I’ve noted before that the State Department is making use of Web 2.0 social networking tools and in this latest example they are using the Twitter service to promote public diplomacy:
For those of you on Twitter, you can experience public diplomacy in real-time as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, Colleen Graffy, travels to Bucharest and twitters along the way. It is “International Education Week” in Romania, and she will be meeting with students, Fulbright scholars, conducting media interviews, visiting the University of Bucharest, and speaking at the Romanian Diplomatic Institute, among other things. Follow the details of Colleen Graffy's trip here, and don't forget, DipNote is also on Twitter.
I’ve been following DipNote on Twitter for a while now and I’m impressed with the State Department's web savvy, they are making a real effort to bring diplomacy into the 21st Century. And, of course, you can also follow U.S. Role on Twitter.
