I watched the YouTube video on Twitter and then signed up, I don't really think I would use Twitter that much, I would rather use Facebook to keep up with friends and I like RSS feeds for keeping up to date with things that interest me such as books and music. I would prefer to keep up to date with current events by visiting the NZ Herald website or Yahoo news as they are regularly updated.
Whenever I put keywords in the search box on Twitter for subjects I was interested in it often came up with no results so it was difficult to find things (I probably just need to explore twitter a bit more to get the hang of it). I have added a some twitter accounts to follow and I also linked my Blogger account with my Twitter account.
I don't see the point in posting everything little thing that you do in your personal life or following every little thing that a friend does in their everyday life, it is more interesting to follow famous people or to keep updated with the latest news on books or music. Twitter seems to be just another way for many people or companies to advertise their businesses for free so you are bombarded with ads like many of the other social networking sites such as Facebook. Libraries could of course use Twitter to let library patrons know what's happening at their local library.
