Okay so now I belong to Twitter! (username: kmcgin5151) I don't really have a burning need for it at this time of my life but I will certainly give it a fair shake.
I searched for and found some people that I know. Not much really posted by them. Also, my school does not tweet as of yet. At first, I was a little confused when I saw a bunch of tweets come up for things I did not choose to follow. Then I saw the small print that these are suggested posts based on who I chose to follow and what they were following. Interesting!
It seems most useful for those that have their own business and can use this to promote it or to send out professional ideas or information. I always thought that the perfect use for Twitter is by food trucks. They can tweet out exactly where they are located on any given day/hour and their loyal followers can find them. I think it would be good for actors, dancers, and musicians as they perform at different locations. They can advertise any last minute events or changes.
I enjoyed discovering the funny things posted by people such as "funny or die" and comedians' various posts.
I can really see a librarian having fun with tweeting as he/she promotes events and new books.
I am honestly not sure how much I will tweet personally but professionally I can see me doing this when I become a librarian. It's quick and easy.
I plan to play around more and see what else I can discover. I like how you can customize in privacy settings like Facebook or Pinterest.
