I just thought of creating a list of academics with twitter accounts, so, if you are one and would like to be on the list, post a comment here including your twitter user name and your area (i.e.: Communication, Public Relations) as well as any other information you’d like to list.
Here, I’ll start:
@prprof_mv
Dr. Mihaela Vorvoreanu
Communication Studies: Public Relations, Emerging communication technologies
Clemson University, Department of Communication Studies
http://www.prconnections.net
http://prprofmv.wordpress.com
I’ll disseminate the list on PROpenMic and here.
WHY? So we can learn together about twitter in higher education.
[update: Barbara Nixon has already started a list of PR profs on twitter. Might as well put your name in both places if you teach PR. This list is for all subjects, from PR & Communication to… Mechanical Engineering.]

Hey Mihaela,
Great idea. Thanks for doing this.
I’m @rdfrench on Twitter. My updates are protected, but I really just do that to keep them from being indexed by Google and other search engines. I’ll certainly follow all faculty and let them follow me, too.
