This is a brief update for the Twitter folks out there: As you know it is very hard getting all the relevant vacancy information in less than 140 characters. And different people find different information most useful so it is hard to decide what to include into different tweets.

To provide users out there with some options the UN Job List now has three Twitter feeds:

1. @UNJobList: The format for tweets on this feed is “Title” plus “Grade”. So you will see things like this:
   “#IOM: Programme Manager (Beautiful Kosovo) | Grade: P2 http://unjoblist.org/r/?248035 #UNJL”
2. @UNJobList_ds (DS for Duty Station): The format for tweets on this feed is “Title” plus “Duty Station”. These tweets look like this:
   “#IOM: Programme Manager (Beautiful Kosovo) | In: Pristina http://unjoblist.org/r/?248035 #UNJLDS”
3. @UNJobList_dl (DL for Deadline or Closing Date): On this feed tweets feature “Title” plus “Deadline”. The format is:
   “#IOM: Programme Manager (Beautiful Kosovo) | Closing: 2011-01-12 http://unjoblist.org/r/?248035 #UNJLDL”

All three feeds will tweet the same jobs so there is no need following more than one feed. The different hash tags should allow you to search and sort different feeds easily. If you have further ideas on how to improve the tweets, please let me know in the comments below.

Thanks a lot,
Sebastian
