Shreveport Mayor Cedric B. Glover invites citizens and members of the media to communicate with him using Twitter as he travels to the Caofeidian Forum in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, China. | The City’s website www.shreveportla.gov on its homepage is providing an opportunity for citizens to travel with the Mayor using Twitter. You will see his first Tweet of the morning talks about leaving Shreveport Regional Airport with a local pastor Bishop Jerry Maiden and a group from Summer Grove Baptist. After receiving that Tweet we learned that the Mayor was temporarily delayed at DFW this morning due to weather concerns. | “While I’m extremely excited about this trip and the prospective business and economic possibilities for Shreveport, I am equally as excited to use Twitter to keep citizens up-to-date on activities, events and the sights and sounds of the three-day international development and industrialization forum,” says Glover. “I hope you will follow me on Twitter to read about my experience.” | You can also visit the Caofeidian Forum’s website at www.cfdforum.org for details on the forum and the activities of its distinguished guests. | Twitter is a social networking application whereby users share short, 140-character messages and relate current events in real-time. You’re invited to follow the Mayor on Twitter at username “MayorGlover” or www.twitter.com/MayorGlover | # # # # |
