Week 3 is almost gone and I finally managed to get on twitter and send a 'tweet'! I must say it was a bit confusing for me and I had to watch that video at least twice but I got there in the end.
However, I'm inclined to be honest and say that I don't think all the customers would find Twitter a handy tool. It looks like any other social networking site and I can see the potential it has, particularly with the younger patrons, but I'm not sure of the whole concept of it will be too much for the other older patrons.
I'm not sure if using Twitter in the workroom is a good idea but there's no harm for it to be available for the customers to use and tweet to their friends on the Learn.net.
Using Twitter for library promotions and events is a good idea as we'll be able to catch those younger kids and teenagers.
I'm not sure if I personally will be using Twitter that frequently as we all have busy lives and even busier jobs, but if and when I do get a moment I might just check it out once in a while to see what good ol' Manukau Libraries have got up their sleeve!!
All in all I'm sure it won't hurt to promote Twitter to customers and it's up to them if they want to join or not, isn't it? Twitter is just another way of meeting and keeping in touch with friends!!

Twitter is definitely not everyone's cup of tea :) So your persistence is to be commended. Twitter is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I know that I love both the so-called 'trivial' chatter and the informative, business type tweets. The odd, seemingly random message can sometimes serve as a moment of much needed light relief. If you truly don't like Twitter then now's probably a good time to tell you that you can delete your account now :)
