I’m Twittering Now
I joined Twitter last week and I am still experimenting to see how useful it is. I was spurred to join by an article regarding the use of Twitter in Academia on academhack. I am excited by the aspect of using this as a tool for either academia or for linking constituents back to a cause or institution. I hope to explore using Twitter this fall when I teach a course at Bluffton University and I’d like to find a method of using Twitter to connect with donors. Connecting with donors may be trickier but my initial thought is that a donor or supporter can follow an organization on Twitter without divulging their personal information and get the information how they want it using Twitter preferences.
Feel free to follow me on Twitter or look for updates on the left sidebar and be assured I will share my thoughts on using Twitter at a non profit here in the event of any breakthroughs.
