Husband started tweeting in March and I joined then to follow him. It's been neat to see his posts and to learn who's following him. After a conversation with him this morning, he proclaimed that I am Web 1.0 since I follow things and Web 2.0 is all about collaboration. My Igoogle page is filled with blogs that I follow, plus my daily Non-Sequitur fix. I love this tool as it keeps me in the loop with professional things as well as friends. But like the student I was in the classroom, I tend to listen and reflect internally and on occasion raise my hand to contribute. The challenge to me then would be to start tweeting!
Too funny is a recent Tweet from a public librarian. In responding to a common question posed to librarians, "What do you do?" he tweeted "I help mentally challenged people stalk celebrities on the internet. What's not to like?"

I'm anxious to learn more about Twitter. It seems like people who learn to use it enjoy it for more than just socializing. Could you see this being a productivity tool as well?
I think Twitter can be a productivity tool in the sense that you become part of a learning network and make connections that allow for growth. Many of my work blog posts come from things I see other folks post about on Twitter.
