How do I follow the NCOENGAGE Twitter?

You can easily follow the NCOENGAGE Twitter feed by viewing it on the NCO Home page or following the NCOENGAGE Twitter through your own Twitter account. Start by going to the Twitter log-in page and creating your own free personal account (follow the on-screen directions). Once set-up, search NCOENGAGE under "Find People" and click the "Follow" button. That's all there is to it.

RSS and Mobile Phone: You can also set up an RSS feed from your Twitter account as well as set up your mobile phone text messaging to recieve Twitter messages. On-screen directions are available once you've logged into your Twitter account.

What happened to the NCO Twitter feed, I don't see it on the NCO Home page?

The Twitter feed displays on the NCO home page relies on Twitter's server. Sometimes the Twitter external feeds get overwhelmed with traffic and crash. During these times, the feed will not be able to be read from the NCO Home page. Often you will still be able to read it through your Twitter account or your other messaging devices. In any case, be patient, the delays usually don't last long. Check back in a couple hours and things should be up again.
