You can now follow DCist on Twitter so you’ll know when we add good stuff to the site. As many of you no doubt know, Twitter allows you to keep in touch with friends with short updates via the web or SMS.

For now, the DCist Updates Twitter feed is not automated — we’re doing it manually so that we can decide which new posts to send out so that you aren’t overloaded with a zillion tweets a day. DCist Updates will only include links to breaking news, event listings and a few other special posts we think you’ll find particularly helpful — about 3-5 updates a day. Click over here to start following us, and be sure to let us know if you have suggestions for improvements.
