In case you weren't already aware, you can also follow all the fun and frolics of Heartland over on the "social web".
We have profiles on:
Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/groups/myheartland/
and Twitter
http://twitter.com/heartlandforum
The Twitter account automatically tweets stuff from any of the Sisters-related areas of the forum every couple of hours, along with one or two manual tweets when something interesting comes up.
The Facebook group has been around for a good while (thanks to Emily Strange) but was never promoted and largely ignored. However, I've recently give it a bit of an overhaul and have shang-highed all the HL'ers I know on FB into the group. It will be a lot less structured than Twitter.
My current thinking around it is that I will use it to sign-post people to interesting topics on here, as well as letting people know if/when HL ever goes down for any reason (cheers Iz)
You don't have to participate in either, and the HL forum will always be the centre of our pretty-but-slightly-creaky little universe, but when not discussing whether a Sisters record from 1983 is better than one from 1985, we do like to keep in touch with the modern world. Kinda.
