ASPRS Is Now on Twitter

ASPRS is now on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ASPRSorg.  Members and those interested in the activities of the Society are invited to follow the account to access the latest information with regard to Society news, conferences, publications and much more.  Tweets will include reminders of conference deadlines, notices of upcoming ASPRS webinars and new book releases, and headlines of Society press releases. 

ASPRS will use #ASPRS10 as the official hashtag for tweets about the ASPRS Annual Meeting in San Diego in late April, and invites everyone to use it as they tweet about their plans.

“Our use of social media is a natural part of our effort to be more connected with our members and others who follow the geospatial information sciences and technologies,” said ASPRS Executive Director James Plasker.
