Some of you already know that I have a serious addiction to the micro-blogging platform Twitter. And I am hoping that our friends and allies attending the Climate Change Conference in Poland this week and next can keep all of us not lucky enough to go informed on the happenings through a #poznan Twitterย feed.

For those of you not familiar with Twitter, but would like to maybe give it a try at the Poznan Climate Changeย Conference.

Hereโ€™s some simpleย instructions:

1. Sign up for an account by goingย here.

2. Once youโ€™re signed up, you can do all sorts of things like add friends (you can add me by going here and hitting โ€œfollowโ€), customize your page, but most importantly you can start twittering, meaning you can easily update people in very short messages about what youโ€™re doing. Hence the labelย โ€œmicro-blogging.โ€

3. And for the Poznan conference, everytime you update all of us on the latest happenings be sure to add this: โ€œ#poznanโ€ to your message. If you do that and everyone elses does that we end up with a nice big interconnected Poznan instant update system on Twitter that you can find by goingย here.

And it looks likeย this:

So letโ€™s get that #poznan Twitter feed up andย going!
