Thing 12 - Putting the Social into Social Media

I have said it before, but my favourite professional social medium is Twitter - it's a great way to keep in contact with a wide variety of people, librarians, information professionals, Stephen Fry, and so on. 
I do read different blogs, but there are so many and it's hard to keep track of them all, while Twitter is so easy to just dip in and out of. I don't tend to have time to post as much as I would like on Twitter due to work pressures, but you can get away with using it like this.

CPD23 The continuing saga!

I have noticed that Stephen Gregory has added his twitter feed to his blog, and I'm trying to work out how to do it myself, but no luck yet!  I also explored Twapperkeeper, mentioned at last week's CLIC Social Media Conference, and can see how useful it is, although it depends on people tweeting what's actually happening at the time.  I did a little of this, but it's a bit difficult, and requires multi-tasking to pay attention to the talk and use your smartphone to twitter a short description, comment or question.
