Tweeps, Eggs and Cartoon Women

Suggestion on Twitter that a good conversation starter is "I think I know you from Twitter". This will be particularly useful when I meet large eggs or cartoon women.

Heading to the Umbrella library conference soon, so I checked to make sure my web presence was up-to-date and correct. New photo for twitter was the first priority. Webcam mug shot but at least it resembles a current, vaguely professional me. Not vacation me with sunglasses and huge smile (unlikely sight at conference) or younger me from 2008 (hey, wasn't that just yesterday?). I also took another look at Linkedin; my profile is bare of recommendations or job details, but the information is correct. My employer doesn't print business cards and making my own would be frowned on, so I will be using LinkedIn to follow up on real life meetings.

tweeps?
I will be meeting face-to-face with people whose #ub11 and #cpd23 tweets I have been reading! This is a breakthrough entirely due to cpd23 encouraging me to tweet. I'd set up Twitter a year ago but I used it only for information gathering via Tweetdeck. Asking on Twitter about whether there were any #cpd23 people got a positive response and now I have a few people to look out for at the conference, which gives me a warm and cozy feeling.

If you've come across amusing library tweeters, please share.  @orkneylibrary and @beathigh make me smile.
