Yay for Twitter

  1. Crying (figuratively speaking) about losing my notebook on the bus. Dropped it on the floor as the bus was making a turn around a roundabout, book slid across the floor and neatly through the gap between the door and floor. @suelibrarian going and checking the roundabout for me later, confirming that the book was indeed “smooshed”.
  2. Talking about the Jawi script (Arabic used for writing the Malay language)- in Malay. Making connections with people I would otherwise have little opportunity to connect with.
  3. Finding a network of managers - library managers - who use Twitter and other web 2.0/social media tools and getting a forum for us created. (NB: this also satisfies a suggestion my boss made during my annual review. Work-related AND fun, what a win)
  4. Getting lots of support from Twitterati
  5. Laughing Out Loud at amusing tweets

    Back luck about the netbook. Did you lost any important data or is it all backed up?

    *Gah* lose, did you lose any important data?

    Steve and genevieve I lost a paper notebook, not a netbook or laptop!

    As for losing important data, I occasionally entertain the delusion that my magnum opus, or at least the beginning notes for it, were in that notebook, and they are now smooshed… But yes, pure delusion.
