Tweet, Tweet, Tweet! (Rockin' Robin...)

I signed up to follow my Alma Mater (MSU) , Edinburgh libraries just for fun, The Unquiet Library, and American Libraries. It seems to me, most of these link thru from Twitter to interesting things on their blogs, kind of like one sentence advertising. I do find the "teaser" sentences intriguing half of the time, and want to go and find out more at their blogs, but mostly they are not posts that are a separate entity, which is part of what I thought twitter was about... Although it probably is effective, and if the one sentence does not appeal to you, you don't have to follow the link. We could use this same strategy at our library, I am sure, such as promoting our spring book sale that is coming up here soon or in listing Young Adult titles that sound interesting. (Maybe one a day, say for no-screen week... Hmmm.)

Nice job. You've officially completed the Twitter assignment. I'd appreciate it if you stuck around until the end of the assignment, following and interacting with other classmates. Some have just started in the last day or two.
