>Why twitter is cool and useful.
To have a look at what kind of information we spread there: www.twitter.com/aegee_europe
At this point, 109 people are ‘following’ us. We send out “mini-press releases” about our events and projects. The amount of followers grows daily, especially after an update.
Some interesting ones amongst them:
YSAFE Network (Youth Sexual Awareness For Europe)
OptiFly
Sheffield University
27etMoi (= media, special of Arte for the EP elections)
Boston University
European Movement International
Guntor Gloser (German ‘Staatsminister fur Europa’)
Keiser University
Eoin Ryan (Member of European Parliament)
ALDE Group in the European Parliament (European Liberals)
Imperial College London
Journalism.co.uk
Teesside University
University for Peace
Juan Behrend (Secretary general of the European Greens)
Bahadir Kaleagasi (Turkish Chamber of Commerce, one of our sponsors and if I’m correct patron of AEGEE-Ankara)
EU09.TwitLife.com
Council of Europe
European Radio Network
Cafe Babel
Institute of Contemporary European Studies [iCES] European Business School London
And quite some more.
I think it provides cool new methods for a big youth organisation such as ours to be out there and easily and quickly inform a wide range interested people, stakeholders and (potential) partners on a diverse amount of events and projects we run.
So don’t be shy for modern tools and twit along ;-)
