e2Campus Announces Twitter Integration

Enables e2Campus customers to push e2Campus alerts directly to a Twitter account

ORLANDO, FL – October 30, 2008 – From booth #1450 at EDUCAUSE 2008, Omnilert®, LLC today announced that the e2Campus® emergency notification system for higher education is now integrated with Twitter. This enables e2Campus clients to push e2Campus alerts automatically and simultaneously to their school’s Twitter account without having to login into their Twitter account separately. Students who follow their school’s Twitter would then receive alerts through Twitter without ever having to sign up for e2Campus. There is no cost for e2Campus clients to utilize this new feature.

“Using technology that is most relevant to your students is the best way to reach them quickly,” stated Nick Gustavsson, Chief Technology Officer of Omnilert, LLC. “All the school has to do is add the free Twitter utility to their e2Campus account and then publish their Twitter name so students can follow it to receive alerts.”

About Twitter
Twitter is a free communication 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. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS, email or through an application such as Twitterrific or Facebook. Visit www.twitter.com to learn more.
