Book Bird

The thing about Twitter is that it has a tendency to turn into mental vomit. I'm not really a huge fan of this particular means of social networking. Of course, it's such a popular site that it seems kind of difficult to manage things without it. I have found several authors with accounts and I think Twitter is a good way of keeping up with their latest projects. I Know how excited some people can get about upcoming books so it's always good to keep up with what people are doing. I also like the idea of using Twitter as a means of communicating with students. I think that if communications can be opened between librarians and teachers then twitter could possibly be used to pass along possible research ideas or sites that might be helpful. It might also make a good way to let teachers know about some aids they could use in their classrooms. Overall, I may not like the idea of mental vomit on the web, but I do think that Twitter could be a handy tool in a library. I will probably continue to use it and develop my skills with it so that I can make Twitter a powerful tool for information in my future library.
