Week #7 Literally Social Twitter

I'm afraid that my reluctance to set up a Twitter account is part of what has slowed me down with achieving the tasks for Week 7.  I have finally got around to it and had a go - found people and things to follow and even tweeted, but not sure if I can really be bothered doing more.   I can see it could be useful, particularly with sharing sites etc with colleagues - but currently do that through slasanet. 
It took me a while but I finally found some colleagues - a bit like Facebook in that it was through others.  I also had a go shortening a website through Bit.ly and shared it.

In doing this though I was once again hit with the feeling that I don't really have anything particular to share or whether things I find would be useful to others.  I'll keep giving it more of a go over the next few weeks and see how I go. 

I am already familiar with librarything and shelfari and use them often to find resource lists and get book reviews/suggestions, but I don't have an account.  I must admit that Shelfari is one site I would like to investigate further.

Well, better get onto the next week's activity as time is ticking by!!

  1. lol well it's great that you gave it a go anyway. Twitter is definitely not for everyone and if you already have a more practical way to share and source content then I am all for sticking with what you like and what is best for you!
