Twitter Has a New Version

I logged online this morning and read my Google Reader,

something I now do almost everyday!

I discovered a posting from Resource Shelf,

informing me that Twitter has changed its design.

I felt this was excellent timing since I need to do 

a final blog on my Twitter experience this week!

But when I went on my twitter page, 

it looked the same.

So what has changed?

I checked out the website posted to learn 

more about the changes.

fly.twitter.com

The two minute video showed a home screen 

that I do not possess.

I was confused.

But then I read further down the story & 

I discovered that the new version will not show

on my computer for a while.

But if you have Twitter on iPhone or Twitter for Android, 

you will see the new version today.

I found my old Twitter account a couple days ago. 

I had started one for a different library class.

I had two tweets 

because I did not find Twitter interesting:-0

I never found my sister and niece on Twitter,

even though both are supposed to have an account.

If I keep using Twitter I am going to have to find out

their usernames. 

I want to thank everyone that followed me, 

especially Sandra.

She responded a couple times 

when I was feeling pretty overwhelmed.

I deleted about half of those that I am following,

just in case I want to check back at some point.

I do not want to be overwhelmed by a

bunch of new tweets.

Okay, now to the questions I am supposed to be answering!

I found Twitter boring as all get out for the most part.

When I actually interacted with someone

it was much more interesting.

I do not do news. 

I do not read the news.

I do not watch the news.

Twitter is like the news on the web.

Did I mention that I do not do the news?

I did find it easy to find the people

on my professor's list.

But I could not find my own sister...

I started following my fellow students

because I wanted to see what they posted

and I appreciated them following me!

I followed the Smithsonian Library

because it was a library

and I have an interest in Smithsonian.

Children's Literacy started following me

and I find the topic interesting,

so I followed them back.

I do not see any use I have for Twitter

at this point.

If I worked in a library I can see 

how this would be a way of 

connecting with patrons

that were following us.

I feel like I should be more positive

but I really feel that Twitter is not for me!
