This week I posted my first tweet on Twitter. I have been an aspiring Twitter user since 2009. Learning 2.1 has encouraged me to open an account and I am a little pleased with myself for finally taking up the challenge!
I am following a number of feminist tweets as well as Mosman Library and Camden Council. I think the idea of Councils posting tweets to ratepayers has put the fun into local government :) I also like the readers suggestions at Mosman Library. It opens up the public library to a more divergent community.
Here is a link to me @AMoodiLibrarian below:

As I don't have an iphone nor internet access at home I don't imagine I will use Twitter for anything other than posting tweets about the Family History desk :) I promise to keep you updated on our historical happenings...

Hi Anne!
Ah, I have a love/hate relationship with twitter. I'm interested in its uses for libraries, and I am one of the people who posts for ours @boroondaralib, but the 'no one cares what you had for lunch' statement is especially true of Twitter.
Mine is @susannenewton
Cheers,
Susanne
Hi Susanne,
Thanks for posting. I'm more of the school of thought: no one cares what you had for lunch...unless they want the recipe. I like Twitter for its succint nature but I dislike it for digital information overload.
