The Town of Medfield has created a Twitter account to notify residents of important issues. To follow @TownofMedfield, go to https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/TownofMedfield%20 Yesterday the schools website was down, and not all town workers had power to get notices posted on the town’s website, so the situation highlighted the need for a way to communicate with residents in an emergency. Twitter should be a good vehicle, as people can access it from cell phones even when their power is out.
Since learning of Twitter, I have been using @Medfield to inform people of what I learn as a selectman, and I offered to give that name to the Town of Medfield to use, if they wanted it.
