Social media, fueled by the Internet, is gaining popularity as a quick and easy way to share information.  Partners in Policymaking California, like many other advocacy organizations, recognizes the importance of getting out information quickly.  That is why we have started a Twitter account to share news as it happens.  Twitter is an Internet based, social media that publishes short announcements from it’s users.

We will be using Twitter to keep our Twitter followers informed of important news events, advocacy opportunities and updates on the current Partners in Policymaking training.  Given the universal restriction of no more than 140 characters, our messages (tweets, as they are called) will be brief and to the point.  We will often include links to other websites where the reader can get even more information.

If you are interested in following us on Twitter,just visit us at Twitter.com/PIPCA.  If you don’t have an account, you can go to Twitter.com and sign up.  It only takes a couple minutes to get your free account.  You will also find our tweets under PIPCA Twitters right here, on our website.  Just look at the last entry in the right hand column for our latest tweet.

Help us spread that news.  Invite your friends to find us on Twitter by searching for PIPCA or give them the link above.
