Our 3,000^th follower joined us on Twitter this afternoon. We were one of the first charities on Twitter - joining in March 2007. It's over the last 6 months though that the site has really taken off and we've learnt more about how best to use it to reach out to our supporters.

If you haven't joined us yet, visit www.twitter.com/warchilduk to follow our tweets and be the first to know what we're up to.
