The Lansing Sailing Club is on Twitter

The Lansing Sailing Sailing Club is now on Twitter. Anyone with internet access can view our page at http://twitter.com/lansingsailing - and for other twitterers, there are additional advantages.

One advantage is that you can set up your Twitter account to receive LSC Updates as text messages on your cell phone (standard text messaging rates apply). We plan to use updates to broadcast information on race day sailing conditions.

Anyone can join Twitter at no cost. Click the box that says "Join Today". See below to configure your account for updates to be sent to you as text messages

Configure Your Twitter Account for Updates to be Sent You as Text Messages

• Sign in to your Twitter account.
• Click "Settings" in the menu bar at the top of the page.
• Click "Devices" in the menu bar at the top of the Settings Page.
• Enter your cell phone number in the box, preceeded by "+1". For example:
     +15173399030          if your phone number is 517-339-9030.
• Click the box for "It's ok for Twitter to send txt messages to my phone..."
• Click on "Save"
• You will see a message asking you to verify your cell phone number by sending a text message to 40404. The contents of the message are a code word that is displayed.

Now, configure your Twitter Account to "follow" LSC:

• Sign in to your Twitter account if you aren't already signed in.
• Go to http://twitter.com/lansingsailing
• Click the "Follow" box that appears below the LSC Logo. A box saying "Following - Device updates OFF" should appear. Click in this "Following" box.
• Click the "On" button for "Device updates".

This will cause LSC Twitter updates to be sent to your cell phone as text messages. Don't forget that you will be charged for any text messages you receive from Twitter at your standard text messaging rate.
