Twitter - What a twit

Most of the tutorials in 2.0 have been informative as an overview of the particular Thing. My first thought was that I don't really want to know when I call and ask someone "What are you doing?" I really mean, "Are you too busy to talk?" As I first looked at the site, one of the suggested tweets to follow was John Edwards -- seriously???! When I searched for library, I found there are some interesting things going on in libraries. Besides the usual reading, studying, sleeping , there seems to be drug deals, bad breath, hiding out, and a suggestion for a blacklight Rave. Apparently librarians are "Hot, interesting, not killers, no longer books only, and not very helpful" (perhaps the last is due to too many drug deals). I thought the USU Revolutionary War reenactment was a fantastic, creative way to use Twitter. I especially liked the links to the blogs to flesh out the tweets. The article about using Twitter in libraries included daily/weekly tweets to keep followers informed about upcoming events and new materials. It suggested tweets with links to wiki spaces and websites. I know our new district (Canyons) is pushing for a higher level of technology use -- Twitter included. I know the superintendent frequently tweets -- I should probably look at following him. I would be interested in using Twitter to stay linked to the people I have met in this class -- they are such a great resource, I would hate to give up this contact.
