I have set up twitter and link it in with my Google Reader. I have seen a few presentations done by Michael Stephens and discovered that he was "twittering" so I am "following" him which basically means when I check my Google reader which isn't everyday I get spammed with a whole lot of small messages. I know twittering seems to be setting America on fire but I don't know many people who would be interested in twittering in a personal way. Maybe we could try it out as a group and see if it really as exciting as the media is making it out to be. I listened to a podcast one of our fellow student mentioned on the radio and I can see that once you have an established User community it could be an excellent way to broadcast messages to interested people. I guess a library could use it as a way to remind people they have an overdue book rather than a letter or email, or to publicize events and activities they might be planning. It could even work for a bookclub where people may not be able to make a meeting as such..

Further investigating is revealing a lot more information about the hype of Twitter and its classification as a Help Engine. For more information have a read of this article..
