Progress! New Accounts ready to go...

This week, I created a few new social media accounts for UNH, concentrating mainly on Twitter, but I wanted to get the UNH username before it was taken by another school, business, or firm.

We first used @UNHToday, but that twitter account wasn't much use when trying to mention UNH in a tweet -- For example: "I visited @UNHToday campus and it was impressive!" It would be better to have @UNH, as '@UNHToday' just doesn't flow or fit properly... Just ask the students over at the school newspaper, The New Hampshire: http://bit.ly/SJZgJe

I searched and searched for a new Twitter handle for the university to use, even calling University of New Haven to try and purchase @UNH from their admissions office... That didn't work, so the hunt continued...

New accounts created:

Google+: https://plus.google.com/+unh
Twitter: http://twitter.com/UNHToday

We were also mentioned on Mashable for being one of the first 16 schools to embrace Google Plus.
