Follow BikePortland on Twitter

This is just a quick note to encourage everyone to check out BikePortland on Twitter. If you’re not sure what Twitter is, learn more on their FAQ page.

In a nutshell, Twitter is a mini-blogging platform that can be easily updated using text messages. The updates are short (140 characters max) and once you’re signed up, you can “follow” certain users and see their updates on your home page (or on your iPhone or other mobile device).

I have been using it for a few months now. In addition to all the latest BikePortland stories being automatically posted, I also share thoughts, tidbits and scoops you won’t see anywhere else. For instance, I posted a “tweet” (that’s Twitter-speak for an update/post) about the Oregonian’s new commuting blog long before it officially launched.

I’m still exploring how best to use it and I hope some of you find it valuable.

See you on Twitter … Twitter.com/BikePortland

This is a wonderful tool and an easy, efficient way to keep up to speed. The “tweets” about events and newly-posted articles are very helpful (usually, I just visit bikeportland.org randomly throughout the day). Great idea, and great work – as always – BikePortland team. See you at Bike Craft IV! Thanks again for all that you do to help keep us informed.

Just found this list of other bike industry types using Twitter — check it out, you can stay up-to-date on what Lance has for breakfast and when Xtracycle has a sale.
