    In an effort to bolster communications with members, associations and media, the United States Bowling Congress is continuing to grow its presence on social networking Web sites.

    USBC recently re-launched its Twitter feed, while the USBC Facebook fan page continues to grow. Both sites serve as a complement to USBC's main presence on the Internet: BOWL.com.

    "We post Twitter updates several times per day with relevant USBC information," USBC Vice President of Media Pete Tredwell said. "A story will often be tweeted before it gets posted on BOWL.com. Even more valuable, there will be many nuggets of information that may not be deemed important enough for a press release, but many fans of USBC will still want to know."

    USBC's Twitter feed can be accessed by going to twitter.com/usbc. There is no login or registration required to access USBC's tweets.

    On Facebook, USBC launched its fan page in October and now has nearly 17,000 fans. Facebook fans get not only text updates, but also exclusive photos and links to videos. To access USBC's Facebook fan page, go to facebook.com/usbc1.
