This one might become a little redundant; because the very next thing I’m going to do after posting this to the blog, is tweet it…
If you haven’t heard of it yet, Twitter is a type of “microblogging” where people post 140 character messages about themselves, a subject they’re interested in, or other amusements. Many companies and social interest groups have also discovered that Twitter is a powerful tool of social media. PETS 911 should be no exception to this so.
Without further ado: Please come follow us (Pets911com) on Twitter.
By following us you can stay abreast of updates, blog posts, news and information from the shelter community, and become another part of the vast pet adoption network that has been developed over many years. You can also become an interactive part of that community.
It is my thinking as well that there are some extremely fundamental ways that social platforms like Twitter can be used by shelters themselves to keep in contact with volunteers, foster homes, and even the seeking public at large who are looking for that special someone to take home. Since most shelters/rescues work with the local community to get things done they can leverage Twitter in multiple ways to get the word out, or just broadcast information to their volunteers/workers.
Keep an eye out for more articles on how technology such as this can be put to work for you as a shelter, a rescue, animal aware volunteer, or simple woman/man-on-the-street pet lover.
