Today we opened an account on Twitter. You can follow us at @wmfhlp.

The crowd-funding thing is interesting. It seems to me like a slam-dunk that 15,000 people out of 300 million would be willing to drop $1 on our project, or almost any given project for that matter.

So the issue comes down to marketing – getting your project in front of the most people and find those folks out there with a spare dollar and enough gumption to click on “contribute now”. Or so it seems.

Our Twitter account will, we hope, add substantially to the number of people who could see our appeal.

We are having a bit of trouble getting Twitter and Facebook to talk to each other. But we will eventually get that worked out. That part is really a convenience for us since it means one entry in Twitter is echoed in Facebook.

The whole new-media thing is exciting, interesting, and sometimes frustrating!
