THING 31. MORE TWITTER

It's been weeks since I checked my Twitter page. I'm not a big Twitter fan. I looked at many of the suggested websites for this Thing. One of them was Twitterfall. You can see trends on Twitterfall by reading tweets as they roll down the screen. The tweets go by fast. Retweetradar.com shows trends on Twitter as a cloud. One of the tags that caught my eye was Ayn Rand. I looked at some of the tweets for her. A few weeks ago a friend told me that Rand's Atlas shrugged has been mentioned several times on talk radio because of its relevancy to the current economic conditions. I had never read the book, so I checked our catalog. All the editions have a request list. I added my name to one list and am now reading the Cliffs' notes.

RCL now has a Twitter page. It has notices of upcoming events and other library news.
