Twitter

Been using twitter for a long time now - follow all sorts of people, including Sue Bradford - I told her so yesterday when she was in the library - and of course Manukau Libraries, as well as the wonderful author who re-tweeted my review of her book "The Christmas Cookie Club".  I add a comment every now and then - unlike some people who tweet all the time from their phones!  I prefer speaking to people face to face, or actually speaking on the phone!, I know, a dying art!  The customers I deal with are fairly compter savvy and I don't talk about the maultitude of things available for them to waste time on - if they want to ask that's different, then I could pass on the little that I know.  I would sooner talk about books!

Too many annoying popups telling me I have won - and of course you have to take the time to read them - just in case..... Who knows, one day I just might ring the number.....yeah, right!
This is similar to other programmes I have been using for years to convert documents to pdf  format - no need for that anymore as I can scan them and hey presto! they are pdf documents!  Word 2007 (on our learn.nets) save as either .doc or .docx or even pdf.  I did hear one casual staff member showing a customer last week so some people will use it.
