I’m the lead in the article "Psst! Are you Twittering yet"
Michael Sauers, technology innovation librarian at the Nebraska Library Commission, uses Twitter, a free message-routing and social-networking tool, to communicate with colleagues and spread the word about his organization’s reference service. He encourages others to check out Twitter for themselves — but don’t ask him to describe it.
“People are always asking me to explain it to them, and there really is no good way to do that,” Sauers said.
“My best answer is that it’s a mix between e-mail and chat, where you get the benefits of the group without requiring the group to be there all the time.”
I’m not 100% sure I’m happy with the characterization, but it is what I said.
