Oh, yeah, I know that. Sorry. What I was trying to say was that we

neglect microblogging because I think it could be a very good PR resource
for us. Sorry if I was unclear....

The lack of microblogging was more down to the technical difficulties
we were having trying to find an alternative to HootSuite's
collaboration services, I think. I'm liking the idea of using a Drupal
module with FAS integration - How long will it take to get something
like that in place?
This lack of a collaboration feature is certainly a niche in the market ...
Thanks,
