Moving through the 23 Things

I have a little catching up to do. I've moved on to thing number 10, but forgot to comment about my experience with Twitter. I've been using Twitter for several months. It is a nice break in the middle of the day to catch of glimpse of what others are doing. And at least one of the folks on who are on my list of friends recommends excellent articles and podcasts. Another person sends opening sentences from books with links to more information about the book. My list of books that I want to read has grown significantly!

I find Twitter useful as a way of networking (I really dislike that word!), but not high pressure networking. Several months ago, I found Twitter to be a useful way to meet people at a conference where I didn't know anyone.

How would it be used in a library setting? I am still thinking about how it can be used for outreach as well as how it might improve communication internally. I look forward to hearing from others about possible uses for Twitter in libraries.
