OLC Youth Groups joined TWITTER!
Twitter is a Web company with a very simple
service that has rapidly becoming one of the most talked-
about social networking service providers. So what does
Twitter do for OLC? We will use the service to TWEET
messages to our network of teens. Since many teens no
longer read their e-mails, Laura will send a TWEET that is a
short reminder message of upcoming activities to your Twitter
account. Currently, Laura sends out over 100 TEXT
messages AND emails each week! This is, yet another way,
of letting teens know what's going on. You are welcomed
to become a "Follower" to receive Direct Message TWEETS from
Laura on your TWITTER account timeline. Laura will NOT
respond to any TWEETS that she receives! Twitter@OLCYouthGroup
