So, I’m trying really hard to put together a list of twitter users who talk about astronomy on a regular basis. I’m doing this as part of a general report on New Media for the Decadal Survey. This is a list of everyone from folks who promote their local club, to people who actively share their favorite astronomy articles, to missions that update the public on their activities via twitter, to bloggers who use twitter to promote their astronomy websites, and to astronomers who periodically w00t about their latest discovery. Is this you? If it is, can you look at this list and let me know if I have found you? (And did I find anyone who doesn’t really communicate astronomy?) Direct tweet or comment any requested changes.

Hi Pamela
We are Newbury Astronomical Society based in the UK. The society has been in existence for about 20 years and has recently joined Twitter as @NewburyAS.
We recently did a Twitter Moonwatch and to our amazement had thousands of hits on TwitPic and hundreds of people joining in live on Twitter.
IYA 2009 UK did this report aswell as others: http://www.astronomy2009.co.uk/index.php/news-mainmenu-37/22-announcements/109-twitter-moonwatch and http://bit.ly/hFodY
We are extremely active with outreach activities,Star Parties, talks and other events and often partner with Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire UK and the British Astronomical Association.
We will be doing regular Twitter events such as the Moonwatch in the future.
Please follow us and add us to your list.
Thanks
