With the ever-expanding communications technology market, social networking sites such as Twitter have become constantly updateable. Faculty at George Washington University are taking advantage of this by using Twitter to keep students regularly informed about updates on campus. Averaging 58 tweets a day, according to the Washington Post, GW’s faculty have propelled them into becoming the most active campus for Twitter use. Menachem Wecker, a writer/editor at GW’s external relations office, helped bring Twitter into the limelight at the university by using the site to network with his co-workers. The obsession spread and now students at the university welcome the information provided by sites such as GW Today.
