OPLIN received a request for further information about how to use
Twitter for the Save Ohio Libraries effort. Here's some further
information:<br>
<ul>
<li>To sign up for a free Twitter account, go to <a
href="http://www.twitter.com">http://www.twitter.com.</a> <br>
</li>
<li>If you are doing this as a library, rather than as an individual,
be sure to read this first: h<a
href="http://www.oplin.org/meanlaura/archives/320">ttp://www.oplin.org/meanlaura/archives/320
</a><br>
</li>
<li>To tweet (send messages) about the effort, you should use the
official hashtag. That is "#saveohiolibraries." You can learn more
about hashtags in general at <a
href="http://www.oplin.org/meanlaura/archives/286">http://www.oplin.org/meanlaura/archives/286</a></li>
</ul>
The more people who use a particular hashtag in their tweets, the more
noticeable they topic becomes. Enough use of a hashtag may result in
the topic making what is essentially Twitter's top ten list--"Trending
Topics," which means it will be nationally noticed.<br>
<br>
If you have further questions about how to use Twitter or other social
media, please don't hesitate to contact me. <br>
