I’m a little concerned by the lack of proper naming conventions emerging here. There is potential for confusion amongst citizens as to which accounts are genuine, and the risk of cybersquatting is significant (see my blog post about this at http://www.prettysimple.co.uk/blog/?p=515).

It’s a great shame that there are not more local councils joining in with social media. However, I can foresee a day when all public bodies will have a Twitter account. Rgds Vince

Hi Adrian,
Thanks for the link and well done for taking the leap into Twitter! I’m interested to know how you guys progress in time. I will add you guys onto the list. Good call to use Hootsuite to manage your accounts. I like the idea of using Twitter accounts to engage with different interests and campaigns. Having a specific topic to talk about will certainly be more useful for followers or the public. Do you have your own personal Twitter account? If you’re not following me yet, please do @liz_azyan . Look forward to seeing you on Twitter.

Hi Liz

Yesterday North Lincolnshire Council set up a Twitter news feed @NorthLincsCNews or http://twitter.com/NorthLincsCNews

We’ve been testing it over the last few weeks linking our web RSS feeds e.g. jobs, news.

We’ve decided to use Hootsuite to manage a number of accounts – thinking that we would have one for different interests and campaigns.

Still getting to grips with it – so we’ll see how it takes off.

Thanks

Hi Liz,
Hope you’re feeling better and are basking in your futuregov win glory?

Medway Council’s now actively using twitter:
http://www.twitter.com/medway_council is the main account with all info

http://www.twitter.com/castleconcerts is our test of a campaign specific use of twitter – to see how it works if we segment our twitter audience, rather than expecting everyone that signs up to want everything

cheers

Aberdeenshire Council have just started twittering …. http://twitter.com/aberdeenshire. Started with updates from our school closures system but intend to hook it into a number of other alerts and “human” updates very soon.
