Twitter. 'Nuff said.

Who names these things? The premise of Twitter reminds me of my 4 year old neighbor who asks anyone walking by her house "What are you doing?" or "Where are you going?" or "Why?" (It's a pretty safe street) In KRL Twitter posts, most people indicated that they were finishing up their KRL2.0 assignments and what a collective sense of relief ! Is Twitter like IM-ing, but with a bigger group?
Many of the assignments have been fun, useful, and mind-opening (and boggling?) but I am a little dismayed at how much time, potentially, one could sit in front of a screen!
Library uses for Twitter, for the people who would "subscribe", could offer up to the minute updates on changing conditions, new material, or even or even "write bites" (as opposed to sound bites) on what our jobs entail. Nuff said. What are YOU doing?
