Seattle Crime Blog now on Twitter
It took us a while to fully understand its purpose, but we've finally got Seattle Crime Blog set up on Twitter.
For those outside of the technological loop, Twitter is a "micro-blogging" service that allows users to post brief (140 characters or less) messages about what's going on their lives or on their blogs.
Right now we're mainly using it to highlight the most recent posts in Seattle Crime Blog, but next time we find ourselves surrounded with too much crime and not enough time, we're going to begin using it to provide quick links to outside sources. If important news breaks and we don't have time to blog it, expect at the very least a "tweet" on the matter.
Readers and local bloggers alike: are you on Twitter? If so, make sure to start following us (our user name is Seattle Crime) to stay up to date on the latest local crime news.
