Following Wisconsin Right to Life
on Twitter

 

 

What is Twitter?
The Twitter phenomenon is connecting people everywhere in both professional and personal circles.

The basic premise of Twitter is that users can "tweet" short updates of less than 140 characters that answer the question "what are you doing?" These updates are then compiled on the profile of other users that decide to follow your updates and you'll see their updates as well should you choose to follow them. You can send tweets from your Twitter account either from a computer or any phone that allows the texting function. Get started on Twitter by creating your own account at: http://www.twitter.com
