2.0 Twitter

So the question for this post is "Armed with a bit of knowledge about what Twitter is all about, share your thoughts on this fast growing online phenomenon." OK so it is not really a question but I'll share my thoughts anyway. So to be honest it is not something that I would ever use. While I don't mind getting the occasional text I really don't need to be getting updates every five seconds. If there is something I want an update on it is easy enough to look up without having to get tweets all the time. That being said I could see that it might be good for a company to connect with it's employees if they do not work in the same location. All in all I think that it is mostly used by people to simply say random things about their day. It can be used creatively but most of the stuff on there is gossip and I don't really feel that people need another way to gossip. Sorry about the negativity. See you next post.

2.0 Library Thing

I'm jumping right into the question this week. "Was the site user-friendly? Did you find it difficult to navigate?" The site was pretty user-friendly. I had no real issues trying to navigate it and the tour gave a decent rundown of the services offered. It seems like a really good site if you are interested in reading or posting reviews on books. It is also a great way to find new books to read. I'm keeping this post short so that's all for now.
