![Page 6: Kang et al- Global tweets: a reading group in Denmark, New South Wales, New Zealand and Singapore](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/554fc450b4c90542018b4e08/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Libraries Community The 140-character revolution
Why Twitter?
• Short, easy-to-read messages
that allow for frequent and
regular updates
• Libraries can share and direct
followers to other content sites
(e.g. links to blogs) through
tweets, allowing them to focus
on content curation rather than
creation
• There is immediate interactivity
with an open community
• Easy tracking of content streams twitter.com/@readwatchplay
