NOMA gives a Tweet

Our friends at the Nasher Museum have been using Twitter for nearly two years. Originally the Tweets were directed to early adopters, mainly student groups on the Duke campus. With Twitter more widely accepted now, the messages are designed for a more general population.

The short, direct communication seems to serve the needs of both the museum and its fans. And Nasher is hardly the only one taking advantage.

Take a look at Jim's NOMA Twitter feed or Wendy Livingston's at the Nasher Museum for yourself and see if there are ideas that you might be able to implement.
