Description: Somewhat of a spin-off from a project proposed to the Futures Council, Twitter@IU provides a searchable directory of IU-related Twitter feeds. These feeds are presented in categories to make it easier to find one of interest.
Outcome: A Twitter@IU web presence has been
established which allows viewing of IU-related Twitter feeds by
category or search. It also provides a mechanism for additional feeds
to be added to the catalog.
Like the podcast portal, this
site is designed to make it easy to find IU-related information.
Milestones and Status: The beta version of Twitter@IU
(http://twitter.iu.edu) was released on October 15, 2009. This project will
remain in beta for some time as we receive feedback from users. We also
want to measure the level of interest for this service in the
IU community.
Since the launch, 17 additional feed requests have been received.
Comment Process: Tweet to iutweet, or send email.
Benefits: IU-related Twitter feeds are easier to find, resulting in more followers, and more people aware of what's going on at IU.
