the familiar, yet always inspiring ADAPT logo!
Of course, for strategic reasons I can’t give too many details, but MI ADAPT is planning a significant non-violent direct action for early this week. I thought others, both across MI and in other states, who cannot be with us physically, may be interested in sharing the energy and collective power that is ADAPT.
So, to get us at least part of the way there, I set up a Twitter.com account for MI ADAPT. Twitter is an internet service that allows groups of people to communicate via status updates made by cell phone text message. I plan to be twitting a full account of the MI ADAPT action, updating our “status” as events unfold.
To follow along, simply set up an account at http://twitter.com/ and then begin following http://twitter.com/MIADAPT. You can follow from your PC or you can set up a modile device (cell phone, blackberry, etc) to receive twits.
To be sure, a full account will be sent out to the ADAPT listserves afterwards and I am sure I will offer personal reflection on the day’s events on this blog, but Twitter will allow for real time updates and, hopefully, a stronger feeling of solidarity. Also, we may call on your help through twitter messages.

Best of luck, dude! Any chance of setting up your Facebook status to copy your Twitter status for us folks who are too overwhelmed to sign up for Twitter?

Mike, I’ll try to figure out how to do that. FBook wasn’t my first choice because I think a lot of people I don’t know will want to follow this series of events and it will involve a LOT of status updates… maybe 20 or 30 in a 8 hr period! But yes, as a second option, this is a good idea I will look into.
