I just finished setting up my Twitter account. I have got to confess that I was trying to stay away from this social site, but alas I joined the bandwagon and took the leap. I can certainly see the benefits of using this microblog as a communication and networking platform. It is fun, quick, and painless. As with most networking sites, people and organizations can communicate ideas and information or promote causes, products, etc. Setting up the account was a breeze and I really liked that you can follow and communicate with anyone without having to deal with friend requests.
As an educator and library science student, I want to have as many opportunities to expand my professional knowledge base. Since I created a Twitter account I could not think of a better way to get started than by following some of the most respected names in education technology and library media specialists. Take a look at what they are posting.
