Even after reading the articles and watching the tutorials I'm still trying to figure out Twittering. When I hear the word Twitter, I think of birds chirping, not the latest thing in technology!
It seems egotistical to me to think that people care about what we are doing every minute of the day. And what happened to actually talking to people? Twittering seems impersonal. I don't think I will be personally twittering any time soon.
However, I could see the library twittering: "Story Time registration starts today," "A new Find Art clue has been posted at the Library," "The Library is closing at 5 pm due to winter weather," etc. Even if the library would begin twittering, it's important that we continue to use our traditional media outlets such as the newspaper and radio stations to keep our patrons informed.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. The whole point of all these new internet tools is not to replace the tried and true, but to reach a new audience. But just as important, don't lose the audience you already have.
