It's Twitter time!

I signed up to twitter about a year ago, when facebook was taking off. But I must be honest, it didn't seem to be all that exciting - perhaps because very few people I knew were using it around that time.

And now? Well, it seems to be creeping into the mainstream as people desire more immediate information sent straight to their computer screens/mobile phones. A confirmation of the fact that we are becoming even more impatient and are forever changing the way in which we'd like to receive information!

So, yes, I signed in again recently and I shall be trialling this quaint little site, to see where it leads.

Another aspect of my job at Solent Students' Union is to act as the Press Officer, responding to stories, or arranging coverage of our main events or campaigns that involve Solent University students.
