Twitter, the micro-blogging online social networking service has been in existence since 2006. It allows users to send and read text-based posts of up to 140 characters, known as “tweets”. Although, the media mainly quote Twitter in the context of celebrity sleaze -idle and ignorant chit chat among the ‘Twitterati’and/or in the context of political upheavals -it is widely being used as a communication and marketing tool among professional individuals, organisations and institutions associated with education and research.
