Follow us on Twitter @ItalyFromInside

If you like our blog and you are on Twitter, now you can follow us at @ItalyFromInside.
Twitter is a fast growing micro-blogging platform where people share ideas and information in just 140 characters.
Twitter doesn't replace existing blogs, podcasts, Facebook or other social media resources out there. It actually augments them and offers another way to quickly communicate your thoughts and find people who share the same passion (in our case, our love for Italy).
We plan to make a creative use of our Twitter account and look forward to meet with you in our Italian Twittersphere.
p.s. If you'd like to follow also our private accounts, Paolo is @tosolini and Francesca is @fromitaly.

Italian word of the day via Twitter


If you are into social media and geeky stuff, you've probably heard about Twitter. Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

What's the relationship between Twitter and Italy? Well, I just found out of a new Twitter user called @italianword who broadcasts on a daily basis a new Italian term together with its meaning and a link to its audio pronunciation.

If you are studying Italian and are looking for an easy reminder of a new word to learn every day, then consider getting a Twitter account and follow @italianword.

p.s. I do have a personal Twitter account @tosolini but I mostly twit about work stuff. If you think I should start twitting about Italy more often than I blog, please let me know and I'll consider doing it.
