The Tweeting Phoenix

For science afficinados who are interested in following the absolute latest news on NASA's Mars Explorer, Phoenix, there is now a new way. Thanks to the Internet (and possibly some astronomy grad students over at Arizona University who had too much spare time), the NASA team is sending out news snippets directly to interested parties via twitter.com.

You can catch the Phoenix's transmissions at http://twitter.com/MarsPhoenix. You can even send messages to it and a few lucky fellas actually get replies from the machine!

I must really give kudos to NASA for really adopting the web as a means of communicating with the public.
