Tweet Tweet

I never thought of Twitter as a microblog until I did this week in web 2.1. I always aligned it with Facebook and considered it a 'status' update-which in my mind was different to a blog, although now I see where the lines are crossing.

I have signed up for twitter, but I don't think it is something I will use because I don't like the character restrictions. Also in relation to the character restriction; I found it difficult to understand what some messages were saying. So far... not a fan of microblogging!

I can see libraries making use of twitter for events updates, new book release notifications and public announcements but I think the character restriction could make relaying information difficult to understand for some library user groups.

Blogging since 2.0

Since completing 2.0 I have to admit I still am not a regular blogger nor do I mass blog.
This isn't because I do not like blogging, it is more that I find I do not have the time to commit to entering my thoughts online.

I enjoy reading brand blogs and piggyback blogs on current topics and this is something I do quite frequently. Since I don't do much blogging myself starting web 2.1 is very exciting because it will get me back into blogging things!
