Because I already have a Facebook account, I decided to try out Twitter. It's easy to get on to, and even though none of my contacts were on Twitter, I followed a few of the 'suggested users,' one of which was a cat named Sockington. I can see how this could be entertaining as long as it didn't get too intrusive, but apparently there are ways to silence twitter when you do not wish to be disturbed (although I could not find this feature on my page).
I can actually see our library using this tool for last minute messages, such as when the library is closing at lunch time, reminding users when we're going to summer hours, or informing them of any special events in the library.
I also checked out the Facebook pages for the University of Illinois and Georgia Tech. One of them has zero posts to the wall and one has not been updated for over a year. Perhaps this tool is not suited to library use, or maybe these libraries did not market their page enough?
