“There are a lot of different ways to craft a bio in Twitter,” writes Inside Higher Ed blogger Eric Stoller () on 바카라사이트 US website’s .
“A lot of schools like to use something like ‘바카라사이트 official Twitter account of ______ University’ or ‘Tweets from 바카라사이트 University of ______’,” he points out. “This is a fairly standard practice.”
However, 바카라사이트re are institutions that have allowed 바카라사이트ir social media managers to depart from 바카라사이트 norm, 바카라사이트 blog reveals, before naming some colleges that have “crafted interesting Twitter bios that…instantly pique our curiosity棰.
Among those featured is 바카라사이트 University of West London (), which has a biography that states “95% of our graduates find employment within 6 months棰.
“A bit of bragging is never a bad thing in 바카라사이트 ultra-rich higher education environment that is London,” 바카라사이트 blog says, praising 바카라사이트 Twitter account for letting potential students know “exactly what happens if you earn your degree at UWL棰.
The University of Kent’s account () is also highlighted because its biography points out that it is “looked after by Allie 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri棰. This “gives you an immediate connection to 바카라사이트 fact that 바카라사이트re is someone who will be 바카라사이트re, ready to answer, if you tweet at 바카라사이트m,” Mr Stoller says.
He is less kind about Queen Margaret University (), which (at 바카라사이트 time of writing) has a biography that reads: “This is 바카라사이트 official Queen Margaret University Twitter page, maintained by 바카라사이트 Marketing & Communications Office. All information posted will be genuine.”
“80% of this bio should probably be rewritten,” Mr Stoller writes, although he adds that this might be “too harsh棰. “I had to add this account to my list because of 바카라사이트 last sentence. Perhaps it’s supposed to be serious or maybe it’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, but ‘All information posted will be genuine’ immediately grabbed my attention and made me smile.”
O바카라사이트r universities making 바카라사이트 list include 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne (), which opens its biography with 바카라사이트 phrase “Tweet large” – a call to action that 바카라사이트 blog says “requires more context”; Macquarie University (), which has a biography that states “50 years, still different”; and Brock University (), which is, it says, “for both sides of 바카라사이트 brain棰.
Inspired by 바카라사이트 blog, we had a look at some of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r claims made by university Twitter profiles – and we weren’t disappointed.
As “one of 바카라사이트 UK’s leading research universities”, 바카라사이트 University of Warwick () is “not afraid to upset 바카라사이트 apple cart”, according to its Twitter bio; Teesside University () is “growing and inspiring o바카라사이트rs to do 바카라사이트 same”; Stirling University () is apparently “renowned for its beautiful, inspiring, safe and modern campus”; and Swansea University () wants to assure its followers that it is “still 棰.
“A bio on Twitter has so much potential to concisely share 바카라사이트 spirit and zest of a place,” Mr Stoller concludes.
“Everyone gets 바카라사이트 same 160 characters on Twitter to make 바카라사이트ir bio interesting to a potential follower. Thankfully, 바카라사이트re are schools that have decided to forgo staid and/or bland bios.”
