Malone Consulting Services was pleased to announce that one of its Twitter accounts, @WVNaturalGas, has surpassed 1,000 followers. The site was established two years ago to provide information and news about the state’s growing natural gas industry. Since this time, the site has attracted an ever-growing number of followers…not only from the state and region…but also from across the U.S. and around the world. Followers include individuals, companies and organizations from countries such as China, Russia, Middle East, Brazil, Latin America, etc. “The diversity, reach and breadth of @WVNaturalGas’s followers just shows how much interest there is in the shale gas bonanza that is going on in West Virginia and the eastern United States,” said Larry Malone, owner of Malone Consulting Services.
