I was a bit of a Twitter sceptic and came to it with a number of misconceptions. Admittedly, I had no
previous experience of it on which to base an opinion. Completing this week's 'thing' now means I am much more clued up.
I have opened my Twitter account, made my first tentative 'tweet' and reflected on the usefulness of this communication tool. I'll be using Twitter for news updates: keeping abreast of what's happening in the library world and for sharing news and ideas.
I'm pleased to have Google reader as part of my Google account. RSS feeds will also be useful for updates. However, I will to be selective in what I subscribe to. With so much possible reading material out there, the prospect of information overload looms large.
Someone will need to convince me about Pushnote. I liked Stephen Fry's cheery demonstration on the website, but how is giving something a star rating useful in a professional context? I daresay it might just be my ignorance. I have not signed up and will hold judgement on this one.
