@slashnews (slash news) will launch our own official Twitter account today Friday.
Twitter allows people to update each other via web blogs, mobile and text messages, also known as micro-blogging, in response to the question 'What are you doing?'
Those who log onto @slashnews will see a variety of micro-blogging content in the form of news, views and observations from the slashnews thinking as well as the future development of the site.
'At this stage it will be very editorial led but clearly there is a lot of potential here for communicating with our readers across many areas so I am sure as things develop over time.
'We want our Twitter to have its own tangible personality, a little bit of mystery and be fun.
'Hopefully people will want to follow what slashnews is doing and seeing. What we can guarantee is that the mixture of contents, from breaking news to day-to-day inane routine, which is what makes this form of communication so compelling.
