Buzz on this now has a Google approved home. Not that PDD isn't a crucial component of making this happen, but the more ... er ... Googlefied the process is, the better ... for obvious reasons.

After a team meeting last night, Google Twin Ports is the blogger (Google) web home of the project. Please visit it, link it, Google search it and participate in the process. This could be beyond huge for our area and PDD is one of the vehicles for its success. Hmmm ... sounds like if there was ever a need for massive cross-posting it's now!
