Microblogging and Twitter

Micro-blogging, such as Twitter, means to send immediate, short, time-sensitive updates to subscribers via their cell phone or a particular online platform (email, instant messaging, etc.). The characters are 140 characters or less.

Some suggestions for your micro-blog subscription(s):

• CDC's Twitter account
• National Rural Health Association
• The Policy Journal of the Health Sphere
• Mecklenburg County (North Carolina) Health Department's Twitter account
• Center for Rural Affairs, Lyons, Nebraska
• Rural Tech, re: technology with the WI Office of Rural Health
• Center for Rural Health, North Dakota
• Rural Assistance Center, North Dakota
• World Health Organization's Twitter account
• UNIFEM's Twitter account

I suggest you subscribe via cell phone, rather than just the web, to two of these, so you can get the full "tweet" experience.
