Twitter, the so-called "microblogging" service where people post up-to-140-character missives, or "tweets," has proven vital as a source of news and information in rapidly evolving situations such as the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2009 Iranian presidential election. In recognition of the growing legitimacy of the platform, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Sawhorse Media established the Shorty Awards in 2009 to honor the best short-form content in categories ranging from humor and entertainment to news and politics. Among the 2010 Shorty winners were Newark, N.J. mayor Cory Booker, '91, MA '92, in the government category and radio/television host Rachel Maddow, '94, for journalism. In addition, Forbes.com named GSB marketing professor Jennifer Aaker, PhD '95, and Stanford wellness instructor Kelly McGonigal, PhD '04, to its list of "20 Inspiring Women to Follow on Twitter."
