Why Twitter?

David Lee King had an interesting blog post about Twitter where he asked his tweets, "why?". Here are the answers:

• ShannonAronin@davidleeking Where to find the tools to make it useful? Answer: We Are Media.
• joshuamneff@davidleeking it’s cool that worldwide conversations take place on Twitter!
• hbraum@davidleeking (& reporter) hashtags are the true power of twitter imo #23smt and #libcampks09 2 other recent local hashtag usage
• DJ345@davidleeking Networking with interesting people all over the world. It is such an easy way to share information.
• jdelagardelle@davidleeking #tscpl for the interviewer: Cool is all about who you want to follow. Choose your peeps carefully. Librarians R the BEST!
• civillibrarian@davidleeking How libraries are using it to reach a broader audience?
• jokrausdu@davidleeking Many ways to communicate through it, such as Tweetie, tweetdeck, twitpic, or twitter.com and dozens of other ways.
• Suelibrarian@davidleeking tell the reporter hi from Perth Western Australia and that you have a global audience
• pcc24@davidleeking Interesting to think about what Twitter can add to the experience of events like SXSW i.e. what ‘being there’ really means.
• sirexkathryn@davidleeking Usually I’m in Western Australia with @suelibrarian, but today I visited you here bcs of a twitter invitation last night.
• sophiebiblio@davidleeking it’s cool that even though I’m now a solo librarian, I still feel connected to my colleagues!
• shawncalhoun@davidleeking I suggest a discussion could be abt Twitter and innovation. Twitter works on so many levels because its not prescriptive IMHO
• jdelagardelle@davidleeking http://searchenginewatch.co… #tscpl Reporter: Use Twitter as an education tool: Immediate feedback.
• curiouschild@davidleeking It’s cool that people are asking for and receiving help via Twitter.
