Watch out Gwyneth Paltow...I officially joined Twitter! Actually, I joined right after this class began, but I was hanging low with it trying to figure out how it all worked. I am still trying to remember and get used to the different symbols and abbreviations used when tweeting and reading tweets. When I joined, I started following some of the real housewives from various Bravo shows. What a big mistake that was. I found the tweets really stupid, for lack of a better word. The tweets left me wondering why anyone would want to follow anything. As a result, I stepped away for about a week, unfollowed the people that I was following, and created a new list of people who I follow. Since then, so far, so good! You can follow my twitter feed @jgongoleski.
Who I'm currently following:
@kathygriffin--This is comedian Kathy Griffin's twitter account. I decided to follow her simply because I think she is funny!
@someecards--This is another humor site, which caught my eye because it said "you'll love not unfollowing us."
@photography--Photography is kind of a hobby for me, so I thought I would appreciate this site.
@foodimentary--This site claims to share all sorts of food facts that you can impress your friends with. I love to cook and bake, so I was immediately attracted to this site.
@goodreads--All things books...and I am always up for a good book recommendation.
@pbsparents--PBSParents offers "parenting tips, articles and lots of laughs" and they said they are "serious about laughter." Being a parent of three daughters, I need some tips and laughter most of the time!
@awfullibbooks--I decided to follow this site because of Jeremy's blog. Props to Jeremy! I like that it claims to feature odd books found in the library--how neat!
@librarycongress--Last but not least, Library of Congress is a must for us library school students. I look forward to seeing the kind of information they tweet about!
Yes, there is a lot of dreck out there, but also a lot of worthwhile things!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it!

ReplyDeleteI think that describes the internet in general ... :)
