MSU has Twitter!
Hey everyone;

The MSU just opened twitter account for its president. I think this is a great idea and a giant leap forward for the MSU in terms of communication and transparency with students.

For those who don't know, twitter is an extremely quickly growing micro-blogging social network. It is a great way for the MSU to provide information to students on 'what they are doing' quickly and easily; all at a quick glance.

You can follow the MSU @msupres - http://twitter.com/msupres

For those who would like to learn more about twitter and how to take advantage of it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddO9idm


I'm sure we will hear about this more in the near future, but I think that this is great enough news to start a thread here.


As a side note, feel free to follow me after you sign up if you wish : @steelsjh

I thought twitter was a place that you text your secrets, and they are kept safe somewhere
