Thing 4 - Current Awareness (Twitter)

I have started with Twitter, and hope to look at the other aspects of the thing next week.  I do have a personal twitter account, but decided to set up one for work.  As I’ve done it before it was simple enough, but I carefully chose who to add.  I stuck to more professional interests, although I did add Stephen Fry as I believe that it’s compulsory.
I can certainly see how it can be useful, and I’ve used hashtags and searches before - just not professionally!  I have seen some conferences that used this functionality and it can almost feel like you’re there in some ways, as you get little updates.  I’ve followed a number of organisations, plus Phil Bradley and Karen Blakeman, of course.
