Twitter

Voscur is using Twitter as part of its communications strategy .

Twitter has evolved since 2008 on the web to become a powerful tool for campaigning, communication, connecting and generally shouting out your message to your followers and the tweeters you follow in 140 characters or less. It also supports voice and images including video.

Not everybody finds it useful, and it's only one method of Voscur communicating with the wider world, but it's quick and easy to set up an account and can be fun to use even in a working environment
