LOVE Twitter! We (me) now do two twitter streams. One general news, occasional science news, reminders, even gave away some tickets and other items. The other stream is a daily science calendar item. We've had great response and have gotten good feedback from some users. See MuseumTweets. She is a Univ. of Wash. museology grad student doing her thesis on museum use of twitter and has compiled a good list. Twitter is addictive, fun, informative, evolving.
