At the worldwebforum conference in Zurich, CERN was presented with the award of Best Swiss Twitter Page 2015.

Nicholas Muldoon, Agile coach at Twitter, selected CERN from a list of 10 Twitter accounts ranging from tourism to luxury brands to sports personalities. He presented the award to Kate Kahle, CERN’s social media manager and James Gillies, CERN’s head of communication… This award follows a report in 2013 that named CERN the most effective international organization on Twitter. In 2014, the @CERN Twitter account passed the 1 million followers mark and online audiences continue to grow on CERN’s social media platforms.

The laboratory is active on social media on Twitter in English and French as well as Facebook, Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram and the CERN communications group works closely with Human Resources and the LHC experiments for additional social media channels.

I’ve not been able to verify that a group of conspiracy theorists specializing in End of Days predictions have setup a SnapChat account for the LHC Big Bang they expect.

Thanks, Ursarodinia
