Thing 8 = Twitter

The Social Media Management Tool I selected for Thing 8 is Twitter. I enjoy using Twitter myself on my personal iPad. I am mostly a follower although I occasionally tweet. My favorite things about Twitter: Following Scottish authors and breweries & finding out about current events long before I read about them in the newspaper. I also like to put pictures on Twitter when I am traveling. And I love to make up hashtags--that's fun! The two disadvantages for me personally with Twitter are that I don't have a smart phone so I can't live tweet when I am at a conference or event, and I am not "allowed" to be on my personal Twitter account when I am at work, so I can't use Twitter in a "professional" capacity.
