Microblogging

I've been resisting adding one more tool that would be sending more info my way. But I did it for 23thingskansas. Recently the superintendent suggested it as a way to promote library programming. He had set up an account for the school but I haven't found it yet. The list did help and I used my address book to find friends that were using Twitter all ready.

I have started following a co-worker, my sister, and I'm trying to figure out how to follow a Kansas library. I'll have to let you know if I find any posts that have been helpful. So far, no.

Some uses for Twitter and our library:
May help organize great, instant meetups.
Could be used to take an opinion poll.
Direct patron’s attention to good things happening at the library.
Bring great minds together, and give opportunities to learn (if you look for it, and/or if you follow the right folks).
May give critics a forum, but that means you can study them.
