Howdy PALNI people,

I've recently learned a bit about the "microblogging" application called Twitter and I thought I'd ask to see what your thoughts on the application are. My understanding is that the central idea is to keep your posts limited to 140 characters or so, ensuring brief posts about what "one is doing". Such updates can be made not only from the Web, but from one's IM application and phone as well. At a recent conference I met a fellow librarian who has found an interesting use for Twitter.

Is anyone using Twitter, and if so, for what purpose? What are the implications for collaboration among professional peers as opposed to serving your patrons?

Thanks,
Edward from Marian
