DeleteI'm sorry I'm so confused about how to sign up. How will you know I've joined if I just put iton Twitter?
ReplyDeleteLook at my entry (#416). You'll see how we know. The sign up is a declaration of participation. i.e., "I'm going to participate in #boutofbooks!" It also helps us to spread the word about the readathon.
