Top 10 Reasons You Should Be On Twitter

Teen Librarian's Toolbox (an awesome site for if you're looking for program ideas, book reviews, and general YA lit news) just posted a great piece on the top 10 ways Twitter can help you as a teen librarian. 

I have to admit that I am not on Twitter.  I was involved in getting my library on Twitter, and spent a year tweeting fruitlessly.  Our only followers were spammers.  Sadly, we got more than twice as many followers (legitimate ones, too!) the next year, and we did not tweet once. 

The moral of this story?  Don't ask me for tips on Twitter, but do check out the link.  TLT has some fabulous tips on how you can use it to keep on top of the YA lit world, connect with other people in your profession, and lists a number of good people to follow on Twitter.  This post may have changed my mind about Twitter. One day soon I might feel brave enough to tackle it again.  This time I will make it work for me, and not worry about followers.
