spend their days sharing such dribble as what they ate for lunch and the books currently sitting on theirnightstand.
I used to be as skeptical as you, but I changed my opinion of Twitter after I set upmy own Twitter account as CollegeBlogs.
A tweet can only contain 140 characters, but it's amazing what I learn byperiodically checking my tweets. That's especially true since tweets can containlinks to elsewhere on the Internet.
I am currently following 84 people, who are mostly connected with the higher-edworld, and 256 people are following me. If you want to learn more about studentloans, scholarships, financial aid, college admissions and much more, I'd suggestyou discover the college experts on Twitter.
Here are 20 of my favorite college Twitterers:1. EducationSector. Higher-ed think tank that challenges conventional
thinking.2. Chronicle. The Chronicle of Higher Education, the higher-ed industry's
trade publication.
