Thanks for the list. I have have listed all Canadian universities on my site with their number of students. I will include their Twitter account. What do you intend to do with the Webteam variable?
Posted on September 11th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Liz Azyan Says:
Hi Ali,
No problem. I haven’t included number of students just because the twitterleague usually does this for me. But the service is down at the moment so I can’t provide them. Once its up you can find it here http://www.lizazyan.com/university-twitterleague/
The webteam variable is really so universities can get in touch with other webteams in other universities to exchange ideas or best practices. Its something useful to know and have to improve services. However most people don’t know or don’t communicate with colleagues across the sector and its a great shame. Hope this helps.

Hi Liz! Thanks for the link. The list of all Canadian universities on Twitter can be found here: http://www.kinaze.org/universites-canadiennes-sur-twitter/ It’s in French but I think it’s pretty straight forward. I now need to classify them according to their number of followers!
It’s very interesting to compare how all universities around the world use Twitter.
