Moon Township, Pa. - The Robert Morris University sports information department has announced a new service to social media users and Colonials fans - @RMUScoreboard on Twitter.

The new handle, @RMUScoreboard, will allow fans to get the latest score updates from the field, court, ice, pitch or diamond. The previously established Twitter account for the athletic department, @RMUAthletics, will still be used for news stories, promotional announcements and other general athletics news.

Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news about what you find interesting. At the heart of Twitter are small bursts of information called Tweets. Each Tweet is 140 characters long, but don't let the small size fool you-you can discover a lot in a little space. You can see photos, videos and conversations directly in Tweets to get the whole story at a glance, and all in one place.
