Twitter

I have been twittering for quite a while now and I find it fascinating.  People are just getting into it and so there is the potential to connect with people that you wouldn't normally.  I follow local politicians and it's interesting to see what they tweet (and what they do with the feedback they receive on twitter).  One thing that is key from a business (or library) perspective is twittering relevant information, making it interesting, and always responding to comments you receive from people.  I like twitter, and I'm pretty hooked on reading tweets, but I'm not too convinced about how it works for libraries yet.  I kind of feel like sometimes we are simply talking to ourselves as opposed (ie. other libraries and librarians) as opposed to the general public, which is who we want to reach.  Librarians are all technology obsessed sometimes, and not always in a good way! 

Still always fun though, and next we should be learning about Foursquare and Gowalla!
