We finally started incorporating some social networking features into the site. As a previous blog post stated, we added the Share This button to our posts and pages. And just this weekend we finally incorporated our novainfosec Twitter account into the site. By following this account you’ll get tweets of new blog posts. Additionally, this works in reverse … so anything we tweet to the Twitter novainfosec account will show up as a blog post. We promise that this reverse capability isn’t going to get overloaded with what we’re eating for breakfast (for stuff like that you can follow my personal infosec Twitter account - grecs). We plan on using the novainfosec tweets for posting on-the-fly important updates when we don’t have access to a computer. We’re all sort of new to this Twitter thing so if you have any suggestions please let us know in the comments below.
