Twitter

This site seems to me to be an extension of Instant Messaging. To be honest, I don't see its use in the personal realm, but it could be used by the library to send broadcasts to staff. That, of course, assumes we would all have access to text messaging or a computer most of the day.

I "found" Susan Lee, Shirlee, and Kara. Two of the three were private, so I guess Twitter sent a request to them so I could follow. I did set up an account, but do not have the time or interest to gather my friends into a group. As it is I have five email accounts, three of which are for work. I do not text message, and see no plans to pick up on that in the future.

This site is great for kids who have all the time in the world to send answers to "What are you doing now?" As an adult with a few jobs and many other responsibilities, this site seems superfulous.
