Why would we want that? Has flying an Europa became a religion and do
we need to spread the word and try to draw more soals into it?
I don't care whether our current fleet would be expanded or remains
stable. No need for growth here. In fact, I think that many of us
wanted to build an Europa to do something special, not because one
felt the urge to follow the herd.
And to me it looks like facebook and twitter are mainly herd things. I
always get the feeling that it is sort of a compensation for people
who are not able to live an interesting live themselves. Making a
picture of their dinner and letting the world know that they are going
to eat it. That kind of stuf.

Oh and BTW, all of us were apparently able to find this little
community without the "help" of facebook or twitter. We don't need it
for that. In fact, I would suggest that anyone who is unable to find
this without the help of facebook or twitter doesn't deserve it. ;-)

And that is a good reason against it. I want to share my information
with people I know, and not share it with thousands of friends of
friends of friends... If I wanted to broadcast everything to the
entire world I would easily find opportunities to do so, still without
the help of facebook or twitter.
