Little old lady from Pasadena got nothin on you

Sure, using the PC would be simpler—for people who know how to operate one. Not a bad idea at all.

[PoisonPuFFiPie]

What a waste of paper.

[malcommerriweather]

Sounds more complicated and time consuming than just using the PC.

@neilgrabowsky Hi Neil thanks for the explanation of how Celery works. How would you say the product could be sustained or improved in the long term, given that computing power will become steadily more energy efficient over time and also given that many users now tweet from iPhones or the like?

@timothymalone That would suck! every Google search would take like 20 pages of paper for me :O

There has to be a more challenging way to upload to Twitter.

Celery is more environmentally friendly than you may realize at first:

- Celery Fax machines use 1/16th the power of a desktop computer.

- Celery Users on average use just half a ream of paper per year (250 pages).

- When Tweeting, users reuse pages by folding down the top few inches.

I encourage you to visit our website to learn more about just how green Celery really is.

Thanks,
