To Tweet or Not To Tweet...

Probably not! I have to say it was quite interesting learning about Twitter and what is involved, but it is kind of overwhelming to me right now. I do like how short and sweet the messages are, but I just don't get it! I'm not sure I would use this at all, but I do see how it could be helpful in a business or profession. I first looked at some of the top tweeters and then searched for librarians. I tried narrowing it down to children's librarians but there were no matches. I did set up an account and went down the list of suggestions on the left to add some followers to my account. I selected Borders, PBS, People, Libraries, some entertainment stuff, and then discovered my son's twittering and followed him. He actually was pleasantly surprised and he is now following me. I didn't realize that I would get Twitter notifications through my email (I guess I left that checked when setting up the account) and got a tweet from Ellen DeGeneres which was kind of cool! I'll have to play around with it more and maybe it will grow on me!
