TWITT OR NOT TO TWITT?! / by baby bird

according to Mashable / social media "there are currently about 6 million registered Twitter users, which equates to around 3.8 percent of people on the Internet ().The research firm further projects that those numbers will double by the end of this year to 12.1 million users, and gap up another 50 percent in 2010 to bring the service to a total audience of roughly 18 million registered users."



Questions, questions, questions...

What information can I get on Twitter:

"NO tweeties... not writing naked today it's too cold! I'm in a white dressing gown - I look like a panicked snowman with a deadline! x" / Gok Wan; [Twitter]
or
"Sassoon project blog ‘Dream Voices’ now open http://bit.ly/9xelk9" / UL; [Twitter]

Choice - entirely up to me :D

What does Twitter want from me? (haven't find out jet)
But I think I'm getting addicted....


And now my question to you? how addicted to twitter are you?

What's on?

On contrary Google Calendar is very useful when it comes to public institutions like Library to advertise their upcoming events. I have seen it in many websites like galleries, concerts hall, museums ect.. and it's a great way to interact with others, simply you can view a list of upcoming meets exactly as if it were a printed meet sheet - works brilliant! It's also very easy use!
When it comes to private use I'm very sceptic. I find it utterly stupid that people display their lives online, they don't realise how easy it is to find out what they do, where they live, whats their name and even phone number... Anyone can see your calendar when you choose to keep it "public". I just wanted to indicated that too many information might lead other people for example to your house that could get robbed. So be smarter about what you share online. If given a choice, mark the calendar private or share it with specific people, not Globe. If you don't know how to privatize your Google Calendar - login to Google Calendar, click on Manage Calendars, find the Calendar you want to edit from your list and click "Shared: Manage Setting" - "Don't share with everyone". I'm going to stick to my old fashioned small pink diary (choose of the colour thanks to Amazon ;) !!)

Am I Late?!

Late like always; especially with things that I should keep up with! Time - this essential part of the measuring system used to sequence events is cruel towards me! Now it's time to speed up a bit and catch up with another 23thing that are awaiting for me! and the rest of you!! I'm very often reading some of your blogs, finding it very interesting!! It's a great way to feel inspired! I have to admit that you are doing a great job! Not only digging into Web 2.0 space but also expressing your feelings about it. Some of you are even trying to get deeper into Librarians behaviours, personalities and attitudes - it's great to discover what you think...

Are you free on Friday?

Are you free on Friday?

Doodle "easy scheduling" - jet another great thing to put on my "list of thing that I should use in the future". I would imagine it safes a time, makes meeting reachable for everyone but I can't picture myself to use it for public events in Library. Is more like a thing that I would use in every day life with friends. I used it to set a date for my friends to come and have a BBQ at my place, date are usually tricky for everyone. But we have manage to meet on Friday! If only my hairdresser know about Doodle would be great ;)
