#31 More Twitter and RSS

What is rude in life is rude in Twitter. In DUMB LITTLE MEN, tips for life are (1) Be yourself (2) Be a good friend (3) Stay in touch (4) Use Twitter (5) Join a club. In the Librarian Library & Catalog Tweets Revealed there is a timeline of Milestones at a Glance for the economic recovery package from 03/03/09 to begin reporting the use of the funds, then on 05/03 for the Federal Agencies to report the beginning of grants, and on into 07 of this year and beyond into 2010 of what will or should happen.

Thing #30 RSS Feeds

I found the RSS Weather for our area, as well as a couple things relating to our First Lady and "Nightline" that I try to watch each evening. I feel I really miss this if I'm not available to watch it. I already receive the ABC News Poll, Iraq news of the day and really, I don't think I need more right now. Also read about the "FilterMyRSS" to sort out the unwanted informatin from the RSS feed and to provide only the information relevant to me.(This picture depicts the arrival of the mail by pony express from Mankato to Blue Earth when we held our Sesquicentennial of the establishment of our city in 1856.)

This week I created my google alert - the ongoing news of the Iraq War and I did see that it was there this morning in my news. We, both my husband and myself, are very interested in genealogy and are using that both at home and I use it for patrons at our library. Now I want to add something for my brother who is in the "In Memory Day" in Washington DC for Vietnam Veterans who lost their life, other than in the battles. He was inducted in 2006 and we were able to attend. Bookmarks are good to go to favorite websites. Also, my favorite is CNN News, which we were able to visit in person, a couple of years ago. I will add my pictures later.

Thing #27 Twitter

While listening to the WCCO news today, I heard that they are now on Twitter. This will be the "twitter" that I would like to subscribe to since it is the television station that we watch each and every day. So often, the announcer will ask for opionions on subjects that I am thoroughly interested in taking part. This is a microblog of 140 characters or less to send out notes via the web. I personally, do not want to use it to tell people what I am doing at the present time. To me, this is really, nonsense.
The key is - be careful what you say - some things you shouldn't leave lying around on the web
