100 and counting in the land of Twitter

I'm sure you will have seen that the IMA has a Twitter account (http://twitter.com/IMAmaths). Well today it celebrated its 100th Tweet!

The twitter feed has been used as a mechanism to quickly let people know of many things: 

to highlight some maths:

Interesting Maths: 130 is the only integer that is the sum of its first four divisors squared: 1^2 + 2^2 + 5^2 + 10^2 = 130. RT @rigb_maths

to highlight mathematics that will be of interest to an event in the coming year:

Can we predict how many medals the UK might win in 2012, and is hosting the Olympics an advantage? http://bit.ly/fgSZrY RT @mathsandsport 

to highlight that people want to know what YOUR favourite number is:

Almost 5000 entries so far in favourite number survey. If you haven't voted yet, please do: http://www.favouritenumber.net RT @alexbellos

and finally, our 100th tweet - to highlight free tools for teaching mathematics and conferences where you can gain CPD on using such tools: 
 
Geogebra - excellent free tool for teaching maths. Their conference in Austria: http://t.co/NZ2tBAj (or @MEIConference http://t.co/2XJTb4j) 

So, hopefully it can be seen that the IMA is making good use of modern technology, such as Twitter, to keep the world informed of IMA and related news.
