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?

    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.
