Micro blogs
1. Write a “Dear
Twitter” letter, in which you tell Twitter how you feel about it. What do you
think about Twitter as an information source? How might you use it in your
personal or professional life? What misgivings do you have?
Dear twitter
I’m sure you’re a very great way for people to stay in touch
with their friends and family from all over the world. However I just can’t
seem to be bothered with using my own twitter account ; don’t get me wrong I think your great , even
I occasionally check my twitter to see how my favorite celebrities are doing. I
just don’t think that I have anything worth saying , sure I could post silly things
like what I ate for breakfast or what I’m watching on T.V. that moment. Maybe someday
I’ll get with the program and start using you. If I were to ever get a job as a
library tech in a public library you would be a great way to give patrons up to
the minute information about what’s going on with our library.
Sincerely Still
on the fence.
2. Comment on the five library Twitter
accounts in the previous activity. How are these libraries using Twitter? Are
they well-followed? Are there any ideas you find particularly interesting?
I felt that all of these blogs were very well
done. For the most part they all seemed to be very well followed. I liked how Vancouver’s
public libraries page was trying to promote public awareness about banned books
week.
3. If you already
have a Twitter account, discuss your experiences with it. Do you use it often?
Do you use it to connect with friends or groups and organizations? What do you
like and dislike about Twitter?
I do have a twitter account, however the only thing a use it
for is to follow my favorite celebrity’s. I don’t really have any complaints
with twitter; I’m just not overly amazed with it.
