Are you following Wiscomm on Twitter?

Do you Twitter? Wiscomm has been experimenting with Twitter for a few months now, mostly reposting content from our Blog we launched about a year ago.

What is Twitter? Well Wikipedia describes it as "Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length."

As we try to grow and develop Wiscomm we are willing to try anything once, we really believe this short form of communication is about to explode and we want to be part of it!

As part of this experiment we are about to run a really short term crazy special directed to our Twitter followers, we can't tell when or what the deal is going to be, you will need to follow us to find out!
