I might actually start using Twitter for library business. It would be a good way to let students know about availability at the HHC, to remind about upcoming gaming...just off the top of my head.
On a personal level though, I'm not sure I get it. I can imagine ways to use the service. It's a very efficient way to make announcements. But this seems like a prime example of finding ways to use a technology that nobody needs instead of developing a technology to meet an existing need. I've read blogs from a number of people who are very positive about Twitter. It seems like an acquired taste: about a month to really get into it and see the value. I don't think it's worth that much personal investment, outside of the social pressure to be that connected. My feeling is this: if I want to talk to friends, I'll call them and have a conversation. If I want to have a conversation with lots of friends, I'll have a party. I don't know the last time I thought to myself: I wish I could tell something to everyone I know right now.
