The “human search engine” aspect of Twitter can’t be overlooked, and it is one of the reasons I follow you and another librarian

I also use Twitter as my own personal RSS aggregator of sorts. I track keywords and while I often get to busy (or just forget) to check my Google Reader, my iPhone is always with me and makes it easy to quickly scan a lot of relevant info that I otherwise would have missed.

very handy! I like twitter for troubleshooting-with-other-librarians during the work day, and keeping up with friends / former students as well. Plus finding out what’s going on at Midwinter in a tweet-by-tweet.

I agree, Stephanie! Twitter makes it easy to follow along at conferences if you aren’t there, and makes them more meaningful if you are!
