Blogging is one thing, but tweeting is another. Using Twitter is a step into the world between blogs and instant messaging. It's quite interesting to see how technology provides users with more tools to refine their communication skills. Tweeting definitely encourages you to be concise and to the point.
People tweet about all sorts of subjects. Often they are just reporting their moods or their whereabouts to friends. Sometimes they tweet about bigger subjects to start a conversation with users they may not personally know.
I can see tweeting being a useful tool for libraries- for instance, I am on a committee that is investigating how to add instant messaging to our library system. Instead of email or IM sessions, tweeting back and forth could have its advantages during the day when working on assignments.
My Twitter account has been started- I'll try to tweet more soon.
