[Chapter-delegates] Internet Society on Twitter

[Greg Wood]

Thanks to quick action by Stéphan Koch of the Geneva Chapter of the  
Internet Society, we are now using the Twitter account:

http://twitter.com/internetsociety

For the moment, we'll use Twitter as another channel to distribute  
front page headlines from www.isoc.org.  However, we'll also be  
looking at other opportunities to leverage this communications channel.

Feel free to "follow" from your own Twitter account and to share it  
with anyone else who might be interested.

For those who may not be familiar with Twitter, it's sort of a cross  
between micro-blogging, instant messaging, and group chat with access  
through the web, from mobile phones, IM clients, and even dedicated  
3rd party programs. Much more info at:

Of special interest to communications, Twitter usage is growing quite  
quickly. For example, see

Comments, suggestions and questions always welcome.

Regards,
-Greg
