Testing Utterz for higher ed marketing

The Missouri S&T communications team just created our very own Utterz account to use for on-the-fly reporting about certain events that involve our university. I’m getting ready to try it out this weekend, as I and Missouri S&T video guy Tom Shipley will be joining up with our school’s Formula SAE team — one of dozens of teams involved in an annual formula-style race at Michigan International Speedway. This weekend’s event is a test for Utterz, which we hope to incorporate into our marketing and communications efforts during a long road trip with our solar car team this summer. We’ll be incorporating Utterz into our university Twitter presence @MissouriSandT and a student design team blog called Experience This!

I’m not aware of any other universities using Utterz. Are you? If so, any advice?

Here’s my first attempt at Utterzing:
