Why I'm Tweeting

I have been doing Facebook and Twitter for work for the past few months. I have accounts that are used to keep prospective and current students up-to-date about what's going on at the college. Yesterday I started my own Twitter account. Here's why.

• There were people that I wanted to follow that I couldn't do with my work account. @JohnPiper, @garciasn, @jgammons, @DoddsRootBeer
• Twitter is a text based way to social network. One of the things that I hate about Facebook is when I'm using it for work and I come across photos of students that I wish I hadn't seen.
• It has been good to get to know people better through their blogs. I think this will be a further way to do that.

So follow me on Twitter. @towngie
