This is the Wilson Reference Twitter. This is another example of how we want to incorporate new technologies and gather more people. The advantage of using twitter is that our entries are concise, short, fun, and informational. It allows people to easily subscribe to our twitter feed, and see the types of questions we get from day to day.
