Twitter!!!!!

Twitter can be a great and fun tool to quickly relay information to others, especially if you’re a busy person and you need to send someone a quick fact, news or just a hello.  Library’s could use “twitter” to convey information about new resources (book, electronic, etc.), services and programming.  It would be an excellent tool to send a reminder to customers about a program they had registered for that is coming up tomorrow and much more.   I have to say personally “twitter” is not a tool I’d use regularly and in a world in which we are inundated with information and newsbytes coming at us in many forms (email, facebook, text messages via cell phones/blackberries, tv, paper notes, and even face to face) I find it hard to spend time to include “twitter” messages as well.
