will also go and download the application to easily read the room and write to the room using http://www.twhirl.com
johan horak Hi John Thanks for the comment. It will be slow ;-( Just a note the best way to read the room is as you say, to use a desktop application. Because it will notify you with a bep when there's new news. The website to download the application is http://www.twhirl.org (not dot com) Hope to hear from you soon. Johan
