Hi guys,
Once again, I apologize for missing today's meeting. Please let me know if I've overlapped any of your presentations here, and I'll have the finished version ready Wednesday.

Outline:
Thinking about Twitter in the Context of Blogging
Twitter augments an ongoing Social Media presence, rather than replacing blogs and blogging.
Blogging:
* allows for in-depth thought and synthesis of ideas
* provides a repository of information
* reflects the evolution of an organization's policies and ideas
* provides the opportunity to access and respond to others' thoughts
Microblogging (Twitter):
* provides real-time updates on breaking news
* allows for more informal community interaction and rapid exchange of info & ideas
* publicizes and draws attention to blog posts, including 'what I'm reading' updates
* allows glimpses into the day-to-day life of the library, an "ambient awareness" of the library's doings.
Types of Tweets (online tour):
1. Type one: Publicity:

Sadly, since my section is basically about blogging dos and don'ts, there is quite some overlap between my section and your "Quick take on Twitter do's and don'ts."

I don't mind the overlap of the do's and don'ts, but that's just me. Great job Nora! Looking forward to our group run through on wednesday!
