MLIS 7505: LIS folks NEED to be on Twitter

I was never really a Twitter guy.  However, after deciding that Facebook was becoming more taxing and annoying than anything else, I turned to Twitter. I originally turned to Twitter a few years back to aggregate news and follow my favorite sports teams. This time I decided to connect with LIS professionals and its been a MUCH better experience.  You can regularly find tweets and discussions related to all things LIS.  Also, there are regular discussion hashtags, such as #libchat, that provide a forum for constructive and helpful insights into the field.  Utilizing Twitter in this manner allows for filtering out a lot of the noise and fluff on Twitter and turning it into a professional resources and forum.
