Twitpics

I used Twitpics to upload my first pictures to Twitter @besschinlibrary.
I took some pictures of the students during their mock senate proceedings which took place in the library. I've taken pictures before and posted them to my Library Leaves blog but this was the first time I've tried Twitter. I also discovered that you don't even have to go to the Twitpics site, you can merely send them as an email attachment to an address they give you with the tweet as the subject line.
I also posted pictures of our new "Wild Things" mural.

Try Bit.ly

Bit.ly is becoming the new standard for link shortening.

ReadWriteWeb has an interesting posting about it here. "A little startup called Bit.ly has unseated TinyURL as the default link shortening service on Twitter. This isn't just about shortening links, though. "The truth about Bit.ly," enterprise software analyst James Governor said today, "is that it's not a URL shortener, it's a trend management and metrics platform."

This is Bit.ly's link to the California School Libraries Work! wiki .
