Flittering with Twitter

In starting this exercise, I made the mistake of using an e-mail address in which I don't keep any contacts, so initially finding friends was somewhat difficult. Although it was easy to type a short message in the box, other aspects were not quite so easy.

When I was out of the country over Thanksgiving, I did hear about people using Twitter for citizen journalism in the Mumbai crisis. And to provide info as to their safety.

What am I doing? I'm sitting at a reference desk on a quiet afternoon, working with this 2.0 application. It could be used for reference or targeting quick messages to library customers, including PR. But first the library needs some friends.
