NASA’s use of the microblogging Web site Twitter to provide updates about the Mars Phoenix Lander mission has won the agency an award for one of the best uses of social networking media, the agency said.
NASA won a Shorty Award from the Internet firm Sawhorse Media, the company announced Feb. 11.
The Shorty Awards were created to honor the best producers of short content on Twitter during 2008, according to Sawhorse Media. Updates on NASA’s Mars Phoenix Lander mission received the most votes in the science category from users of the site.
