Staying in Touch with our Students

Staying in touch with our members at Art Mason' Peaceful Warriors' Martial Arts Institute has always been very important to us. With this in mind we are always looking for ways to make this easier for students to get updates and news. Well we have something very new and exciting to announce. Peaceful Warriors' on Twitter.

What is Twitter? Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can send and receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS (receive only), or through applications such as Tweetie, Twitterrific, Twitterfon, TweetDeck and Feedalizr.

Student who create Twitter accounts and 'follow' PeaceWarriors wil receive live updates on school news and happenings in real time depending on how they setup their access. Imagine never missing an event, function or bit of news again! Plus, you can post questions to the school on your Twitter account. So how do you get started?
