Do too many Tweets interfere with the social experience

Now even the NC State Technician is getting into the Twitter discussion.  The writer implies that students today do tweet, but cautions that Twitter may do more to harm social interaction than help.

“Whether or not you’re a fan of Twitter, the important thing is to use online social networking as a complement to genuine human interaction rather than a replacement.”  Read all about it here.

In other news, the university has exceeded it’s fund raising goal in the 2009 State Employees Combined Campaign!  NC State raised $538,667 this year, that’s up more than $18,000 from last year.  More than 7,700 employees participated in the campaign.

Thursday at Noon, NC State and CNN will recognize a local hero on the brickyard.  Doc Hendley, a 2004 graduate, will be recognized for his “Wine to Water” program.  To participate in the celebration come out to the brickyard and let CNN hear your pride.  http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/hero-turns-wine-to-water/
