Universitiesandcolleges.org' September survey of university-run Twitter accounts  recently revealed some pretty interesting results: Harvard has the the most Twitter followers out of any U.S. university—with 18,955 total. (Stanford is a distant second with 10,873 followers.)

Harvard has accumulated so many followers partly because it operates over a dozen different Twitter accounts—including @HarvardSummer, @HarvardFASGreen, @harvard_uos (University Operations Services), @HUDSInfo, @HBSJobs, and of course @HarvardGenEd. The University's official Twitter account boasts 4,207 followers: only 22 percent of Harvard's total stalkers.

Here are Harvard's FAS Green Offices, for example:

All right, Harvard is getting defensive about an A- by mentioning that no one got an A. Also, two of the three grades that dragged Harvard's grade down were for Student Involvement (a B) and Endowment Transparency (a C).  Surprised?
