Twitter

Well I never thought it would happen, I have a Twitter account. Of all the technologies and ways to connect with people Twitter is the one form that I have resisted. I can't say that I am really a fan of the "lets publish my every thought for everyone else to read" phenomenon.
However despite my personal feelings about this particular information stream I am trying to positive about its use. I conducted several searches of Twitter for library related information and tags and whilst I did find some, and a few that were even worth looking at, I can't honestly say that I find Twitter to be of use.
Compared to Facebook and blogs, Twitter in my opinion is limited. As I said above I am not a fan of the way Twitter works with one off thoughts posted here there and everywhere. In comparison Facebook and blogs give greater control over information and the ability to 'discuss' topics and information.
As part of my search of Twitter I also stopped in on the tweets of some celebrities and I have to say that if my life is far to hectic and full of my own excitement to consume myself with an inane thought that a celebrity may have had, so I quickly moved on.
The internet has produced far better social interactive sites then Twitter and I would say that once Web 2.1 is finished my Twitter account with never tweet again. On that note if you want to see my tweets before they end go to http://twitter.com/klt1981
