We are a charity website still in development and you could really help by telling us what you think of the site. Once you have had a chance to see the site, would you take part in a very short, confidential survey? You just have to click Launch Survey (it will open in a new window). Thank you very much.
Launch the survey No thanks
More and more people / organisations seem to be on Twitter (including us at KnowHowNonProf) but is it just another shiny thing or a great tool that you can really use to communicate your message?
There are the obvious cons (updating and following others can eat your time, getting your head round the etiquette, format and add-ons takes a while) but there are pros too (its easy to keep up-to-date with what other like-minded people / organisations are doing, you can instantly tell all your followers your news).
Here are some useful Twitter links:

More about nonprofits using Twitter and Facebook in an article in The Times yesterday.
Tips for brands starting out on Twitter - great tips from econsultancy.
What advice would you add to this?
There are a lot of resources and guides out there, but a few I have enjoyed are:
I'm keeping a list of local support provider organisations that are using Twitter, for example local CVS' or Voluntary Action type organisations.
The list is on the navcaboodle website (login required) - http://www.navcaboodle.org.uk/profiles/blogs/navca-members-using-twitter, the page also has other links to Twitter guides and a presentation.
If you already use Twitter i've grouped these organisations in a 'Twitter List' so you can see what they are saying in a single place. The link is http://twitter.com/#/list/watfordgap/localsupportorgs
Hope these help
