SummaryIf timely communication, engagement, relationships and conversation are considered of value to academic activities then, if used effectively, platforms such as Twitter can have a marked impact.
But if we think of a role of academic work to engage with people, to spark conversations and debate, pull together specialists in a field to network we find the value of social media. Social media pulls insiders out, and allows outsiders in to organizations, so that they can create a more meaningful relationship between themselves and their academic work and communities.
