Did you know that Florida Citizens for Science is on Twitter<\/a>? It took a while, but we’re now up to more than 230 followers and growing. If you have a Twitter account, please consider following. I post a lot of interesting updates with links that either take me a while to post to this blog, or don’t make it to the blog at all. If you don’t have a Twitter account, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s an interesting and useful tool for learning about new things, finding out about events as they happen, and getting word about your own stuff out there. Despite what you may have heard, if you network with the right people you won’t be swamped with useless “what I had for lunch” updates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For many of my updates I use a nice app I recently installed on my phone: twikini<\/a>. I like things that are functional and simple rather than full of bells and whistles, half of which I have no use for. Twikini fits the bill nicely. I’ve installed other apps on my Windows mobile phone, but they either weren’t entirely compatable or were just too complex for my tastes. So, if you have a mobile gadget and want to try Twitter on the go, give twikini a test drive. (In case you are wondering, I’m writing this post to earn my free registration<\/a>. However, everything I’ve written is my honest opinion.)<\/p>\n
