Twitter for Librarians: The Ultimate Guide
Twitter is a tool that allows users to send instant messages and to social network via short messages, also known as micro-blogs. Users can create Twitter messages, more commonly called tweets, through their Twitter pages, IMs, Facebook accounts, emails or text messages from their mobile phones. Other users can subscribe to your Twitter profile and likewise, you can subscribe to theirs. For many, it’s a great way to stay in touch with friends, family and even complete strangers over the Web.
