Though I gave Twitter a bit of a hard time here a couple weeks ago, I'm happy to announce that we at the International Crisis Group have launched a new Twitter feed of our own.
I wouldn't say I've had a change of heart exactly. I am just as wary of Twitter's potential in "citizen journalism" as I was in November. But having used Twitter quite a bit now -- and following the Twitter feeds of other non-governmental organisations and foreign ministries -- I think it's a great way to stay in touch with those who are interested in the information we are providing.
So, please feel free to follow the Crisis Group Twitter feed. It's still early days, but we've already got a link to new material on the Central African Republic there, and Uganda should come later in the day.

We welcome argument but AlertNet will not publish comments that are racist, abusive or libellous.
