Introduction to Twitter a recommendation University of Manchester Careers Blog

Introduction to Twitter a recommendation If youre starting to wonder if all this Twitter stuff might be worth investigating, Ive just picked up a recommendation of an excellent blog post explaining it all. Its from the point of view someone more interested in keeping up with academic research and others working in their field, than celebs or blow-by-blow accounts of someones eating habits. Although its over a year old, Id still recommend reading this post from Dorothy Bishop, Professor of Developmental Neuropsychology at Oxford (Twitter account: @deevybee) before dismissing Twitter out of hand: BishopBlog: A gentle introduction to Twitter for the apprehensive academic How did I find this blog post? On Twitter, of course via @AtheneDonald (Professor of Physics at Cambridge), who I follow, who re-tweeted an update by @JennyAKoenig (Science education and communication consultant) A gentle introduction to Twitter for the apprehensive academic by Dorothy Bishop http://t.co/NX6Uq1Ob mentioned at @camawise last night Jenny Koenig (@JennyAKoenig) October 24, 2012 . UPDATE, 29/10/12: Another example from @AtheneDonald how she was invited to contribute a news article to Nature, through her Twitter interactions: 140 character witness. Twitters value in spreading the word. Fantastic: http://t.co/ysIQBHWX #scicomm #socialmedia by @AtheneDonald Malcolm M. Campbell (@m_m_campbell) October 28, 2012 All Postgraduate
