Group Twitter

This year, ASCEND has a Twitter account. For those who don't know, Twitter is a social networking website through which users share thoughts and updates in chunks of 140 characters or less. Although many use Twitter for recreational purposes, it has been used in such situations as medical procedures and in the recent events in Iran.

We are currently using GroupTweet, which allows "Tweeters" to form groups and participate collaboratively through a single account. All ASCEND students and staff are welcome and invited to join. It's pretty simple, and here are the steps:

  1. Create a Twitter account
  2. Follow the ASCEND Twitter account
  3. An account administrator will verify your status and will begin to follow your updates
  4. Send a direct message to the ASCEND account, and your post will appear on ASCEND's Twitter profile

Check out ASCEND's profile here. The idea is that we'll be able to post announcements and share our progress and activities with visitors.
