Networking...
In addition to our more interactive tools
we've also created a few options for you to network with us if that's
your particular scene.
We originally focussed upon three "social networking" sites, MySpace,
SiteSpaces, and NewsVine, but we've since added other networking facilities
(as you'll see from the list below) and of course we've included the
hugely popular photo-sharing site Flickr. (In fact, many of our own
photos are available to share or link to at our Flickr page!)
If you too have profiles at any of these sites why not pay us a visit
and join our growing list of friends/contacts?
Our eGroup, hosted by Yahoo!, shares the same name (TawNews) as our
on-site interactive section.
Originally intended as an announcement list for updates to Tilting
at Windmills, plus news and opinion on global, political, social and
environmental issues with particular emphasis on promoting alternative
news sources, its actual usage evolved into a sort of caché
for articles from around the web that might otherwise have a transitory
existence or for copyright reasons could not be reproduced elsewhere.
Btw, "TAW" = "Tilting at Windmills"!

Taw Truthers or the "Truthers Contact List" is our very own networking
service specifically for UK-based "9/11 Truth" campaigners and is
a joint project of Tilting
at Windmills and Ricky.
Originally discussed on the SiteSpaces social networking site it was
agreed to try to set up some sort of central list for "9/11 Truthers"
resident in the UK so that those in proximity could contact each other
to co-ordinate/organise joint efforts to "spread the word" etc.
Thus all 9/11 Truthers in the UK are invited to join the list. All
that's needed is your name (or nickname if you prefer), an email address,
and your county of residence, county being the principal listing criterion.
There's also an option to enter a website URL (so if you have a MySpace
or SiteSpaces page you can use that as your contact point).
With this information other Truthers can easily locate contacts in the same or adjoining counties.
And if your contact details should change after you've added yourself to the list you can easily amend them using our dedicated update form.
So if you're a "Truther" living in the UK, join now!
9/11 specific...
For those of our readers who have a particular interest in the
events of 9/11 we have a dedicated page at MySpace ("Connecting
the Dots") focussing on rational examinations of the evidence
and testimonies relating to the attack on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, devoid of the more extreme "explanations" touted
by some "conspiracy theorists".
You can find it at:
www.myspace.com/connectuk
Despite all our reservations about social networking sites in general
and MySpace in particular we've bitten the bullet and created our
own MySpace page!
So if you've got a MySpace page visit us there and add us to
your Friends.
You'll find us at:
www.myspace.com/tawnews.
(Just be cautious about the links you click on some other folks' pages
there!)

Another social networking site, similar to MySpace but with a somewhat
smaller user-base. Our page here was originally intended as an alternative
or backup for our MySpace page as some users were concerned about
the security and freedom of expression there.
However, for whatever reason the facilities at MySpace (since the
company's purchase by Rupert Murdoch) have become increasingly problematic
to use and consequently we've begun to elevate SiteSpaces as our principal
networking tool, despite its smaller user-base.
Our page is here.
