Citizen Wausau

The Twitter Report: Community Awareness

by Cheryl Mathis on October 6th, 2008

There are changes brewing behind the scene at Citizen Wausau. These are good, positive changes as we re-energize ourselves and rethink our focus and our outreach. One of the changes that already started is a new effort to become more visible in the social media. The first push is a dedication to Twitter. You can learn more about Twitter here. (http://twitter.zappos.com/start)

So what will a Citizen Wausau Twitter be about? It’ll be about local news and opinion. It’ll provide links to the latest blog entries and articles from people in the Wausau area and about Wausau issues. Every day, I’ll search the internet for new links for you, and I’ll periodically “tweet” those links to you.

Eventually, we’ll set up a widget or a display of what I’m twittering. For now, I’ll give you a sneak peek into the neat things I’ve found in the last couple of days.

Citizen Wausau does not condone hate speech of any kind. We urge you to elevate this conversation above the vulgar, obscene and cruel. We do not care to practice censorship, but to protect the integrity of the discussions found on this site, we will act accordingly if no other compromise can be reached.
