Wht the Twitter? #9

#9 of the 23 things is to sign up for a Twitter account and blog about your Twitter experience. Okay, I am not excited about Twitter. First off I don't think it is very useful. What is it? This is from the Twitter FAQ: "It is a community of friends and strangers from around the world sending updates about moments in their lives." You can send messages by text message, the twitter site or Instant message. Okay, so what? I can't think of any reason to use it. How would this social software help in a library? My answer: I don't know????? It seems to be another way for people to expose themselves to strangers worldwide. Just because it's one of the Web 2.0 23 things does not mean it is useful. Besides, people need to be careful on how much information they submit over the web.
