U Can Now Find Me on Twitter


Had been thinking for awhile now about signing up for Twitter after holding out for years. Managing your online presence is time-consuming, hours can slip by unnoticed so quickly. Not having a Twitter account was all about time management for me. I’m not an advocate of participating in every new trend or service available either. You need to focus on the social media tools that will work best for you/your business, depending on your purpose, skill level and the amount of time you are prepared to invest in promoting yourself/your business online.

More and more though, with having a blog and following LIS and tech news, it seemed very “un-modernmlis” not to have a Twitter account. Also, @HillaryClinton inspired me. You can now find me on Twitter (nic @themodernmlis).

The following editorial is a great case study of trolls (a fan base in this instance) using the Amazon reviewing system to suppress the popularity of a publication, when in the past the problem has been over inflated reviews. No longer is it only governments and other political groups trying to suppress intellectual freedom.

A Casualty on the Battlefield of Amazon’s Partisan Book Reviews – NYTimes.com

Quotable: “In the biggest, most overt and most successful of these campaigns, a group of Michael Jackson fans used Facebook and Twitter to solicit negative reviews of a new biography of the singer. They bombarded Amazon with dozens of one-star takedowns, succeeded in getting several favorable notices erased and even took credit for Amazon’s briefly removing the book from sale.”
