Twitter feeds we recommend

February 2nd, 2010 by Julie Ferguson

For workers’ comp news and other links in between blog posts, we encourage you to follow @workcompinsider on Twitter. If you aren’t yet on Twitter, you may want to think about it. Even if you aren’t ready to engage, it can be a great way to follow industry buzz. You may already be following many blogs and news sources through RSS (syndicated) feeds via news readers – we do, too. But Twitter feeds add diversity and immediacy as well as the potential for engagement. You don’t have to have messages fed to your mobile devices, you can choose to follow folks on your Twitter home page or via a service like TweetDeck.
