Twitter is a tool of microblogging which allows to indicate to the network of the user what this user is 'doing for the moment'.

By using Twitter, the Web Unit emits short messages (no more than 140 signs) on the novelties of the website of the City of Brussels such as new municipal news, new events in the agenda, additions, modifications or corrections of pages, addition of photos in galleries...

Twitter should also allow to highlight urgent information (for example about demonstrations, traffic problems) or information that does not really deserve a longer article on the website (for example a weather problem).

It is thus an extra tool to follow the municipal information. It is added to the website and the RSS feeds.

By resorting to Twitter, Brussels is a pioneer in Belgium. Abroad, the system is used in the Netherlands (The Hague), in France (Saint-Etienne), in Canada (Quebec, Ottwawa).
