This afternoon I joined Twitter! My username is Gloria Miller@swikmiller, so readers of my blog can follow me. I'm only currently following three people: my son (who hasn't tweeted in 6 months), my media/technology instructor and a friend from church. I had the option of adding friends from my yahoo mail account, but that hasn't been weeded in years. I couldn't tell from the pop-up if I was going to be allowed to be selective in my choices of who to follow, so I opted out of that choice. I did search for various library/education related twitter accounts to follow. One of the seven high schools in my school district has an active twitter account. My school has a twitter account also, but it hasn't been used in almost four years. I have not downloaded Twitter to my mobile phone--I've blown up my data usage this past month and have to investigate unlimited date usage first. Am I catching up with technological advances or are they catching up with me? Stay tuned.
I know that twitter is all the rage among high-school age students; the question is whether they will follow a school or public library. Harris County Public Library has a tween twitter account and my local branch, Freeman Library, has its own twitter. I will investigate and perhaps follow as I become more comfortable with 'tweeting'.
