I already had a twitter account, but purely for personal reasons. I had set it up to follow announcements for my son's high school. The same week I did that, my husband found an article in a travel magazine about tweets to great travel deals, so I started following some of those sights. I don't tweet with my friends so much. I guess I use it more for information.
I chose to follow some other library's that I found on Heather Braum's site. One being the New York public library. I also chose the Kansas City Public library to try and keep up with what is going on in the big city. I am also following Heather. She follows Michael Yon, a journalist imbedded with troups in Afghanistan. I am following him too. My husband served two tours their and my brother will be on his way their shortly, so I try to keep up with what is happening their. I found Michael's tweets interesting. I would primarily use this site for information for myself or to share with colleges. In the future I might set one up for my library for my patron's to follow. I would really like to set up a blog for the library, but it is just finding the time. I think it would be a very good summer project : )

I'm sure Heather loves having the followers! She's here in my office and sends out links to library-related articles all the time.
