Tweeting


You can see from the sidebar that I've been using Twitter a little more. We are starting to get a little bit of a following and I have been a little more conversational in our tweets - I've still tried to keep them semi-official though. I am conscious that the tweets are from the Group and as such can't be too casual.

During Disaster Awareness Week we tweeted our location and closing time. We also tweeted during the tsunami responses and had some members of the team watching Twitterfall on one of the ECC monitors (although not constantly).

Now that I have been upgraded to an iPhone, I can tweet without the need to log on to a computer so it is a lot easier than it was previously.

Remember if your tweeting about civil defence, include the hashtag #nzcd in your message.

I think its great your using Twitter and agree that its a good idea not to be casual.
Do you see the Twitter to SMS offered by Telecom and Vodafone here as an alternative to any paid SMS subscription offerings?
Can I suggest you setup automatic updates to Twitter every time you create a new blog article, it would then tie this information your putting out there together in some fashon (maybe you will be doing it with wave bots soon anyway).
