IU Bloomington is in the top 7 percent of collegiate Twitter users. In a September survey by UniversitiesandColleges.org, “IU ranked sixth for its number of university-affiliated Twitter accounts, fourth for the number of Twitter ollowers and eighth for total ‘tweets,’ or text-based messages sent per day.”
IU’s administration uses Twitter to post news updates and offical announcements for its sports team and various departments.
The article also mentions IU’s men’s basketball coach Tom Crean, a Twitter user with nearly 13,000 Twitter followers.
Twitter is not something I have become a memeber of, I simply don’t feel like I have time to keep up two social networking sites while still holding down a job and classwork, however I understand the appeal.
