Find CIRAD’s news and diary on Twitter.
Twitter is a tool for social networking and microblogging, which allows the user to post short messages (140 characters maximum), called “tweets” and share them with a community.
CIRAD’s Twitter account includes some news and the diary published on the organisation’s institutional website. In addition, it signals events from the CIRAD diary. Lastly, some of the messages published by the profiles that CIRAD is subscribed to on Twitter are used (re-twittered) on CIRAD’s profile.
This method of communication comes from Web 2.0 and is an addition to the RSS channels, which CIRAD has already been offering to internauts for several years via its institutional Internet site.
