Where, How, and Why Harvard University Uses Twitter (Panel Discussion and Demonstration)

For our inaugural meeting, we will be hosting a panel discussion and demonstration on Twitter. We will give a brief overview of Twitter (if necessary), and then discuss and demonstrate where and how it is being used – and whether/why it is an effective tool – across the University; there are currently – at minimum – 50 Harvard-based Twitter profiles, with 102,000+ combined followers. Throughout the discussion, panelists will talk on specific business cases for using Twitter, and its implications, including security, logistics, policy, and best practices.
