As well as providing your members an easy way to see posts from the group, you can use Twitter to spread the word.

I think a good way of taking advantage of twitter is for your twitter account to 'follow' other twitterers. In that way they get notification that you are following them and they may look at your twitter profile and then follow you or at the least find out about Freegle. It is a great way to spread the word. Have a look at @FreegleBrighton and it'll give you an idea of what I am talking about.....My local council recycling, the green party, local removalists, collectors, scientists, designers, journalists and so on are all following @FreegleBrighton twitter now (yay)

Many groups are setting up Twitter accounts, and finding local stuff to follow. I usually chose local Freegle groups, Local Councils & Councillors, your local MP.s and maybe any interested in the environment. You local political parties, (don't forget the green party). Local firms, and Local people who don't use bad language. Then find your local radio stations, reporters, bloggers, and anything else you can think of. Some will find you back and sometimes retweet your posts.

I have seen some very good responses from councillors and reporters, and it has led to me getting a new moderator too.
