@Keredy Andrews Ah.. so they are all the same But makes me wonder though – why be on Twitter if they are not open to talking to new people.

@janwong I wouldn’t say all it takes is a ‘hi there’ on Twitter but it’s part of your communications tool box. I’ve spoken to some very lovely ones in my time but also some extremely rude ones!!!

@Keredy Andrews In my media relations course we did spend a good amount of time on social media. Northeastern University professors do a great of integrating offline and online communication strategies into their curriculums. My specialization is also in Social Media and Online Communities so I will be taking five courses that solely focus on social media and digital technologies.
