Staying connected
I have been on the lookout for a list of people using twitter to share news and views on Australian law (or in twitter terms #auslaw), mainly for the benefit of law (and legal studies) students who ask me for recommendations. You can follow people?s own curated ?twitter lists? that collate tweeters on different topics, but you need to know who to follow in order to make best use of lists. So here goes my attempt at (an incomplete) listing those twegals who like to tweet (the little bios are the tweeters? own).? I would welcome any other suggestions, and if I have left you off inadvertently, or you don?t want to be here, please let me know.
