Twitter in Libraries

For a good explanation of how Twitter may be applicable in libraries (and I'm not so sure it really is, at least not in a substantive way), check out the iLibrarian's Guide to Twitter in Libraries.  Pretty much everything you want to know is right there.  Kudos to iLibrarian's author, Ellyssa Kroski.

Sorry to be such a sour puss, but I'm still not sure about Twitter.  It's too much for my brain.  Too much to read, too much to remember (updating), and who really cares what I'm doing moment to moment? What I've found is that most of the people in my Twitter-verse use it to share articles and resources, ask for assistance, and very few actually use it to update others on their activities.   But maybe that's just because I know a bunch of nerds (and I don't use that word negatively--calm down Twitter-friends).     I find that RSS, wikis, blogs, email, and IM work pretty well for all of my information and socialization needs, and perhaps for me, Twitter is solving a problem that just isn't there.
