Why on earth do you want to require people to use Twitter when we've already joined Channel 9 and you have this setup already?

Thanks everyone for the feedback, this is our first test so we'll evolve this over time

@jlomax - To your specific question, we used Twitter because it's easy to see a stream of questions come in (instead of reloading a forum page), there are lots of developers on Twitter, and it's a lot faster to take questions via Twitter instead of building out a Channel 9 live chat feature.

I think using the twitter account to take questions is a great idea. I have shifted to using Twitter versus forums for my own business because of that.

Brian Beckman on covariance, contravariance, and black holes? That's going to blow my mind.
