Thing 27 Twitter

The twitter tool is all about communicating quickly. Libraries are about information storage and sharing. So twitter could be used to post information, but I am not sure what kind. Here is a concise summary, "Twitter is a microblogging tool, an alerting system, a type of IM, a social network, a status updating tool like IM away messages, a conversation, and more. For librarians, it appears destined to be an essential conference tool as well as a personal productivity tool that can be used for creating to-do lists, tracking bug fixes, brainstorming with colleagues, and generally keeping in touch with friends."
