Twitter : some initial thoughts

I'm afraid ... very afraid ... to enter the world of Twitter ... but try it I shall, just not today.

Thing 26 - Ning, redux

So I checked out Ning again and it was interesting to visit it again after using Facebook so much. Lots of similarities, sort of a "Facebook for MN Librarians", so to speak. I did post some photos of my lovely new library, added some "friends" and commented on a few postings. But really, Facebook is so slick (yes, yes, even after the horrible upgrade) that any other social networking (or in this case professional networking) type of site sort of pales in comparison. Ning is just, well, clunky compared to Facebook. Nonetheless, I do appreciate being able to share things with colleagues without the added friends that I have on Facebook. I can see that Ning could work nice as a transfer of ideas (or even a place to go for help!) between librarians and library systems. I may have to tuck it away in the back of my head as a go-to place for hard to answer questions ...
