library on twitter

Here we go again. I just looked at twitter for the first time - is it just me or does this site promote banality? Every tweet I found about the library was either, I'm studying at the library, I don't like going to the library, the library doesn't have the book I want, etc. If you didn't have any physical contact with people, the stream of tweets might represent a conversation to you - but what good is this conversation if you can have it with yourself anyway? Maybe there are more stimulating subjects to discuss, but how much information are you going to get out of them if they are only a sentence or two long? Maybe it is a good place to write rhetorical questions like "Do you know where your children are right now?" Or, "Do you know how many people are wondering if they will eat anything in the near future as you write about people 'slutting up to study at the library' (Actual tweet)?" Any way, I'm glad I got that out of my system. (How ironic to be writing these comments on a blog.)
