hmm,I see your point....we don't want to be known as "twits", annoying or bothersome people,...what I have to say against NOT using Twitter is that it's actually very effective

I post links, notes, pictures, event notifications on my facebook account and I really don't know how many people end up reading them since there are SOO many....however when I Post a a 140 character or less post about a halaqa going on, or a GEM from a class, I know people will take two seconds to read it....hence spreading the message


so it's not about the name of the website...it's about the function of it...most people on these boards are either volunteers or almaghrib students and we wanna get the word out about AM -- so who cares about the definition of the word "twit" it's not about that...it;s about the VALUE of the tool


just my two cents

The Prophet, upon him peace, Liked Good Names.

Hadith 814 (Imam Bukhari's Book of Musllim Morals and Manners)

... Abu Hadrad reported that the Prophet of Allah, upon him be peace, asked, "Who will lead our camels for us?" or "Who will deliver them for us?" A man said, "I will." The Prophet asked, "What is your name?" The man said, "so and so." The prophet replied, "sit down" Another one stood up, and the Prophet asked. "What is your name?" The man said, "so and so." The Prophet said, "sit down." Another stood up, and again the Prophet asked, "what is your name?" the man said, "Najiyah," The Prophet said, "you are the man for them. You lead them."

We should realize how tricky shaytan is and how the "powers that be" corrupt our lives to keep themselves in power. They got us and we don't even know it... subhanallah. May Allah help us and take the wool from our eyes.

Then, people could mass-subscribe to a certain list (a student tribe, voluneteers, projects, teachers, etc.) and everyone on it all at once.

nice idea br jawaad....but it's gonna take some work...I wonder who's willing to take it on?

btw, do you think you can start one for qabeelat noor? JAK,
