Twitter and tweeting

Everywhere you seem to turn these days someone is talking or writing about twitter from movie stars to polictians. Up to now I have gone yawn yawn ho hum get a life. Have now completed my own twitter account and tweeted to Manukau Libaries, and signed up to lots of book related twitter sites.
Would I promote it? probably not
Would I use it again? probably not
Would our borrowers use it? Some might - but why not just use our library web site to prmote whats going on, although I do admit you would connect with people who follow blogs and the such like.

Zamzar - Week 2

Great site and very easy to use. Tried converting to and from PDF and word files all seemed to work fine. Would I use it again?? Probably on rare occasions in my work for a volunteer group when I have to send work I have done on my home computer with Microsoft Publisher and know the receipents don't have this software, would convert to PDF for them to be able to open.
Would promote this site to some customers - the only draw back I can see is that they would have to pay to open their email account (assuming they had one), this they may not wish to do.

Here we go again!!

Web 2 looks a bit more manageble this time around. Registered my blog and then realised had not written it up so here goes.

First off I would rather spend my spare time curled up somewhere comfy with a book in my hand rather than in front of a computer writing up blogs and reading what other people have to say.

Can't really see how I would use a blog in my current role, but as our jobs are changing at a great rate of knots who knows what is around the corner, am sure with the right promotion and advertising a blog promoting our services and books it would appeal to a certain section of our patrons.

Well until next time be cool and keep up with all those great books we have in our libraries.
Have had a wee peep at zamzar and it looks interesting.
