Some things have changed since I last looked at this. Twitter is proving to be a valuable tool for keeping up with what's going on in the Porofessional and I use it to follow fellow librarians rather than friends. However, certain professionals don't do the same and I often see their holidays snaps as well as the latest on Library issues! However it's my favourite method of keeping in touch. Note to self: 'must post more'! RSS is fabulous too, as I've managed to link RSS feeds into our intranet. Those that get directed into my web browser are a little lost because I have to remember to click on the right tab. That's as much my fault as browser inefficiency.
I failed to look at Push note last time around but was sad to see a farewell note online when I checked http://www.pushnote.com/farewell. Maybe something will replace it eventually. However, it does demonstrate the fickle nature of web 2.0 tools if they aren't popular enough. It seems that we need to stay with the big ones like Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox & Evernote which are my current favourites. One area not included in the CPD23 list is an online forum. I belong to the SLN forum which goes directly into my email inbox. I find this invaluable in connecting with the latest and very specific issues that are affecting school libraries in particular. It also helps those who are one man bands feel connected.
