What do you think about using one of these microblogging tools?
I am excited to learn more about using Twitter. I had never had an account before because, honestly, I didn't really understand it. I like the idea of following a few people and forming a community. I was scared that I would get overwhelmed by all the information, but it was good advice to take in what you can and leave the rest.
Did you find it easy to find people to follow, especially after a list of examples was given?
I did find it really easy to find people to follow. The list of librarians on twitter made it really easy to find people that could share valuable information with me.
Who are three people or organizations you starting following this week and why did you follow them? Have you found their posts helpful?
I have started to follow erniec. He is a teacher and librarian and his tweets are helpful becuase he tweets about new things he has found to help students. For example, he just tweeted about a new way to search for creative common images that I had never heard of before. I also started following sljournal and they post really useful information. One of my favorite tweets what the best books for 2011 - Top Ten. There were some books on there that I am eager to read!
What kinds of uses do you see you might have for microblogging? Have you already found some uses for it?
I think it would be interesting to continue to follow educational twitter-ers. I could also see it as a way to communicate with patrons of the library. The librarian could announce new books that have come in, tweet about a favorite author, ect.
