The last several months we’ve been featuring a “Did you know?” daily tweet on Twitter. For the most part of this time, our feed has been fairly popular with at current 148 followers. The whole idea behind this campaign was actually not to continually feature these tweets, but to, at some point, come up with a new strategy for the use of Twitter, more focused on sharing our knowledge and views in a more directly usable manner.

We’ve now come to the point where we’ve decided to stop featuring the “Did you know?” tweets and instead begin twittering about subjects like the following:

• Security related news from around the world
• Public discussions we have an opinion about
• Research news from the fields of information security, cryptography and IT criminal psychology
• Security & business related comments from Aconiac Security Group members
• Tutorials & Guides which we believe our readers will find especially useful

Also unlike before, we will not be focused on putting out tweets once a day (or at any other specific time), but instead when they are relevant. This may mean that some days won’t even have any tweets at all, while other days may have several.

We hope our Twitter followers will keep on enjoying our feed, even though we’re now shifting focus! Feel free to comment on our actions here or on Twitter.. we want to hear what you think!

Best Regards

Yes, Aconiac has now officially started twittering!

Now you’re probably thinking: “Why? oh why God?”. Especially if you’re the typical European or business professional. However after having looked into the matter, we have found good use of Twitter and can see how it has it’s place in the future business market – so that is really why!

So what will be twittering?  Well, we thought long and hard about what content could be efficiently distributed in 140 characters, since this is, by all common standards, a very limited text amount. Ultimately we came to the conclusion, that security tips & tricks, news and facts were of most interest and it is therefore this we will be twittering in the future with our “Did you know?” posts.

If this has peaked your interest, please go to http://twitter.com/AconiacSecurity and follow our posts there.

As a final note: We’ve added a “Tweet this” button to all posts, so that you can easily post our blog posts titles and links to your Twitter account.
