PBI has now expanded to Twitter! We are excited to be providing updates, news, and information in this way. While the PBI Twitter is already active, it will become even more so before long! In the fall, Twitter updates will be given live from the tundra by scientists, zoologists, educators, youth leaders, and others—from the tundra buggies in the Hudson Bay area near Churchill, Manitoba.
According to Wikipedia, “Twitter is a free social networking and micro–blogging service that enables its users to send and receive other users’ updates known as tweets.” PBI has decided to harness the “power” and communication strengths of this social networking media in order to better provide information and updates to its constituents and other interested parties.
In addition to Twitter, PBI also now has a Facebook account where visitors can get news updates about polar bears and climate change as well as share polar bear stories, videos, and photos. While Facebook started as a social networking site for people (initially college students), many organizations are now utilizing it as well.
So, subscribe to the Twitter and visit the Facebook account! We’d love to “see” you there!
