I still haven’t got into twittering about myself, but we have started to tweet in the Library. We’re tweeting separately about Science/ Engineering topics and Arts topics. I’m finding that it’s good fun to do, very quick and easy and a great way to communicate ephemeral pieces of information. At the moment we don’t have a mechanism in place to judge how effective it is – I’d be interested to know from others who are twittering about their library how they measure this. We can’t just count “followers” as you can still read the tweets and even set up an RSS feed from them, without being a follower.
