What is Twitter?
Twitter is a free online service that allows people to post short messages, or “tweets”, such as

Flat Stanley recently visited the Museum of Discovery and made some VERY colorful friends! Check out the pics! http://ow.ly/jRD2

These messages can be seen by anyone who chooses to “follow” the Museum. The messages can be read at the twitter web site and on handheld devices such as smart phones. Signing up and participating in Twitter is free (and awfully fun!).

The Museum send daily tweets about Museum exhibits, events, and breaking news. You can follow the Museum of Discovery's tweets @arkmod

Farewell Kelly...Here comes Baby Girl Massey!!

We would like to say a temporary goodbye to our blog editor Kelly Massey. Kelly has donated her time as the Museum of Discovery's blog editor since early 2009 and she's done a fab-u-lous job!

The Massey family is expanding and with the coming of Baby Girl Massey, Kelly will take a temporary break from blogging for the Museum. Please join us in thanking Kelly for her volunteer service.

"I will be excited to post a picture of Dylan with his baby sister," said Kelly. We look forward to that! Before you know it, she will be ready for Wiggle Worms and Room to Grow!
