Guide to Twitter for academics

Recently a number of colleagues have asked whether there is a guide to Twitter aimed at academics who have never previously tweeted. Fortunately there is – an excellent introduction, produced by Amy Mollett, Danielle Moran and Patrick Dunleavy of the LSE Public Policy Group, and made available under a Creative Commons licence.

Using Twitter in University Research, Teaching and Impact Activities

This is full of sound, practical advice and is the best guide I’ve seen.
