Notes

Note that:

Content
The IWMW Twitter account will be used to deliver official communications related to the IWMW 2008 event.
Numbers of Posts
In order to minimise the numbers of SMS messages received by people who have chosen to have messages delivered to their mobile phone we will keep the Twitter messages to a minimum. We do not expect to send more than one message per day prior to the event, although more messages may be sent if necessary during the event itself.
Quality of Service
The Twitter service is based on a number of third party services. UKOLN cannot accept responsibility for delays or failures for twitter posts to be delivered.
