I signed up for Twitter in order to follow some public libraries to see how they are using this technology. Since it takes me forever to text, (my phone is a dinosaur and the number 7 sticks) I am viewing messages from my computer alone. "Tweets" from Scranton, PA, Orange County, FL, Ann Arbor, MI, and Casa Grande libraries publicize their upcoming programs, promote Summer Reading, provide brief book reviews, and give fun and interesting facts for the day. This is a fast, timely way to keep patrons updated on library happenings. Although microblogging is fairly new, each of these libraries have several hundred followers. A very efficient way to reach hundreds of patrons in just seconds!
