Twitter and what I think

This could be a valuable tool to many people, but to me this would require a major shift in procedure. The use of this form of communication needs constant attention to keep up with the arrival of messages, particularly if you have a large list of people to follow. When I connected to the sites I wished to follow, there was a flood of messages arrived from the past which I am still trying to assimilate.

I found this great site about the use of RFID in libraries to follow on Twitter but the problem is that the website itself is based in Egypt and to read it properly would require a knowledge of the Arabic language. Push the translate button to choose ENGLISH and away we go. This only translates the information in the body of the page, at the moment most of the side menus and links remain in Arabic but they are working on a full English page.
