[CounterCorp] Be part of the "soft launch" of our new website!

[CounterCorp News and Events List]

Dear CounterCorp supporters,

	Hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a happy one, as well as  
some well-deserved time off from work to spend with family and  
friends! Here at CounterCorp global headquarters we have several  
exciting announcements we want to share with you now that the holiday  
is over, and before folks get caught up in the next big holiday cycle:

1)  BETA VERSION OF NEW COUNTERCORP WEBSITE -- More than two years in  
the making, the new CounterCorp website is now in the "beta" (pre- 
launch) stage and available for your viewing pleasure. It was  
conceived and developed by our original volunteer web guru, Dennis  
Williams, and then more recently updated and completed by our current  
volunteer webmaster, Nathan Frankel.

	CounterCorp's new home on the Internet features a vastly enhanced  
look and feel, and a variety of potential functionalities that we'll  
be gradually rolling out in the coming months. The beta version of the  
website is not yet "live", but it will be shortly. In the meantime,  
we're asking members of the CounterCorp community to take a look at it  
and send us your feedback.

	This could include any typos or other errors that you find, things  
that are confusing or don't look (or work) right, or any suggestions  
you have for what kinds of new features you'd like the site to have.  
We may not be able to implement every idea we get, but we want to know  
what you think of the site, and how we can change it for the better.  
You can check out the beta version of the site at http://beta.countercorp.org 
  and send any feedback you have to website at countercorp.org. We look  
forward to hearing from you!

2)  COUNTERCORP IS NOW ON TWITTER -- Since its inception in 2006, our  
CounterCorp News e-mail list has been the best way to stay updated on  
CounterCorp event and project announcements, and it will continue to  
serve that role. But we're interested to see if Twitter can serve a  
useful purpose for our supporters and community members. (For those of  
you unfamiliar with Twitter, it's a way to send very short --140  
characters or less -- announcements known as "tweets" to people via  
text, instant message, or the Web.)

	So this is also an announcement of the "soft launch" of our new  
Twitter feed, at http://www.twitter.com/countercorp. We haven't even  
announced this on the new beta site yet, because we wanted to give  
CounterCorp supporters the chance to receive our first tweets. We're  
going to use Twitter to announce breaking news, such as when the new  
website goes live, an exciting new project we're about to unveil, and  
the dates and location of next year's Anti-Corporate Film Festival.  
Try it out and tell us what you think ...

					*	*	*

	Thanks as always for your support -- we couldn't do any of this  
without you!
