CCCRN now on Twitter!

There is now yet another way to receive updates from CCCRN - the new twitter feed. What is it? Twitter is a free (and rapidly growing) online service that lets you keep in touch with people by “following” their twitter feed (and they can follow yours). It is based on one simple question - What are you doing? A variation of text messaging, where you can “twitter” using your web browser, cell phone or instant messaging. You can reply directly to a posting, which then gets added to the feed as a posting itself. Messages are limited to 140 words, the idea being able to get quick, brief “mobile” postings via cell phones, pdas, etc., ideal for when you are “on the go” and away from your computer.

You need to get a free Twitter account if you don’t already have one, then go to the CCCRN twitter page and click on the “follow” button to start following the feed. You can read the postings there, but you need a Twitter account in order to post replies, receive the mobile feed or start your own twitter. More information here.
