Do we really reach such people with twitter?

I think it is good, even in marketing, to be as biased as possible in
favor of solutions that are consistent with our core values. There may
be good reasons to use twitter, but I don't think I've heard any yet
that I find convincing. And even if we do choose to use twitter I sort
of would expect some promotion of alternatives more akin to us
philosophically.
