Funny how we all had similar ideas – maybe Twitter warrants all the hype after all. Except that I think they need more processing power – if the twitter.com servers are lagging, our homepage is slower to load. Hmm.

Thanks for the great idea! I’ve not really investigated Twitter before, but looked into it for this breaking news aspect. This past weekend we had to close unexpectedly for HVAC repair, and the Twitter was a great way to keep them everyone updated!

I especially like the blank message idea, which is what you’ll find if you visit the site now.

Thanks!

I had a similar idea for solving some of the communications issues we have with our large consortium… but using the OPAC instead of (or really, in addition to) the homepage.

Here’s what we did… http://bit.ly/AVqiE and here, too: http://bit.ly/16EIPz

Now I’m thinking of cool ways to do something similar to give our individual libraries a way to use this with their library Twitter accounts to promote their local info/events.

Fun stuff!

I have the same level of interest in Twitter as you, but this is a brilliant use of the service. Nice work!

How cool! It would be a great way to let people know that a new book can be put on hold now that it is on order, or in processing. Or to let people know that a publication date changes–people would know that Book XYZ won’t really be released in May, the date has been moved to August. You could even list the site where the information was found, so that they can track the process if they want.
