More reasons why I don't like twitter

Why did a twitter thing for something called @dating_cafe suddenly appear?  First I find it on this blog above the calendar. I certainly didn't put it there. While I was trying to investigate how to remove it it activated itself in Twitter. I have found a button called block so I have blocked it. I am extremely perturbed by the whole situation.

And why would you want to have current awareness from journals going into twitter when you could have them either as rss or email? I seem to be missing something here!
I am already using journaltocs.
I will investigate the google alerts over a period of time.

Twitter

Have created a twitter account and made one tweet and selected one thing to follow. But I am still not comfortable with this and still don't think I fully understand it. I can sort of see the rational for making a library twitter but it doesn't feel very comfortable. Of those which I see some I think are potentially useful to the people reading them and some seem a bit self indulgent.

More on rss feeds

I have just used this reader to test out something that is happening on our netvibes site and it unfortunately happens here too. rss feeds from Ovid journals are not very friendly! You have to login to Ovid again for each separate article in a feed. Most disappointing.

RSS Feeds

Well I have managed to add 12 things to an existing google reader account and add another new feed. And avoid accidently adding them to either microsoft or outlook. This has also prompted me to investigate how to remove a feed from Microsoft feeds.

And I have added a picture to this blog!
