Thing #35 Mini or micro blogging

Ah there goes my age again reminding me I don't like these sites that imply we can communicate perpetually with the online community - don't care what others are doing and I don't care to let them know what I'm doing! I set up an account in Twitter but didn't spend much time in there. I think I can see how it could be used in libraries and information services - eg for sending simple questions to reference desks and getting quick answers.
