Thing 27--Twitter

Well I kind of jumped ahead and decided to check out what Twitter is. I actually happened upon it by accident. I was reading our new staff connections newsletter about a workshop we have coming up "Reference in the Electronic Age Workshop". I wanted to check out the speaker's blog so I clicked on the link. On her blog she had a article about Twitter and I clicked on the link Other Places You Can Find Me and Twitter was one of the places so I clicked on it to see what it was all about. I decided I wanted to read more of what she had to say so I signed up for my own Twitter account so I could follow hers. When I loaded my Yahoo address book I discovered a friend of mine also had a Twitter account and I could follow her also. I also added Twitter as a RSS feed so now I think I did another "thing". I am not sure how much I would use twitter but it was kind of fun to set up and check out. I tried to set up my mobile phone by following the directions but no matter how many times I tried my registration would not go through. I think it is one of the setting on my wireless phone account that won't let me connect to twitter. Well I must have been doing something incorrectly when I tried this earlier because I just managed to register my phone using a different method. I just sent a message from my cell phone and it posted on my twitter page--way cool!!!! My url is http://twitter.com/katdew
