Just joined Twitter. I am trying to get my head around it all. Will Stephen Fry really be following me and knowing about my cheese sandwhich for lunch!
Update!
Having not been very active on cpd 23 of late, I'm starting again. (Basically, my very heavy Autumn Term teaching load is tapering off a little and I can start to think of things other than information literacy workshops with Engineerting students!)
I have identified some folk to follow and guess what? I'm going to select anything that I find usful for my blog and add it. I've decided that I'm not going to blog at length with tomes staright from the heart but for the most part, I shall recycle anything of value and make that available to my follower (s?!)
I have looked at RSS feeds and can see the use. A little confused though that I thought they were delivered straight to my inbox, but it appears that I have to access via a folder in Outlook or through Google Reader. Will I remember to do this? Time will tell.
I have looked at Pushnote but could not see much of a use for me. Having looked at some colleagues postings it seems that I'm not the only one. I am the least techie savvy person and so if it's not good enough for my more able colleagues, then it certainly isn't something I'm going to embrace.
Not bad though. Converted to blogs, twitter and RSS but sadly not to Pushnote.

Thing 3
Personal brand. Gosh. Do I have one? I've never really thought that I did.
However, I must have. I have a certain style I would say. Not so much a brand but a style. Old fashioned, luddite? Maybe - but that's me. That's the way I get things done. If I am to promote myself professionally, (which is the purpose of my engaging with CPD23) I think it will soon become apparent that though I may be making use of the technologies, it is as a means to end, but it's not all consuming .Having said that, even I can recognize that I am going to have to work on reinventing myself as a librarian actively engaging and enjoying promoting myself as a librarian of the 21st Century.
Promoting myself as a brand outside of work..............................I won't even go there!!
