I thought I would quickly go in and edit the rss feed on my twitter account to that it was accurately displaying both my tweets and those of the people I am following. For some reason, twitter is not giving me that feed without asking for authentication. I get a pop-up asking for my user name and password and it keeps on asking me for my user name and password in the same little pop-up window, ad infinitum. Even tryin g to cancel the intended action takes a couple of times. So I have given up (at least temporarily), and am just showing the last three tweets that only I have written, as opposed to the combined list of tweets from me and those who I am following. Bummer. But mostly right now I am starved, having been lying in bed on a Sunday morning for two hours now. breakfast time.

BTW, if anyone reading this has suggestions for what I need to do to get a Twitter feed for the me and the friends I am following, please let me know. Grazie.

You’ll notice that I have added a twitter feed to my blog, but I do so with ambivalence. On one hand I think that it is utterly adsurd that I would spend the time to update for anyone to read, what I am doing in the moment. I mean, who really cares?

But then again, I have lately been reading about people who seem to have similiar technology interests to mine who use twitter (those who tweet? I don’t even know the language yet). I have read about people who find Twitter to be a useful tool rather than an amusing time-waster, so I figured I should try it to see if I am missing anything valuable.  I don’t figure that I will be adding all that much, but I am curious to read the tweets of others who I am following.

On with the experiment.

Twitter for Librarians: The Ultimate Guide | College@Home

i have wondered about the usefulness of Twitter for something other than a novel way to waste time out of an already busy day. Part of me would like to start to use it (because of course, I did create an account), but so far I haven’t been moved enough to do so. I am open to finding useful applications, so this article on using Twitter in the library seemed definitely worth the read.
