Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS, email or through an application such as Twitterrific or Facebook ..."  From WikiPedia: "Twitter" 10/16/2008.

How is Utah County using Twitter?

Utah County has set up Twitter accounts to alert followers about breaking news, announcements, events and programs sponsored by the County. By following other government agencies, we provide an additional linking service for you that helps you find other government entities of interest.

Our Twitter accounts do not follow individuals or businesses in order to avoid any implied impressions of endorsements or support.

The Twitter accounts are used on a time available basis and operated by the Information Technology department. No immediate information regarding other department practices is available via these accounts.
