27. Summary
If timely communication, engagement, relationships
and conversation are considered of value to academic
activities then, if used effectively, platforms such as
Twitter can have a marked impact.
[I]f we think of a role of academic work to engage with
people, to spark conversations and debate, pull
together specialists in a field to network we find the
value of social media. Social media pulls insiders
out, and allows outsiders in to organizations, so that
they can create a more meaningful relationship
between themselves and their academic work and
communities.
