Thing 4 - Pt 1 Twitter

I set up a twitter account a couple of years ago after a Phil Bradley talk at the Library Show but after one tweet I didn't do anything else with it as was so busy. It was good to go back and explore Twitter again. I have changed a few things on my profile and added a photo, followed a few Library groups and looked at some @CPD23 tweets. I don't know if it something I will use regularly but I will try and look at it from time to time. I think the problem with all these internet developments is that you end up with so many places to look for information. I do suffer from a bit of Information overload!

The Library I work in did try using Twitter but we didn't find that the students were following or using it that much. Having a Facebook group seemed much more popular with students but then the College took a decision to ban Facebook on the College computers so we had to scrap that idea. I wonder how other FE Colleges have got on with using Twitter to promote information to students?
