Rudai23 2017 workbook

Networking tools Facebook, Twitter etc I have had a Facebook profile for at least the last ten years and a twitter for about seven. I mostly use twitter for professional networking as I tweet from most conferences and seminars I go to either as myself or from a group profile. I have been engaged in several #uklibchat over the years. I found the topics here interesting and people engaging and helpful. They always seem willing to answer questions or point you in the right direction, or on occasion disagree and have a discussion with you.  I find tweeting can be quite challenging even with the new 280 limit it can be difficult to get a complicated point across.
