Our LMS is currently down, so since I can't do anything with the big pile of journals on our trolley at the moment, I'll continue with this! I've been on Twitter for over a year now, although I really could do more with it. I've started following some libraries (British Library & Library of Congress) and Phil Bradley, as well as some other interesting art-related ones like @designsponge or @CreativeReview. Oh, and @cpd23 of course! I still sometimes have trouble with Twitter, especially coming up with things to say (!), but I do find it really useful for getting/giving out information quickly.
As I've been reading blogs and webcomics for years, I'm also quite familiar with RSS feeds. I've been creating podcasts for the Law Library, so it's useful to understand how they work! As well as the ones recommended ones on the cpd23 site, I also recommend checking out 'Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4' and 'Unshelved' (a web comic about librarians) on Google Reader. If you type either of those into the search box in Google Reader it should bring them up.
Pushnote is one that I haven't really used before. It's a nice idea, and could be very handy for sharing new websites or job ads for example, but without knowing very many other people who use it, it's a bit tricky to form a network! If you want to find me on there, I'm listed under Beth Paton.
