Hi all
We're using Twitter to post IT tips every week onto our web site. For
this, it doesn't take a lot of time at all to manage and it's easy to
maintain. It has it's own 'widget' for feeding the tips to the web site
so the coding is minimal (I'm told!).
I think it really suits this type of activity but haven't used it for
anything else.
Regards
Stevie
