New Securities Lending Twibe

In my on-going effort to try out every new form of media, I have created a "twibe". 

What is a twibe?
A twibe is a group of Twitter users interested in a common topic who would like to be able to communicate with each other.  It's a really easy way to create a central place for news and comments that all relate to the securities lending business - be it securities lending directly, hedge funds, prime brokerage, short selling ... you get the idea. 

How do I join?
If you are a member of twitter, all you need to do is tweet the URL: http://twibes.com/securitieslending and you will become a member.

How do I tweet to the twibe?
If your tweet is something that you think will be of interest to the securities lending community, then just add the acronym "sbl" somewhere in your tweet and it will be picked up automatically.  The twitter search rules mean that it wont necessarily show up immediately, but should be there within 24 hours - although in my experience, it has been only a matter of minutes.

The Bottom Line?
Over time, this should develop into a central repository for interesting news and updates that is available to everyone.   So please join and contribute interesting stuff!  And as always, pass this on to others - the more, the merrier, and more useful.

P.S.
Later this weekend I will be posting the results of the Conferences Survey I put up last week.
