Glad to help and also happy to hear you found the tabs useful, we put it on there for exactly for the issues you point out about being swamped by information.
I agree, Andy, that it's easy to miss things! I use tweetdeck to filter out interesting things, not sure if you use that too? I created several lists depending on topics so it filters the tweets in different columns (Astrophoto, Physics and Astronomy, Friends...)
<span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.285714149475098px; line-height: 11.428571701049805px; background-color: #444444;">Google calendar is on the homepage too, but better to download to get the reminders</span>
I obviously havent been paying much attention to the Home page either, lol.
OK, I will try to get into the twitter thang...I like Andy's idea of having a twitter solely for astronomy. But I hope there is not too much fluff and nonsense added to the useful tweets...the irony is that I might become the biggest offender being the relentless rambler that I am!
