Twitter

Go to the MY AADE Missouri State page. Under the file library you can learn about using twitter!


Twitter can be used to update your AADE members by using your cell phone twitter account or computer. For example: AADE twitter members can be updated in seconds on a current # or topic. I hope you can be creative and enjoy this free service.


A few months ago, I was able to search and find a diabetes educator for a friend that lives in Iraq. It took about 7 days by e-mail. Someone in St. Louis, Missouri saw my post on the My AADE Network and e-mailed an educator in Australia who knew an educator 3 hours away from Irbil, Iraq. You think that was pretty fast?


How about a small tweet that can be heard around the world in seconds? Go for it!
