We now have a site twitter account!
We've started tweeting, so why not follow @clinpsy?
Now 33 followers. I wonder how we get psychology societies and university departments to know we exist?
I suppose the eventual aim is to have a facebook page, and twitter, with automated feeds to and from this site?

Hashtags are a good way to flag up tweets. You also get 'suggested' to other people on their 'who to follow' link based on who you follow. People also tend to add you from another twitter feed's follower list (e.g. BPSconferences, researchdigest, etc.).
You could email all courses to publicise the twitter/facebook feeds?

Well, I think at first we will just be filtering some of the most interesting mental health related news and links we receive (so that our followers don't need to follow loads of mental health related feeds) but we will also tweet interesting site announcements (eg "you can now buy tickets for the 100 raffle in aid of Kids Company").
When we upgrade the site, there will be much more integration, so for example we are developing a feed to the front page of the website with what's being talked about on the forum, and the mods will be able to tweet any entries from that "eg hot topic today on clinpsy - confidentiality for staff information" with a link to the discussion.
We are also working on buttons for the forum which will allow people to facebook like a post, or tweet about it...

We now have 113 followers and are now listed on the following twitter lists: @PositiveLearner/psychology, @routledgemh/professional, @Rishified/mental-health
The number of people retweeting us is also steadily growing
I've tried to include a range of topics (research relevant to clinical/health/developmental psychology, neuroscience, health, policy, research and science communication) in the stuff I tweet and retweet on the ClinPsy twitter feed.

Sounds good I've also been using it to tweet, but not as regularly as you H2eau, so thanks!
I think when we upgrade the site our front page can have our latest tweets on it, as well as the option to tweet what is popular on the forum.
btw, do we gain any advantage from following so many people? I feel a little overwhelmed trying to sift through and decide what to retweet and what to read!

Twitter made easier
Hi there,
I've been learning a lot about twitter recently for a job, & I can really recommend hootsuite.com. It's basically a better interface to view your twitter account on (& facebook if you want). It has several vertical columns with different functions. One is your newsfeed, another is sent tweets, another is mentions of your twitter name (so you can see who's retweeted your tweets etc). You can set up columns for saved search terms (e.g. #psychology, #CBT - therefore helping to sort through endless tweets for the useful stuff) and there's even a column for 'delayed' tweets where you can schedule tweets to publish when you're not logged on.
It's probably worth taking a look, as I'm sure it's better to see it as an image than as prose. I have found it much better and user-friendly than the normal twitter site.
Hope it helps, & PM me if you've got anymore Q's or if I can help at all.
