chirping on about twitter

I suppose the first thing about signing up for a twitter account was the number of people I knew who were members already compared to other social networking sites I had explored. Some of the comments are quite mundane and boring that people post.

I can see how it can be used as a business networking tool or for marketing purposes since a company could build up a large following for a particular brand and then exploit this customer loyalty to launch a new product.

Twitter could be used by the library to inform people about recent developments and contains links to the relevant sources. The only disadvantage I see of the library using twitter is that it has to be constantly updated to keep people interested. The other point to note is that twitter works really efficiently if people use their phones constantly. This could result in the library staff being inundated with an avalanche of tweets from followers.
