If ever a service was aptly named, it is Twitter.
When you sit near a flock of house sparrows in early Spring, the sounds of the throng are both cheerful and annoying. Try to identify the song of one bird. It's almost impossible to discern one voice. Perhaps they all have a vocabulary of different sounds. Or it could merely be 75 Johnny-One-Notes chirping at random intervals. It is layered, intense - even competitive. And so like Twitter.
Twitter is a whole world of users talking at once. Who can absorb it? Who wants to?
The service has undoubted value for marketers and projects to raise public awareness, which is what the Library's Twittering is all about.
Personally, I can't imagine subjecting myself to this nattering network. I simply don't give a sweet Tweet.
