PAUL HAS SET UP A TWITTER ACCOUNT, AND SHARED THIS WITH THE GROUP,
GO TO WWW.TWITTER.COM, AND CREATE AN ACCOUNT,
YOU NEED A USER NAME, THIS CAN BE YOUR NAME OR SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY,
AND CREATE A PASSWORD,
PAUL DID THIS ON THE TWITTER APP, DOWNLOADED FROM THE APP STORE,
AND ITS VERY ACCESSIBLE TO VIP'S.
PAUL SELECTED FIGHTING BLINDNESS TO FOLLOW,
AND LEARNED MUCH FROM TWEETS FROM THE RETINA CONFERENCE IN HONALULU
EACH ACCOUNT HAS THE AT SYMBOL BEFORE THEIR USER NAME,
THIS COMES ON WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THE USER,
THIS IS CALLED YOUR HANDLE,
ONE CAN CHOOSE TO FOLLOW A NEWSPAPER, A CHARITY A FRIEND OR WHATEVER,
YOU CAN SEND MESSAGES TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW PRIVATELY,
BUT YOUR TWEETS ARE PUBLIC,
PAUL WAS EXCITED WITH THE APP, AND URGED THOSE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN VISION
