Twitter - Useful for our advocacy - YES/NO

3-18-2009 National:

Not wanting to miss out on a possible useful new service, can anyone think of how we could EFFECTIVELY use Twitter in our advocacy?

Post comment or send me a e-mail with thoughts...

Here is how others in the legal field are using it:

Law School and Law Library Twitter Feeds
"Rex Gradeless" at Social Media Law Student has identified some law schools and academic law libraries that are using Twitter feeds to communicate with students. Mr. Gradeless reports that the feeds are used to inform students about snow delays, on campus events, website updates, and student accomplishments. Law professors are even jumping on adding announcements to these Twitter pages. Good idea.

Here's the list of Twitter feeds.
