Since “social media douchebag” is one of the many professional hats I wear, I was particularly interested to see that George Washington University has been ranked the top most active university on Twitter. More interesting, though, was that they attained that distinction by using Twitter to post interesting content, rather than just hooking up an RSS feed to a Twitter account and never thinking about it again. Which pleases me, because I’m pretty astonished that anyone thinks a Twitter account full of university press releases could actually be interesting.
Thanks for mentioning us. I can assure you that we try our best to do more on our Twitter handles than to just post releases. It takes all the fun out of tweeting if it’s not conversational!
