Some may have already noticed the Twitter sidebar in the News, New Books, Writings, Events and Short story pages of our website. When we started these pages, there was just about enough material for fortnightly updates. There is a lot more now, especially books, new Malaysian books.We used to be hard pressed to find one new Malaysian book every two weeks to feature. Now we receive so many every week, we have difficulty choosing. Hence, the SilverfishNews Tweets. We will still continue to feature one favourite Malaysian book of the fortnight, but our tweets will list the rest that are worthy of note. And since we already have the sidebar for the Tweets we will also list other interesting stories we come across that you might wish to check out (including some of not exactly literary nature).
But our bias will be towards things regarding reading, writing and publishing. You choose to follow 'SilverfishNews' on Twitter for which you need an account, or you may merely follow it on our website without one. (But, I think you need to be a twitterati to post replies -- I am not sure of that, maybe someone can clarify).
And, speaking of replies, please use the direct mode. Responses will not be automatically displayed on the website but we will be able to read it on our desktop client before posting them -- we are using Twirl, but there are many out there -- because, like we said before, this is a literary website and we would like to keep it that way. Mostly. Anyway, we believe most readers will not be interested in who had what for breakfast. Friends might, not others. You may also communicate with us by email. Send us interesting things you read or see and we will Tweet it, with or without your name. You decide.
