I wonder what will happen if/when the genealogists start using
Twitter en masse? I can just see it, I sent a Tweet with a
headstone transcription and a TwitPic of the actual stone, plus GPS
coordinates, then how does my cousin cite it?

p.s. I have no idea what I am talking about as I do not use Twitter -
just hearsay
