Twitter is a simple way to communicate with your friends using very short (micro) posts about your everyday thoughts and activities. You have to stay under 140 characters so you need to be brief! Clive Thompson had an article about "How Twitter Creates a Social 6th Sense". He said that most users are between 18-27 years old. Thompson suggests that you need to personally experience this Twitter craze by trying it and doing it with friends.
How could Twitter be used in the library setting? I'm not sure that Twitter would be a good use of student time and district network time. It looks like a social network of personal events vs. a tool for doing research.
Personally, I think you need to have a lot of time on your hands to want to read all of the details about other people, even if they are your friends!
