Twitter

We have an official Twitter user @bytenight2009 which you may like follow to keep up with news and hear the results of the auction.

You might also like to add a hash so your tweet will automatically include a link to find others using #bytenight when displayed on twitter.com. The display will also pick-up photographs posted to Twitter using the twitpic, yfrog and img.ly services which include a mention of "bytenight".
