Twitter and RSS feeds

This is week 4 of the "23 things for Professional Development" course. We are now looking at Twitter and RSS feeds and a thing called "Pushnote", which I can't use as it's not supported by Internet Explorer. Never mind.

I've been using RSS feeds for quite some time now. Find them extremely handy to keep up with websites. A very useful tool for the busy OPL.

As for Twitter... mmmhh... here in the Academic & Special Libraries Section of the LAI we've been using it for a number of years now as part of our outreach activities. Some committee members are more active than others. I personally am not really a Twitterer (is that the noun used?) - it's really a question of time and technology. You do need a smart phone with Internet access. Mine is of the ancient clan of "only phones and texts":) Also find it very hard to keep to the word limit...
