Back on Twitter…
I’ve just reregistered for twitter – username doggyb (it’s not as bad as it sounds – I just like dogs!)… I did register a while ago but didn’t really catch on to it, but a few things have prodded me to register again in the last week or so…. I met up with Paul Carruthers and Peter Kawalek at Manchester University last week to discuss a social media project and Paul mentioned his Twaffic project … Today an hour after talking with Gareth Palmer here in our department about the launch of our new MA in Social Media (which I’ll be looking after next year) he rang me to say Sarah Hartley of the Manchester Evening News had been in touch about it on the back of a twitter update… and she pointed us to the Social Media Cafe in Manchester – where of course, many people associated with it have Twitter accounts – time to rejoin…
