Why is VSP on Twitter? Can I follow VSP’s tweets? This blog will answer these and other questions, in fewer than 140 characters. Read on.

Why Twitter?

Twitter, just one of many social media channels we use, provides searchable, public, visible access to relevant conversations.

Twitter’s 140-character limit means we have to get to the point. We write with accuracy, brevity, and clarity. We use meaningful words.

Tweets can include shortened URLs. A 50-character link like http://vspblog.com/2009/06/19/new-vsp-group-blog/ becomes http://bit.ly/12151Q
