We have another new goodie to roll out today, as Frans has cooked up a Twitter feed to allow you to follow stories posted here through the service. The feed will link to stories as they are posted here with the exception of a few of the bulleted roundups like tech bits and such. We hope you find this helpful, and are looking forward to the day when we have more followers than Ashton Kutcher.

Zerobytes, most of your questions can be answered on Wikipedia, but here's the short answers: What the hell are they doing in space with all this money, flushing it down the $19 million space toilet? No Seriously, when was the last time you heard about some big breakthrough from research done in space? Depends what you read. It seems you don't read anything vaguely scientific. What do they do on the ISS all year round? Experiments. The whole thing is an experiment. And then there's this new space shuttle they're working on--is it just me or isn't that just another Apollo craft? It's just you.
