Ajay Chahar '12 now has company online.

The first-year student has been keeping everyone updated about campus happenings through Twitter, a micro-blogging service.

Chahar will still use that platform for now, but his brief posts and those of other Colgate students and staff members also will be presented on a Twitter-like blog called ''gatetwitter.

The Office of Public Relations and Communications is moving to a new platform for posting and distributing stories that appear on www.colgate.edu.

 Looking for another way to discover what life is like at Colgate? Jump online and take part in the 'gatelife blog.
