AfL on Twitter!

AfL started a pilot Twitter account in January 2010; www.twitter.com/archives4london Twitter is a free social networking and microblogging service that enables its subscribers to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on a home profile page and delivered to other Twitter users who sign up to receive your tweets (followers). 

AfL tweets are posted at least weekly on topics concerning London’s archives. Although many Twitter uses make their tweets very personal, the archives4london tweets are non-personal and general interest, reflecting the organisation rather than the author.
 
To date archives4london has 33 followers and appear on 6 lists (compilations by other Twitter users) demonstrating the capacity to reach truly new audiences.There is no cost to being a Twitter subscriber, so the additional profile is free to AfL.
You don’t neeed to be a Twitter subscriber to see the AfL tweets - just go to www.twitter.com and search ‘archives4london’.
 
It is hoped that we can embed the AfL Twitter feed into the AfL website to increase topicality.is hoped that we can embed the AfL Twitter feed into the AfL website to increase topicality.
