Twittering Libraries

April 21st, 2007

Jeff Scott:

“I did it! I was able to take all of the library’s notifications and put them into twitter.

I set up our twitter account at http://twitter.com/cglibrary

Then I dumped all of the library’s rss feeds into http://www.rss2twitter.com

Now everytime the library has an update, a library event, a new book or video, or new newsletter, it goes automatically to twitter. If the content is too long for the message, it automatically creates a tiny url.

How so very cool!!
