Twitter

I have mixed feelings about Twittering -- to me it is just a way for people to tell everyone what they are doing and to me it is kind of boring. To be able to go in and read about someone doing their laundry, what they are eating, where they are shopping and so forth is pointless. I think it would benefit libraries to use it when it comes to new books, new movies or anything like that, patrons can express their opinions and feelings on the material so others know if it was good/bad/okay and if want to check it out or not. It would be interesting to see what the different patrons would put. I personally do not have a Twitter account and probably won't. With Twittering we get away from having the one on one contact with people. Sometimes there are people that take their Twittering a little too far and get really personal -- that is something some people don't need to know about. If people want to do it then it is fine with me, I am not criticizing it, just not interested in doing it.
