You can lead a reader to feeds, but can you make them tweet?
Libraries using Twitter?
Yea or nay?
I'm thinking yea. Twitter has the benefit of being quick (who of your patrons isn't experiencing a time crunch) and concise; you HAVE to get your point across in 140 characters.
Timely Tweets re: spaces available or programs filled can definitely make your library communications more succinct.
As for RSSFeeds; I love 'em. If you read feeds from useful sites; you can catch up quickly with updated content (as can your patrons); rather than having to visit each blog post.
RSS Feeds - easy to install; usually because there is a widget that does it for you.
ReplyDeleteTwitter -- already have an account and followers; I like it; but don't tweet very often; probably use it more to read quickly updated information.
