Thing 12 Twitter

Well, I have a Twitter account with the name of "lbailey695" I've located a few people through the search, but most I've found are through others' followers. I found David Warlick and a couple of librarians that way. There's a few on my followings that don't have anything posted. So, I guess there's lots of us just starting out. I'd love some suggestions as to library leaders to follow.

I love the PR that Denton ISD Libraries is posting. I really want to start something like that for our libraries. Several school districts have twitter accounts I see.

I've set up my cell phone and will see how that works out. Last week I started following the local performers twitter because it was raining. They never tweeted about whether the concert would still go at 7:00 after it rained, but I've gotten lots of other tweets from them this week about their nightly concerts. Interesting way to spread the word without lots of expense.

And I even put the twitter gadget on this blog. It is puzzling to me how you have to try several times to get those gadgets posted or attached. About the time I'm ready to give up, the same steps work and tah dah, it's there. Not sure if a tweet on your blog is to any advantage, but what the hay...
