Twying to twitter

Twitter was OK to sign up with but diabolical when I tried to figure out how to send a tweet. I even googled instructions and went on youtube to get help, but in the end realised I was getting tied up with the language, and it was really quite easy in the end. Although I didn't trust I had done it right until I saw my emails the next day.
I chose Stephen Fry and Margaret Atwood to follow. I quickly had more tweets than I ever wanted to see from Stephen Fry, and could see that Margaret Atwood was using twitter to communicate with the students in her class, rather than say anything profound, although that is a bit of a snap judgement on my part.
I can see that twitter could be a good discussion tool for staff who can hardly ever get together for meetings, although email can do this too. I guess Manukau Libraries would probably use this in the same way as a blog, to promote things, and to discuss books. I might recommend it to people who wanted to follow the thoughts of their favourite authors or movie stars, but it wouldn't be a daily sort of thing I don't think. And I doubt I'll continue with it - just not enough hours in the day...
