Kingston Citizens reports that Brooklyn-on-the-Hudson our fair city to the east is dipping a toe into the waters of social media, and has gotten a Twitter account.
Good news! The city of Kingston is finally working to access social media outlets to communicate with the citizens of Kingston. We’ve been trying to get them to pay attention in this way for years. Back in the stone age, BW. (Before WordPress). Remember yahoo groups? HTML?
Their new handle is @KingstonNYgov, and here's their first tweet:
If the city keeps it updated, this could be really useful for Kingston's citizenry. Twitter's a great way to post quick real-time updates on things like road closings, fires, emergencies, and anything else where timeliness is of the essence.
Kingston's a wee bit late to the party. Here's a few other municipal Twitter accounts around the Catskills region (official or otherwise):
The New Paltz Police Department: @NewPaltzPD
Phoenicia: @PhoeniciaTop10
Fleischmanns: @FleischmannsNY
Roscoe: @RoscoeNY
Know of any we missed? Let us know and we'll add them.
