Task 21 - Twitter

A friend who works at QUT library was raving about Twitter last year but mostly from a social point of view but that's something I can live without.

I can see it has its uses, especially with breaking news events, eg the protests against the election results in Iran. I don't know about the technicality of blocking tweets but at least it cuts out barriers such as having to have access to a computer and web browser.

This Guardian article is a good one - Making the Most of Twitter

It would be interesting to see how libraries are using Twitter and the take up of library tweets.
